When we arrived, there were cars parked in our spot from the camper next to us. We had to wait to park because they were gone in a boat and someone at the site had to find everyone’s keys to move their vehicles. They had 4 cars at their site and 4 at ours.

Cedar Ridge has been my home away from home this year. The park is very well kept, and gate attendants are friendly. We look forward to our next trip out. Thank you for all you do to making our stay as enjoyable as possible.

I have been going to this park for years but it was very run down this last time. All of the docks were roped off and non usable. Didn't look like much mowing had been done. You couldn't get close to the water for the tall grass and weeds. All they have now are volunteers that don't know anything or can do anything, there are no gate attendants. It was very sad to see the conditions of this park.
