We were camping with our horses. Very clean campgrounds. Nice bathrooms & showers. The campground trash cans were kept clean and the horse poop was picked up every time we made a dump.

This is our favorite place to camp and ride. The campsites are good and the grounds are kept up in good condition. The trails have been well maintained and are marked so well. It's so nice to go out on a ride and know you can find your way around and not get lost. I love the "to camp" signs so that you know you're on the right track. Overall, Cedar Lake is the premiere campground for horse camping anywhere in the four states. We travel 252 miles to camp there.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful small campground. We were close to both the bathrooms and the lake so we had a great view of the lake but a short trip to the toilets. It was quiet. The campground was clean and neat.

We came to Cedar Lake to trail ride, the accommodations for horse trailers and horses are wonderful!
This is such a beautiful facility with such a great trails, I was very surprised how few people were there to trail ride over the four days that we rode.
We will definitely be back.

Cedar Lake is the cleanest park we’ve ever been to! We could tell that our lot had been cleaned and prepped for our arrival. We witnessed the entire crew power washing, painting, replacing picnic table tops and benches with new wood, and clearing the walking trails. Beautiful location that we’ve already recommended to friends and on social media.

Sandy Beach Campground was not very well maintained while we were there. Knee high grass in spots. No hot water in the women's shower. Host was hardly ever there. We did not feel real secure with no one on site. The swimming beach is not very big but that did not stop the locals from packing it everyday we were there (2 weeks). Checked and hardly anyone ever paid. They would leave trash all over the place before they left. Never felt like there was enough room for our family who paid for a camping spot to go down there. The dump site did not have a working clean out hose. There is no cell service. Very disappointed with our camping experience there. Would not return.
