Cedar Lake was beautiful, this is our second time going and it did not disappoint! The only bad thing I would say is that the restroom closest to us was closed which we weren't aware of. The next one available was not a far walk at all but was out of toilet paper the entire time we were there and was also a bit dirty. Other than that, the campground was awesome!

The shower in the men's bathroom was broken. The doors to the bathroom needed repair. I was very pleased to see OETRA taking the lead in corrals being repaired. It had rained so much the corral bases had to be redone, plus the fact of people putting more than one horse in the corral. On the positive side, a fine will be given to campers for leaving the pens dirty.

The place to go with your horses and do some trail riding.

Shower in men room in equestrian area out of order, new septic field by site 17 overloaded and water erosion visible at end of lines, only improvements are being made by donations. The facilities are very run down with no improvements in sight. The dump station is finally open after being closed for a year or more. The only thing consistently good is the contractors that pick up the manure. They earn their money.

Campground is clean. Trails are marked well so if you have a map, you can ride all day. Like their new enforcement requiring stalls to be cleaned or face a fine. This year's camp host was great. She came by to check on us every day. Good place to go.

The staff was top notch. They absolutely check for Coggins and match papers to the horse.
The stalks were clean and in great shape. The camp was clean and beautiful

Overall a good experience! Loved the trails which are well marked! Camp host was very helpful! Camp spot was good...had lots of cut firewood! Only difficulty at the time was the bathhouse; men’s shower did work (so some were showering on the ladies side). Shower water was only lukewarm at best.
