Sewer system is very bad. Bath house on Shady Lane has been closed for some time. Dump Station on North has been closed for almost a year. Park had a lot of camper and the bathroom ran over water made a pond in back. The tap water was white foam never did clear up while we were there We will not be going back. The camp host was very nice but Forest Service over the park is not doing a very good job.

The campsite was very well taken care of. The restrooms were very clean and even relatively cool even though the temp reached 100 degrees while we were there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

We stayed in the campground the entire time, but it was very beautiful and peaceful. It was a lovely weekend with family. There is no cell service and I was nervous getting out there because of lack of service. Do plan to go back for a visit in the future and will plan on arriving during daylight hours for easier set up.

The camp host (brenda) is AMAZING! She is totally helpful and always available if we need help of any kind. The area is beautiful and the campsite was immaculate. So grateful for this place!!

It was wrong timing for my brother and I it was so windy and the chance of rain we only stayed one night. The restroom at the Noth shore was locked the handle on the door was missing the Handicap restroom had so many bugs inside you could have made a bug pie. The campfire was still smoldering from the last camper I would assume. I love Cedar Lake it is one of the most beautiful lakes in Oklahoma. My brother and I are planning on making another camping trip in October Good Lord willing. Thanks!
