Managed by the Muscatine County Conservation Board, the Cedar River Campground sits within Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area along the Cedar River's edge. Sites vary considerably: some front the river directly, while others are larger and set back against wooded bottomland. Spacing between sites is generous. Campers should note that restrooms can be a long walk from the far riverside sites, and fire rings don't all come equipped with grates. Bring one if you plan to cook over a fire. Trails run through bottomland forest and prairie, and the river provides direct fishing and boat access from camp.
Description
Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area has three campgrounds each managed under a self-registration system. Campsites cannot be reserved.
Firewood is available in the main campground for a fee. No out-of-state firewood is allowed in MCCB areas.
Campsites have picnic tables, fire rings, and on-site parking. Tent camping only sites (Area A Chicken Creek) do not have on-site parking. Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis only.
