Great, quiet camping. Our campground had the water heater break a week or two before we came, so we had to go to another campground that had hot water for showers. Camp hosts were very helpful and available. Great restaurants within 15 minutes of the park: Southern Belle, Mamaw B’s, a very good Mexican restaurant. Antique shops in nearly every nearby town.

Cedar Lake is the best lake for perch fishing and enjoying the quiet woods.

Very clean all throughout the campground. Quiet with great views. Great fishing. I tented. Very level pads in all sites in the beach area. Ran an extension cord for electric heater.

I stayed in the equestrian camp. I was impressed with the respectfulness of the quiet hours, the camp host’s checking that all was OK, and the cleanliness of the restroom/shower house.

This was our 11th trip back to Cedar Lake. We absolutely love it. Great campsites, great trails and a wonderful camp host. Making plans to go back in November!

This time of year was beautiful. The dogwoods were blooming and the trees were just starting to leaf out so we could still see the mountain views. The weather was great and the camp host is very friendly.

This is an amazing campground!! The facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was knowledgeable of the trails. Maintenance was quick to respond when I had a problem with my outlet. Highly recommend this campground for anyone with horses. The terrain is really rocky so plan accordingly.

Except for sewer hook-up, space # 30 was great for us, because we had our grandkids. It was by the beach, parking lot, bath rooms, fishing dock.
We loved it.

I love this place so much! The women’s bathroom needs some work though. It’s gone down hill substantially and over the past two years.
