Awesome campground really large spaces with lots of trees. We have a 23 ft pull behind and lucked out with a first come first serve pull through #7 that just got vacated a day early on memorial weekend! We stayed two nights . We spent most of our time turkey hunting and exploring. We loved the campground, but because of its proximity to the marina (down the cliff) if there was a party going on then you’ll hear it. It was only annoying for a couple of hours. Bag of wood $10 Bob the host great guy ! I did wish he would’ve told us that in order to dump you need to be escorted to campground up the road and let in the locked gate. Maybe there were Instructions at the kiosk and I overlooked them? Bathroom and water spigot near by. Picnic table fire pit with grate Trail down to water is a little precarious towards the bottom be careful if you are lugging drinks and chairs and fishing rods etc.

Host there was very rude. Made a big deal about my group showering there after I proved that we had reservations. She was cussing at us and even put her hands on us. The host with the short hair.

I really enjoyed this campground. I counted six well water stations with clean, drinkable water and three sets of vault toilets so neither are far away from where your site is. It was clean and quiet, fire rings had a grill top and some sites had charcoal grills as well. Mature, tall trees gave plenty of shade and it's extremely close to the marina and water.

Love the campground and the host. WARNING: no water in this or any of the neighboring forest service campgrounds. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN WATER. There is a private RV camp that for a $6.00 fee, will let you fill up. That's how we got water for our travel trailer. Cedar Springs campground is peaceful and close to the marina. If you take the time and preplan, there's several scenic places nearby including the dam. We also drove to Vernal (about 45-60 minutes away). Awesome scenery and view points. We are not boaters. We were here Memorial weekend. We arrived on Saturday and had lots of rain. However, the rest of the time we had cool, dry weather.

We had a wonderful stay at Cedar Springs Campground! The grounds were private and shady. While the camp host wasn’t present during our visit, the bathrooms were very clean. We stayed at campsite 7. It was close to the bathroom and water spout. The lake view was also only about 20 steps away. With that being said, we could hear all of the music and fun happening at the marina. It didn’t bother us, but I’d you are looking for a quiet stay, the site might not be it. We loved it though! Would definitely stay again!
