This park is one of our most favorite places to stay; especially in the fall. The massive amount of deer that freely walk around the camping area are breathtaking. We love to grab our chairs and sit outside just to watch the beautiful deer. I love this feature of our stay at Cedar Ridge.

This was our first camping trip with our first RV. Cedar Ridge was the perfect location to get our feet wet. The park hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Our site was level and the covered picnic areas on each site was a nice plus. As newbies we forgot a few things and stores were a short 15 minute drive. We’ll definitely keep Cedar Ridge on our list of places to return to.

We love camping at Cedar Ridge. This was our first trip of the year and first with a gate guard in quite awhile. The park volunteers are generally very friendly and have always been helpful.
This last trip seemed a little off. With too much unnecessary attention and nitpicking placed on family gatherings and boat owners. And, too little focus on issues like dirt bikes & loud trucks driving recklessly thru the park or what appeared to be a longstanding oversight of pet owners failing to clean-up after their animals.
Also, the ramp to the dock has been broken for 9 months, but open for use.

Nice clean park, friendly staff, restrooms are clean, and park was quiet even though it was full. Sites are level and have plenty of space for trailer and multiple vehicles.
