No water as expected, be wary of large number of field mice in the area. Otherwise clean.

Very private camp site. There are not showers but the non flushable restroom is very clean. Some wood for the the fire pit was provided but I recommend buying extra somewhere locally. There is no phone service at all but just be prepared with plenty of water and warm clothes for the night. I’ll be booking this camp site again.

Cedar Flat Group Campground was really nice. The pavilion was great, the firepit was awesome and the bathrooms were clean. Each group site was separate and private. One of the nicest campsites I have ever stayed at.

The campsite was very nice and well maintained. Far enough away from the other sites to be a nice quite getaway. The site itself was very large with enough trees for shade and room for large tents.

Everyone who went said they had a great time. I have to take their word for it, however.... I came down with Covid 24 hours before the trip.

Clean, well organized group camp. BUT, no toilet paper in either toilet. A rather significant in a group camp.

The campground was closed due to the pandemic. Recreation.gov said my reservation would be canceled. I guess not! I was charged for my stay at a closed campground then asked to review it. Im very disappointed with this website.
