Nice campground on Cedar Lake with a beached swimming area that is protected against boats and jet ski traffic. It's also a day use area. BCDA Permit needed for 16 to 65 year olds

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days during May and June 2021. Our reservations made well in advance. I have a few complaints. 1. Campsites were so close you could reach out and shake your neighbors hand. 2. Cable lines had been installed, but someone forgot to order the boxes. 3. There was no WIFI really except at the front office. 4. Major renovations were going on during peak season which eliminated one of the bathrooms and showers. 5. Although pet friendly, there was no dog park or place for our dog to use the bathroom except for the empty campsites. 6. For anyone with children, there was no playground. 7. No pool I hope with the major renovations ongoing most of my complaints will be eliminated. As a positive, the cleaning crew were amazing.
