We didn't know there would be a quarter mile of gravel to the campground with a steep hill down to our site. Bathrooms weren't cleaned-winter dirt on toilet seats in the permanent bathroom near the river with leaves blown in /neglected. Grass wasn't mowed. Full price even tho nothing was open. Mini golf had debris all over. The road was washed out near site c4, which was a pull through for our 65' motor home and towing a truck. We did have basic water, electricity & and sewer, but it was not worth the full price. If you have kids, this might be fun during the open season. People drove by on a golf cart but weren't friendly. If you are desperate for a night, a walmart parking lot would be better because of the highway noise. Amenities would get 5 stars if they were ready.

Nice camping spot. We originally had a back-in spot but wasn't appropriate for our 36' rig. Melissa upgraded us to a pull through, which was perfect, no leveling needed. I 80 runs parallel with the campground, but the noise wasn't bothersome to us. We try to find campgrounds close to the interstate when traveling to our destination spots. Thank you Melissa, for helping us with the switch.

Melissa at Cedar River was so helpful to us when the spot we reserved was not a good fit. It was a nice campground with mature shade trees. Lots of family friendly stuff to do. Only thing was the expressway noise but it was fine with a fan to drown it out.

We absolutely love this campground! The owners are nice and extremely helpful. Everyone has been super friendly and helpful. My kids love the pool, snack bar and the pool house. We especially loved candy bar bingo! Is next to the I-80 but that has never bothered us. I don’t notice the sound until someone asks about it. Permanent spots are close, but again that doesn’t bother us, especially with awesome neighbors. Great rates! Fun activities on the weekend! Super quick to cleanup after storms.

Water was orange and the shower house was absolutely gross with mold in one of the showers. Spots were almost too tight to pull campers into because they are so close together. Owners seemed nice until they weren’t. If they approach you with a problem and you disagree with them, the first comment is they will not argue with you and will have the sheriff remove you. You either agree with them or you have to leave. There is no in between. They were selling liquor during events without a liquor license. Pool is not open at this time. Very run down and no clean up after recent storms. They charged for everything because they have to make money somewhere they said . Interstate is loud and bright lights from the giant billboards. They seemed to cater to the people who have seasonal spots and don’t care about anyone else. If you camp by the overnight pavilion they hold events there and it’s right next to your site. Our vehicles were blocked in by ATVs and golf carts during the event.

Very old when checking in the lady said don’t park over there they have bedbugs. The first site we got tripped the breaker twice got to looking it had 1 20 amp and 1 30 amp breaker so we moved to one that had a 50 amp.It’s right on the side of the interstate which was fine but it was noisy. If I could do it over I would have chosen a different camp ground.

Easily accessible from I80. Clean, very basic bathrooms and showers. Pictures online show idyllic river-front sites. We, and all of the campers who arrived after us, were given slots in a field with a few trees, less than 100 feet from the interstate. It was extremely noisy all night.

Highly Recommend this Campground! First year here but I am so impressed! The Pool is amazing and I love the Camping Spots! The owner is kind and takes great care of the campground! I love Cruising around in the Golf Cart and the Campers are also so Kind! My Family has came out here for years! Plus the kids are kind and inclusive.

Worst campground I have ever stayed at. First the site we were told to go to was occupied. I called the number at the bottom of the paper I was given and explained that my site was occupied. The girl on the phone seemed to be more interested in something other than me and hurriedly gave me another site. I have a 24 foot RV and it barely cleared the road in front of my site. The site was on a hillside and was easily 2 foot uneven from back to front in just a 24 foot span. The entire area near the hookups smelled so strong of sewer and flies were everywhere. Our site was no more than 150 yards from Interstate 80. There is a bridge there with expansion joints. Every vehicle that went over them made a thud-thud. I counted the hours until we could leave. Originally I was going to give it a 2 star rating but after reading my own review I lowered it to a 1 star review. I will never stay there again.

Nice place well taken care of. The caretakers are extremely nice and accommodating. I travel all over the U.S. for work and this is the first time ever a caretaker helped me set up my camper. Pretty cool! It's about a 2 minute walk to the river they have many amenities and its a pretty cool community.
