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.

Nice quiet place to camp. Clean area to camp.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
@LorenH5343765 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #A32
Only 30 amp service and unlevel sites in Loop A. Nice boat ramp and a small playground. Fantastic camp hosts!
@MatthewH260473 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #B9
Wonderful sites. Well spaced. Looking forward to our next stay!
@Timothya1229FF · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #B4
Clean, quiet, and beautiful
@KerryT5402EA06 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #B9
Cedar Ridge is a beautiful place to park our camper and enjoy the water view. We had easy access to the boat ramp and plenty of room to park our boat trailer either at the ramp or at our campsite.
@JeffP3506157 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #A17
the bathrooms need more maintenance , and the fire pits need scooped out
@DougF2575819 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #A19
The camp hosts were fantastic, restrooms and campsites clean. Friendly campers. Everything one should expect.
@MelissaP943882 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #A7
Great place for the family
@AndrewD2287388 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #A22
Good camp. Maintenance guy helped me out when my car needed a jump, so that was much appreciated.
@kristyRCF243C9 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #B8
Love it here! Beautiful views of the lake and great camping spots, I wish they would add more!
@LorenH5343765 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #A33
The camp hosts are terrific! The campground is neat and clean, very well run! Unlevel sites and only 30 amp service in the trees. It would be very easy to level out the sites, but there are only a couple that are in the shaded part of the campground that are even close to level. Most are very unlevel, making it difficult to level up a camper. There is plenty of acreage in the trees to add more campsites around the inside of loop A1 through A9, preferably some shaded level sites with 50 amp service! It would make it a lot easier to get reservations there.
@BrooklinH01FD4 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #A14
We always love our stay at Cedar Ridge and will continue to be loyal campers there due to the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the camp ground itself, as well of the attentiveness of the amazing park attendants. Thank you for always making our camping trips so great!
@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #A27
With no host on site when we arrived someone was in our spot. Our tag was on the post, but they didnt leave until 8:30 pm that night We stayed in another site that was not reservedbut this would have been a problem if the park was full. There needs to be a number that people can call when the host is off site and a problem arises

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.

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!!!
