The campground here was nice and large. Lots of tent sites and room for trailers. The spots are very expensive as you can see from the info provided about the campground. We paid 36$ for our tent spot for 1 night. That’s crazy if you ask me. The sites are nice and have a fire pit and table. The creek nearby is unreachable from any camp spot. The bank access is overgrown and very steep. So don’t plan on playing in the water here. Bathrooms were nice and adequate. Trails for walker are located throughout the campground. It’s a nice campground if you don’t mind the price, but for my money I’ll stay somewhere else.
This was my first time at Cedar Creek. We have a great time and there was only 1 other campsite with occupants. Here’s a pros and cons list to make it easy for you. PRO’S -remote, heavy forest nearby, beautiful landscape -every site on the North side of the campground has a trail down to the river. Site 7 has concrete steps to the river. -fire pit and picnic table at every site. -quiet campground (but only 2 sites occupied while we were there). -miles of hiking trail at the start of the campsite. The park is divided into a day use site/trail head access and the other side is camping. -river is about 25 ft from the campground. -cool waterfall a few minutes walk up the trail.
CONS -No water or electricity. (This is actually a pro in my opinion) -south facing sites are 20 ft from the forest service road. If there’s any traffic you’ll hear it.
- if this campground was fully occupied I’m sure it would feel cramped.
We loved our stay here and will be back again for sure.
This is a very large (160 spot) campground with RV hookup and tent sites. There’s a great day use area as well. Bathrooms are clean and showers are available. Great place to stay. Just read all the other reviews.
I wouldn’t really recommend this campground. Drive slightly farther and stay in a more private better campground.
Pros: Close to Eugene Waterfront sites Nice facilities and bathrooms
Cons:
Very little room between spots
Not very woodsy
Feels like RV park
SO MANY barking dogs
Lots of other people around
Nice fire pits and tables at each site
Farm across the street has 05:30 am rooster
Busy road a few feet from edge of campground.
If you’re looking for a nice private get away don’t stay here. If you want to feel like you’re in the woods don’t stay here. If you want peace and quiet don’t stay here. If you like staying at an RV park style sight. Stay here.
Review: This is a great campground. We went on a Tuesday and found the only available spot. Many people came in looking for spots. Make sure to reserve a spot ahead of time. Campsite: Campsite had everything you need. Picnic table, tent site, and fire pit. Sites on the lake looked great but we couldn’t find an open one. Lake: Beautiful lake. Really worth the drive. Go to the Clear Lake lodge and rent a boat if you don’t have one (non motorized). It was well worth the 22$. Fishing is great too, stocked lake lots of trout. Overall: Wonderful experience, plan ahead, reserve a spot and you’ll have a great time.
We originally booked a reserved site at the campground. These slots are all in the center of the campground. The spot was nice but located about 200 ft from riverfront first come first serve sites so we packed up and moved there. Site manager said paying for these was different and we had to pay again. That sucks. Don’t reserve a site here. Pros: Our site was great with a trail down to the river and a rocky beach. Fire pit, table, tent site. It had all the standards. We were lucky to have a fresh water station across the road from us. Bathrooms were adequate. Cons: The train tracks are literally across the river. Maybe 200 ft away. The train runs all day and sadly all night. If you fall asleep easily to the sound of a train horn and train cars along a track then you’ll love it here. If you sleep lightly or generally dislike train sounds, good luck sleeping. Our “neighbors” told us they had moved to the river site because at the other end of the campground road noise was louder than the all night train noise. Summary:
If you stay here it will be beautiful and the river is great but might want to bring earplugs. Fortunately you won’t need to bring your sounds of the train yard sleeping CD with you to lull you asleep at night.
