Cedar Ridge (TX)

This is just flat out a beautiful, no frills park.  It is water and electric only.  There are some primitive sites but there are not full hookups.  The sites along the water give amazing sunset and sunrise views.  Our site was right on the water allowing us to fish from our spot.  There aren’t any activities and there aren’t a lot of trails but there is tons of wildlife.  You will see large groups of deer, turkey etc just wandering around.  

Nice and quiet park

Cedar Ridge Park COE, Lake Belton TX

The campsites are located on small loops which limits the traffic past the individual camp sites.  Many people, but spread out so didn’t feel crowed. 

Nice yet close to get city 

Found this camp at the last minute for an overnight stay. Seems to be on the river channel. Fishing is great. Campers next to us cleaned fish the evening we arrived and the next morning. We had awesome phone and wi fi coverage with T-mobile. We were in spot 62 and it was mostly level. We are in class B camper van.
