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.

Great place to go whether you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway or a place for the entire family. There is also multiple things you can do such as walking trails, fishing, a rifle range, and exploring off road trails in a vehicle.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful place. The lake is pretty and they have nice trails. We came in on a Tuesday. We had an RV site with water and electric. However, when we got there, we were informed that there was no water. It had been off since the day before. We could have dealt with that, however, the bathhouse was closed also. You had to drive over to the next campground for bathrooms and showers. Water was back on within an hour us our arrival--the camp host called and had it turned back on. They had turned it off the night before because they thought it might freeze and just forgot to turn it back on. The camp host was super nice! We enjoyed the campground. But there is absolutely NO internet or phone service at all if you have ATT. you have to drive 5-10 miles up the road to get any calls. They really need to have WIFI access for the campground. Overall, a pretty place, just plan to be a little bit on the primative side, even if you have a water/electric site lol
