the place where you place your payment is a DISGRACE. It's so full of spider webs you can't read it. at Cedar Lake beach the glass covering was about an inch fallen down so the spiders had easy access. Maybe camp hosts could clean it just once a month but it's an embarrassment that Oklahoma looks like this

Cedar Lake is far and away the nicest, best maintained COE campground we've ever stayed at! The lake and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, and the campground is clean, quiet, and very well cared for. We've already booked here again for next year!

Cedar Lake is a great campground. Pretty isolated, with 3 very nice camp areas. We really enjoyed the large shaded sites at Shady Lane. The other loops were excellent as well, but I would go back to Shady Lane. The worst I can say about this campground was that the showers were too hot. So that says a lot. We loved the 3-mile hike around the lake. Definitely will go back.

We found the campsite after experiencing several dead ends and finally finding a park worker and getting directions. Signage needs improving.
The site 27 at sandy beach campground was barely long enough to accommodate my 20 ft Geopro . Others with longer travel trailers had extreme difficulty and were unhappy.
We booked 2 nights, stayed 1 and left. The fishing pier was nice and the tiny beach was tidy and accessible.
We won’t return. The previous 2 nights we spent at Beavers Bend, OK. Nice Nice Nice state park.

Loved the campground although it probably gets pretty noisy on the weekends. If there was cell service with AT&T we would stay longer. Overall good experience.

Although hard to get into our RV spot because it was on an incline, once we were settled, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We fished and caught dinner two nights. We hiked the 3 mile trail around the lake. We explored the area on our motorcycle and especially enjoyed the Talimena scenic drive. It was quiet and peaceful.

Site 27. Gravel pad that kept the site dry. Bathrooms clean. Trail around the lake was beautiful. Poison ivy was rampant be careful. Quiet and camp hosts friendly. Loved it!

It was our 4th stay at Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp. Enjoy it every time. Still haven't cover near enough of the trails. The only thing that would make it better would be sewer hook us or at least a dump station in the camp. We'll be back
