Cedar Hanson Co Park

Boaters and anglers will find multiple access points at Cedar Hanson Co Park, a county-managed campground operating mid-May through mid-September on a lake surrounded by farmland. The property offers both drive-in RV sites with electric and water hookups and walk-in primitive options, including two shoreline sites accessible by short hike. Large grassy sites feature big trees overlooking the water, though the lake runs shallow and fishing performs best early in the season.

Campers can expect to hear train whistles but minimal road noise, with occasional farm odors depending on wind direction and site location. The facility includes restrooms with showers, though the shower areas lack floor mats. Sites come with large fire rings, park benches, and no reservations required—claim a spot then register at the self-service box. For additional camping options in the region, consider campgrounds around Mountain Lake. Firewood availability is typically limited to Friday and Saturday during busy periods.

Guests frequently mentioned the large, tree-shaded sites with lake views and variety from primitive to RV hookups. Some feedback indicated shower facilities need improvement, and cell service is limited.

Quiet inexpensive lakeside

Large grassy sites with big trees overlooking lake. Bathroom with showers. Can hear train whistle but no cars. Wind sometimes brings farm odors into area so sites at the end of the road may be better if you don’t need elect. Electric and water $25 primitive $15. Some of those are walk in. Dock for boating.

Feels like you're in the woods.

This camp ground is surrounded by farm land including our own. The only down side is the lake is shallow so fishing is best early early camping season. The showers are also odd to get dressed since there's no mat so maybe go in with a swim suit. Cell service is sketchy! If you like backpacking in without an incredibly long hike there's two sites that are off the beaten path find them on Google maps, they're on the shore. But the rest are all RV and drive in. Except for holiday weekends you basically have the whole place to yourself, but only expect to get wood on Friday and Saturday! No reservations, grab a spot then go back to the registration box. No grill on the fire ring, and they're huge. Park bench in each site, electric hookups at some sites. Nice variety of easy and primitive for whatever you're looking for.
