Fishing and relaxing are the best here at Cedar Lake.

Cedar Lake is the best lake for perch fishing and enjoying the quiet woods.

I stayed in the equestrian camp. I was impressed with the respectfulness of the quiet hours, the camp hosts checking that all was OK, and the cleanliness of the restroom/shower house.

Very clean all throughout the campground. Quiet with great views. Great fishing. I tented. Very level pads in all sites in the beach area. Ran an extension cord for electric heater.

Great, quiet camping. Our campground had the water heater break a week or two before we came, so we had to go to another campground that had hot water for showers. Camp hosts were very helpful and available. Great restaurants within 15 minutes of the park: Southern Belle, Mamaw Bs, a very good Mexican restaurant. Antique shops in nearly every nearby town.

This time of year was beautiful. The dogwoods were blooming and the trees were just starting to leaf out so we could still see the mountain views. The weather was great and the camp host is very friendly.

Except for sewer hook-up, space # 30 was great for us, because we had our grandkids. It was by the beach, parking lot, bath rooms, fishing dock. We loved it.

I love this place so much! The womens bathroom needs some work though. Its gone down hill substantially and over the past two years.

This is an amazing campground!! The facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was knowledgeable of the trails. Maintenance was quick to respond when I had a problem with my outlet. Highly recommend this campground for anyone with horses. The terrain is really rocky so plan accordingly.

Great place to go whether you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway or a place for the entire family. There is also multiple things you can do such as walking trails, fishing, a rifle range, and exploring off road trails in a vehicle.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful place. The lake is pretty and they have nice trails. We came in on a Tuesday. We had an RV site with water and electric. However, when we got there, we were informed that there was no water. It had been off since the day before. We could have dealt with that, however, the bathhouse was closed also. You had to drive over to the next campground for bathrooms and showers. Water was back on within an hour us our arrival--the camp host called and had it turned back on. They had turned it off the night before because they thought it might freeze and just forgot to turn it back on. The camp host was super nice! We enjoyed the campground. But there is absolutely NO internet or phone service at all if you have ATT. you have to drive 5-10 miles up the road to get any calls. They really need to have WIFI access for the campground. Overall, a pretty place, just plan to be a little bit on the primative side, even if you have a water/electric site lol

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.

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.
