our campsite was the only muddy one, it would have been nice to change it. Bathrooms/shower didn't have heat. Park and scenery were nice for a cool day.

We love Cedar Lake. Very clean bathrooms. Nice big spots for large rigs. The trails are awesome and the campground host is super nice. We are making plans to go back over Easter.

All went well. Grounds were in good shape. Views were good. Trail around the lake was good. Now the 'bad', Some signage, especially the information bulletin boards, needs to be reconditioned. The trail could use some updated markers and signage. And some updating on the piers is needed. But still was excellent and will visit again.

There is limited service at the camp site, besides that it is well maintained and absolutely beautiful.

The stalls need some major maintenance. Trying to keep a stall cleaned on black hard wet dirt is exhausting, They all need gates. The heavy maneuver to get in and out of them when youre old, is very hard on your arms. The trails were not very well marked, they were sporadically marked. Too many big rocks, and the trails need severe maintenance. I would not return.However, the camp host Brenda was very helpful. You are lucky to have her!

Well marked trails. Nice facilities and shower house. Stalls and plumbing could use refreshing in showers.
@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #E4

The grounds in camp look beautiful. The camp host is very helpful. The trails are well marked.
@StephA36F606AF · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #E9
Only camp with 2 horses because that's what most sites have pens for. Electric fence is supposed to be allowed but the interrogation from the camp host I am totally unsure if we should use electric fence or not use electric fence. I was told multiple times our electric fence privileges are going to be taken away. Taken away because if me?? This was my first trip there and I did follow all rules for the electric fence but still felt in trouble for using it. I definitely didn't feel welcome, wonder if that's the reason the equestrian camp was so empty?? If you do camp with more than 2 horses you better reserve multiple sites so you have enough pens. We simply won't be back!!!!!!!!

Great spot, not too close to the beach but not to far from the bathrooms. Wonderful spot with!
@CindyM6464978 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #33
Showers were not working. Need wifi
@TimE040D26B61D · Camped on Apr 13, 2025 at Campsite #33
It was a perfect place to stay. I stayed in site 33. Very level site. Close to facility building if you need it. Nice little spot to pull my kayak on shore. The lake is a perfect kayak lake. The lake is in a valley that allows you to get to wind protected spots with no difficulty. I enjoyed bass fishing for two days. Cellphone coverage is spotty but you can find spots. I will go back.

Cedar Lake is an amazing place to stay. Good fishing and the walk around the lake is easy and enjoyable.

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!!!
