GatherGrounds Resorts has acquired Ridge Ranch Campground in Newton Falls, Ohio, marking a major milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion. The acquisition brings new leadership and investment to one of the region’s well-known family camping destinations.
Under the new ownership, GatherGrounds plans to launch a series of significant improvements aimed at enhancing the overall guest experience.
Among the first upgrades will be the construction of a modern bathhouse designed to provide greater comfort and convenience for campers. The facility will feature updated restrooms and showers, addressing one of the most essential amenities for visitors.
The planned bathhouse construction reflects GatherGrounds’ broader commitment to improving infrastructure across its properties. By focusing on key facilities such as hygiene and accessibility, the company aims to ensure that each guest enjoys both comfort and a genuine outdoor experience.
According to a press release, another major addition planned for Ridge Ranch is the installation of a Wibit floating water playground. The interactive attraction will include inflatable obstacles, slides, and climbing structures, offering a new way for guests of all ages to enjoy the campground’s lake.
The addition of the Wibit water playground supports its goal of offering memorable, safe, and engaging outdoor activities while maintaining the campground’s natural charm. The company views the planned upgrades as a way to attract a wider range of visitors and create an enhanced guest experience that complements existing amenities.
The company also plans to upgrade the campground’s water systems to improve both recreational and potable water quality. Enhancements will include new filtration processes and infrastructure designed to ensure clean and safe water throughout the property.
Beachfront improvements are also in development, including plans to expand the beach area to accommodate more guests. The expanded shoreline will create additional space for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation, offering visitors a more open and inviting waterfront setting.
To complement these upgrades, GatherGrounds intends to implement a comprehensive cleanup and landscaping initiative. The project will include debris removal, vegetation restoration, and improved pathways to maintain a clean and accessible environment.
GatherGrounds Resorts, known for its strategic investments in outdoor hospitality, brings extensive experience in campground management to the Newton Falls property. The company’s existing portfolio emphasizes family-focused recreation, nature-based experiences, and community-oriented hospitality.
