We love Ceder Point Campground! It's secluded and just beautiful. We stayed at the campground and use the boat lauch all summer. There are plenty of green spaces and walking. They do have a camp store and offer firewood and ice cream. It's a pay to enter campground. Cell service is spotty at best. We bring our own. The camp staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful. It's definitely a hidden gem. Highly recommend.

My family and I have stayed many times at Cedar Point with no issues and it has always been enjoyable and friendly until this weekend. I went to the camp store with my two grandkids to see about getting a spot in Sept and the lady working was very hateful and rude to me, my little granddaughter was about to cry by time we got back in the car because she didn't understand why the lady was rude and hateful with me. I even asked the lady if she was having a bad day cause she was so rude and hateful to us thinking maybe she would realize she needed to be nicer to the paying customer but nope she continued to be hateful It became clear to me real quick why there was more empty spots than I've ever seen while there so I will not be camping here anymore until they bring in new friendly staff members! There are to many campground for us to pay to camp where they treat you like your bothering them by being there!

What a gem! Great spot (well worth the short drive). Hot shower was lovely. The only reason I gave just three stars is because, after talking to them on the phone and driving out here, they basically forced me into spot #6 which is virtually the only spot here with absolutely zero shade… my health is questionable at best and the hot blazing sun made for a challenging load out to say the least. Highly recommended. Just don’t do spot #6.

Beautiful campground, shower house is not great. Issue: I was charged to visit someone who was camping there. There is a boat dock there as well for public use. You have to pay a day use fee. I've been here several times. Never had this issue. I was told under new management and alot of things have changed. Its a small campground and very pretty. UT paying to visit family and friends for a few hours is beyond ridiculous

Very nice campground. Bring all your boards because the sites are extremely unlevel, but by adding a few boards under ours we were able to get it completely level. I loved the view of the lake and everyone respected quite time while we were there. We liked it so much we went ahead and planned another trip while we were there for later in the year. We had no idea we were so close to a little piece of heaven.
