Newer park located about 10 miles south of Bloomington and near Monroe reservoir. Quite a few seasonal rentals in the park but all in all, it was a satisfactory park. Sites are long, somewhat uneven and have gravel surface. Only a few sites in the park have concrete pads with picnic table. Sites are spaced out so you don't feel too close to your neighbor. Even though the temperature was in the 90's, the outdoor pools had been closed for the season. Wifi did not work at our site. Please note that your credit card will be charged the full amount of your stay when the reservation is made, a practice which I don't like. In spite of the shortcomings, we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a newer park (2005), and is affiliated with Coast to Coast. Our visit was early in the season, so the outdoor pools were not yet open. There is an indoor pool maintained at 85F. Most of the sites are pull-through, and can accomodate big rigs. The laundry has only one washer and one dryer, and is open 24 hours a day. The streets are a little narrow for bigger rigs, as are the width of the graveled sites. The sites are spacious enough; however, the graveled part is narrow in width. Most rigs, when pulling in or out, will cut the corners of the site, and will run across the grass. This is a minor consideration, as overall, this park is well maintained and quite nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at Cedar Ridge Camping Resort during October...a couple of weeks before Halloween. They had alot of activities planned...hayrides, trick-or-treating, pumpkin-carving contest. They also had a competition going for decorating your campsite. Very clean facilities; showers and bathrooms were in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The entire campground was well tended and pleasing to the eye. We would definitely return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
New and very nice park. The staff very friendly and helpful. The park is paved although the sites are not but we had no trouble leveling at all. Some of the pull throughs are long enough to park a boat on also along with your rig and tow vehicle. they have a few rules but nothing unbearable. You cannot take in firewood so make a note. You also cannot leave with any. check out their website for more info. They have 2 pools and working on a 3rd one. The one with the slide is very shallow. Only good for very small children in my book. They have a free 9 hole mini golf course. Nothing spectacular, but nice amenity. The trees will bring nice shade in a few years; the campground was laid out nicely and very clean. Had several seasonals spread throughout the park; but all seemed newer and in excellent shape. We would return again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park staff was very friendly. For a park that is new and still improving, it was very nice. Small mini-golf course, playground for the kids, it is set up for families. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We full time in our Bus Conversion. We spend at least 2 weeks every spring here because of the quick access to Lake Monroe, Hoosier National Forest and several other state parks. WiFi is available at the campground and we found it strongest near the office. The pull throughs were very large and many of them were concrete. The bathroom was large and clean and we really enjoyed playing miniature golf and swimming in one of 3 pools. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend this campground to anybody wanting to stay near Bloomington. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park opened in May of 2005 so not alot of mature trees yet. Very clean and quiet park, of course we were practically the only ones there at the time. Full hookups with individual heat tapes on each of the water outlets, really nice in January. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked this campground but we lucked out and had the nicest site in the place. The people were very nice and the facilities are first rate. There looked to be some tighter sites in a different area but we certainly had no issues. It is rather difficult to get to however, make sure to have a good map or GPS system. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice clean park, but over priced. For my grandson and friend to visit us for one hour it was $9/person. That's right $18! Couldn't get the wireless net to work. Good location and nice grass and some shade. Very helpful staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our camping arrangements fell thru for Memorial Day Weekend and this place was the only site that had availability. This park appears to be a newer park and some areas are still under construction but overall quality was good. Our site (#8)was on rock but level and no additional leveling was required. More shade trees would have been nice. It is a mix of rental and seasonal sites. Seasonal site owners seemed to take pride in their area and were well kept. They can accomodate everything from a tent to a diesel pusher bus conversion. Campground was orderly and quiet considering it was Memorial Day weekend. Pool and playground area was well kept and very refreshing. Unfortunately it was a self enforced rules area. Signs clearly state what the pool rules are but it was up to parents to enforce the rules with their kids which did not always happen. This did not adversely distract from our experience at the campground though. Going out the back of the primitive area is a road to the lake, kinda. The road goes down near the lake but not to the lake. You stop short of the lake and have to walk down to the lake and the parking area can accomodate about 3 vehicles. The last stretch of the road has a significant grade to it, I had to lock my Grand Cherokee into 4WD to get back up the road. Overall we had a great experience at the campground. With time, the trees will mature and provide additional shade. If I lived in the area, I would consider getting a seasonal site and go as often as I could. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were very disappointed that most of the sites are grass and not very level. We didn't find the owners to be very friendly, and they charge 9.00 per person if you want to have visitors while camped there. Also, the water pressure seemed very low, and the electric flickered several times a day. This seems to be an older park that is in need of updating in several areas. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean quiet family campground with some seasonals. The location is close to Lake Monroe just 2 miles from the beach and boat launch. I would definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
