About Cedar Ridge (TX)

Cedar Ridge Park campground is located on the Northern side of Belton Lake. This year-round campground accommodates both tents and RVs and has several sites with screened shelters for those who do not have camping equipment. This family friendly park provides many amenities, including water-bourne restrooms with sinks, flush toilets, and showers, group picnic areas, and a concession marina within the park offers fuel and basic convenience store items, as well as a seasonal restaurant. Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. Belton Lake is a long, narrow and winding lake with many curves and coves, providing some of the best camping, fishing, and boating in Central Texas.

It would be nice if the side of the park with the amenities was left open instead of the side with no amenities - ie, park, boat ramp.
Side that is open only has one restroom whereas the other side has 3. The restroom was broken so those that needed one were out of luck.

Quiet, beautiful area with lake view. Extra large sites with plenty of distance between campers. Covered picnic tables at each site with wildlife coming and going. Large herd of deer and turkeys each day.

Gate attendant extremely pleasant and helpful.
