Great campground! Lots of open spaces for kids to play (ours gathered anyone around and played a big whiffle ball game). Good nightly amphitheater program as well. Thanks for having us!

We arrived at dark so we’re greeted with a great view at sunrise. Highly recommend this spot for camping! Clean facilities, friendly host. Sites felt a tad close together since there weren’t any trees for privacy but we still enjoyed the spot for the little amount of time we spent there.

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Pass Campground. It is a beautiful area. The rangers and the program that evening was great, and it's a great location for cooler evening hikes!

Amazing campsite. The views were something out of a movie. The campsite was breezy at night and very peaceful. Highly recommend.

The location was excellent and environment accommodating. A restaurant near by was a plus. Having a coin-operated shower was excellent in scorching hot weather. However, the showers appeared not well maintained - some had very little water. Man's bathroom had two toilets and one was out of order for the two days we stayed there. Maybe fed funding cuts affected the maintenance? Otherwise a stellar 5.
