Only camp with 2 horses because that's what most sites have pens for. Electric fence is supposed to be allowed but the interrogation from the camp host I am totally unsure if we should use electric fence or not use electric fence. I was told multiple times our electric fence privileges are going to be taken away. Taken away because if me?? This was my first trip there and I did follow all rules for the electric fence but still felt in trouble for using it. I definitely didn't feel welcome, wonder if that's the reason the equestrian camp was so empty?? If you do camp with more than 2 horses you better reserve multiple sites so you have enough pens. We simply won't be back!!!!!!!!

It was a perfect place to stay. I stayed in site 33. Very level site. Close to facility building if you need it. Nice little spot to pull my kayak on shore. The lake is a perfect kayak lake. The lake is in a valley that allows you to get to wind protected spots with no difficulty. I enjoyed bass fishing for two days. Cellphone coverage is spotty but you can find spots. I will go back.

Pros: Beautiful campground, nice and level sites, swimming beach nearby, heated bathrooms with flush toilets and showers, hiking trail around lake is about 3 miles, 15 min from restaurants, groceries and laundry.
Cons: For about a year now the showers are cold at Sandy Beach when they used to be warm, no soap in dispensers, and since no camp host while we were there, many dogs roam unleashed. This is not only annoying, but dangerous.

We enjoyed our time as always at Cedar lake, It always very clean around the campsites and bathrooms clean.
There was not hot water in the men's bathroom and no soap in dispensers.
I'm not sure what the deal was, this was a first time to be disappointed in the bathrooms there.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful lake and perfect for kayaking and fishing. Love the walking trail around the lake which provides great views from all different angles. The park area is very clean as well as the bathrooms. We love that each campsite, at least in the Sandy Shore area, has its own access to the lake so you don't have to go to a boat ramp to put in your kayak.
