We've always like this park for the closeness of the VA. I wish they would reopen the laundry facilities, it's only for the hosts and storage for the hosts (not sure what the hosts do anymore...they don't man the gate and didn't see them around the park either). The dump station on the west side is in the wrong location. You have to circle back thru the campsites once you use it.

Imagine is old and the lake dried up a good bit so you need to climb down about 25 to 35 feet downhill to get into the water

We had a great time at Cedar Ridge. The lake level was low but the park is well kept. The campsites are very comfortable with a good distance between each site.

When arriving our spot was occupied we waited over an hour for the people that were in our spot to move to were they were suppose to be. I tried changing our location because we wanted to stay and extra day, the website didn't allow me to change it because my reservation had already started. after waiting an hour and finally setting up I realized the grill was knocked over and was not available for use. ( when we arrived the people there were cooking and I didn't realize they brought they're own grill. The fire pit was visible and looked normal but later saw it had something tied to it saying it was out of service!!! If you plan to visit this location and want to be able to use the grill and firepit I suggest you call in advance to make sure they're in working condition. We were there March 12th. And the spot was 12 Firs!!!
