Campsite was perfect! Close to the shower house but had plenty of grass space for the kids to play. Shower houses were very clean, but the floors were SLICK when wet. Also the showers only had scalding hot water, like I could hardly use them hot. Playground was clean and well kept, and overall it was very quiet! Swim beach was clean.

Nice campsite which stays shady most of the day

Great setup with concrete pads long & wide enough for my 35 foot 5th-wheel trailer. The water and electric was in a perfect position to allow me to utilize the whole pad and not worry about slide-out positions. The hosts were very nice and accommodating. The RV sites are very level as well as the tent site locations. Newer looking toilet houses that were pretty clean and offered flush toilets. Plenty of room between sites so you don't feel like you are in your neighbor's business.... For $22 per night it was hard to beat. My only wish was 50Amp service versus the 30 Amp currently offered. It got a little warm in the afternoons running only 1 A/C unit. All in all a great value.

Spots are packed, no water play for kids not even a sprinkler in your area.

It was our first time camping there in our RV. We were surprised there was no sewage hook-up; however, all was well. Site #45 was perfect for our RV trailer camper. Our family was in tents next to us at #42, and we had enough room for the two tents and still had balloon fights. We even had enough room on the parking slab to jump rope. The senior couple who were caretakers, along with their two tiny puppies, were a joy. Returning to the campground.

We love these campgrounds and the options for doing things.

Very peaceful and quiet. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
@WarrenGB51BCFA · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #C47
Had a great site that was well shaded and a good lake view. Sites are well spaced, and both the CG and shower house and smaller restrooms were very clean. This is the third time weve stayed here and recommend it.
@CarlaL826BFF0F · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #C84

@AnnaH8078719 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #C35
The lots are HUGE! Lots of mature trees. Clean, modern bathrooms. Lots of volunteer staff to help with problems. Great campground.
@TonyaH1642216 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #C44
My husband and I spent 11 days in 44 on the east side of the park. It was a wonderful time. The lot was wide and we didnt feel like we were on top of our neighbors.The grass did need to be mowed but we have had a lot of rain.
@richarda847269 · Camped on May 14, 2025 at Campsite #C50
The late check on is difficult to schedule particularly when coming from a different campground where you have to check out before noon
@DaleB2844532 · Camped on May 14, 2025 at Campsite #262
We enjoyed fishing for catfish as a family and the disc golf course was fun too!There were 4 deer down close to the shore in the evening and baby geese following their Mom in the water. The songs of orioles delighted us too! The sites and shower houses were nice and clean! We have been coming here for many years in May and will be back for sure!
@WinnieH427DD9B · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #C7
It is our favorite campground. Its clean and we love the beach!!
@HannaRFFB5B43D · Camped on May 3, 2025 at Campsite #114
Great campsite! Clean bathrooms, clean camp grounds. It was water front and a great view. Even got to see an eagle nesting!
@MarcellaC709ED · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #C73
The campsite and the restrooms were so clean! We would see someone check the restrooms several times through the day. Other campers were all respectful. We enjoyed the stay so much we even extended it by another day!
@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #C33
Very good, we will be back
@GaryW8456397 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #C101
We love Cedar Ridge, and that it is open year-round. Nice hot showers!
@PeggyCB6BDABE3 · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #C49
Bloomington East # 49 was a great location. We have camped in this spot before and would choose it again. You can see the lake. Easy place to walk dog. Close to restroom. The spot is relatively level.
@KeithC8792158 · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #C18
This camp site has the door facing the west so keep that in mind. However, it was not bad when we were there. You could perhaps take a pop up for those few hours in the evening. It is at the end of the line so no neighbors to the driver side. it is close to the main road, so it was easy to walk the dogs to the lake versus walking through the campground and activating the dog alarm system. :-) Overall, a good site except for the hours with no shade.
@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Apr 11, 2025 at Campsite #C20
Needed mowed. Hopefully better after spring clean up. lots of winter debris.
@DebbieH309235E · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #C57
We have stayed multiple times at Cedar Ridge & we enjoy our stay every time.
@KarenD6822172 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #C94
Other campground was closed early, denying others the opportunity to campAnd the Bloomington East Campground closed early. We need a campground host. Let me know. Ill be willing to stay till the end of the month in November. Campgrounds need to be open. A lot of people like to camp when weather is cooler.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
