Nice spot at the end of the day

Cedar Creek trailhead is not officially a campground but the parking lot can be used for camping at after 5PM.  It is not massive lot, but there is plenty of space for five or six tents or car campers.  A spring runs next to the lot and if you have a filter, its makes for a great place to resupply on water.  

I stayed here in June 2022 and had no issues with locals driving up.
