Camp just was very accommodating as I had booked the wrong date he was able to find me a site for one night due to the fact I was a day early

We have been to Cedar Ridge several times over the years. It's a pretty campground. We camp during the middle of the week, so it is usually very quiet.
@RyanJ5089765 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #T5
I have visited this Campground for over 20 years now. By far it's my favorite due to the simplicity of everything. Very quiet and relaxed

A17 did not have sufficient room to park my boat along with my truck and took a lot to get the camper level. There is some view of the lake, electric only hookup, and a restroom (not shower) within walking distance.

Convenient location on southeast end of lake. We camped during the early teal season and had a great time. We will be back again.

Cedar ridge was a beautiful place to camp! Easy to book, quiet location, friendly.
@RickW4075177 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #A7
The fishing is great, as always. Beautiful lake! Beautiful sunrises, and sunsets! Very peaceful!

Cedar Ridge has always been my goto at Stockton Lake. I have stayed over the years at a few sites at Table Rock fav there is Mill Creek. These 2 trips to Cedar Ridge were great, very clean sites, very personable staff at gate house. Reserving is a bit complicated but that's probably tech passing me by as I age lol. I plan on going again this weekend in shoulder season was kind of hoping at least showers would have water but understand winter can sneak up quick. I plan on camping more now that I have the access card but will try some other Core lakes in the area. Having a bit of a hard time understanding the other providers ie national parks, forestry as I generally go to SW Michigan for the 4th of July but don't seem to find much in that state as DNR controls a lot of the places I go up in northern Mi. All said card has more than paid for itself and do enjoy the Nature of our country.

The area was well kept, no trash anywhere. Restrooms were clean.
@JulieT3381117 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #B1
It was so quiet and peaceful here. Our site was close enough that we could walk down to the bank and fish. We will be going back there in the future.
@KyleeSB2190D68 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #A26
Loved the area! Didn't like the fact that the toilets and showers were in the same room because what if someone wants to shower while someone is just using the bathroom or vise versa and the bugs were pretty bad. Other than that, we plan on using Cedar Ridge more often!
@OmaDBB43E40226 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #A26
The check in was the smoothest weve ever had (and it was on a very busy Friday!) The camp host was prepared with our paperwork ready to go. He was friendly and checked on the needs of all campers twice a day.
@JettieB4398588 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #B2
Very nice camp ground.
@AnneL2049436 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #A3
The campsites are evenly and perfectly dispersed so I felt the privacy. Each site was nicely designed as well and the streets might have just been re-done because everything was smooth! There are not many grocery stories and restaurants near by so prepare to bring in everything you need. And the lake water was PERFECT! The refreshing dip but not too cold. I could have spent all day in the water.
@ChristaRA36F7B · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #A21
Nice quiet place to camp. Clean area to camp.
@PaulaB5328808 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #A23
This use to be a clean, quite place to stay we have been coming for over 25 years, but now there's trash everywhere. The site have more tents than what is suppose to be aloud, seen one site with 8 tents on it. There's dog poo everywhere I thought it was required that the dog owners clean up after their pets.
@DaleS8289121 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #A11
First of all we never saw the camp host the whole time we were there. The bathrooms were horrible! No toilet paper. The picnic table was rotten. We couldn't use it. The grass was not mowed. I have been camping at cedar ridge for years because of its beauty. It's not anymore. So sad the shape it was in. I'm sure I could mention more but it makes me sick to think about it .
@AndreaR8487660 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #T2
Absolutely loved Cedar Ridge Campground! From check in to check out! Great for a big family!
@AulaireB4F39F9 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #A33
A wonderfully secluded campground right on the lake. Lots of trees and well maintained. Near the boat ramp that is for campground guests only. Flush toilets and clean showers were very much appreciated. We stayed midweek and it was very quiet. Will definitely stay here again.
@BruceM1268542 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #A13
Great site with the amenities we were looking for.
@MikeA1573556 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #B5
The pad was great. Pretty clean. I have a peeve about trash in fire rings. I had to clean out trash before I could start a fire. There were a couple plastic bottles in it.We were not affected by the lack of potable water. We did not run out of water we brought from home.Host was great.
@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #A33
The water spigots were all mark "NOT POTABLE" due to late water testing. These things should be done before June 1st!
@jefferyb750561 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #A30
Good facility. Recent heavy rains have taken a toll on the park that need to be addressed. New upgrades to some of the bathrooms was nice!! Lost power to one of our sites but was able to move to another.
@NeilaK458FE090 · Camped on Apr 22, 2025 at Campsite #B3
Would be better with full hook ups. We stayed in B3 we enjoyed it but had to be sparing with our resources due to no full hook up. I also have tried to book a one-night stay for May 18 th for us and another friend, but it says I can't because I have extended my 14 days stay, I have only stayed the 2 nights last week. I did book a camp site for a friend who does not know how with the online booking, but their site is A32 in their name using their pass, their email and their credit card. somehow your site thinks that it's me. The only thing that was me was my computer! I would like to have this problem taken care of.
@AmosG272ED6F81 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #A26
My family and I had a very wonderful experience camping here. The hosts were very welcoming. They made rounds checking on guests and offering help where needed. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
