We rented a cabin from the august long weekend and had a wonderful time. The beds were SO COMFORTABLE!! The cabin was clean and came equipped with garbage bags, dish soap, dish towel and cloth, paper towel, toilet paper, hand soap, hand towel, and shower mat. The grounds were well maintained and the sandy bottom beach was busy but lovely. Everyone we met was very friendly including staff. The environment is very family oriented and we are already planning a longer stay for next season with 4 other families. FYI We really appreciated having brought our shade tent and table cloth for the picnic table.
Our campers have visited Cedardale Campgrounds for many years unfortunately after our last visit, we will not be coming back to this awful place! The manager is incredibly rude, unprofessional and racist. Referring to guests as YOU people and MY people. I hope management looks into this further because she’s hurting your business. The past few years have been great but since the personnel change, service really went downhill! The pool was not opened at all during the long weekend. Showers are pay per use. No more wagon rides. Most of the staff working there are miserable. Lots of trees that are cut down. Lack of activities for the kids except the crowded lake. The other negative reviews about this place is accurate. Different rules depending on your race. Please don’t support businesses that treat people this way! There are better places out there where everyone is welcome!
So disappointed today. I take my 2 older aunts camping every summer. We like to try smaller, private campgrounds rather than provincial parks. We arrived today and the 2 women in the office were lovely! Friendly and accommodating. We asked to look at their transient/overnight sited and the beach. She gave us a map and let us go!!! Until we met a very unfriendly woman on a golf cart in an orange vest. Obviously staff. She pointed out the 2 sites and drove off. We looked and then started for the beach. Completely got lost. Many Friendly people gave us directions. As we finally arrived at the beach, orange shirt lady is waving her arms in the air. "You can't just drive around this park, out you go". When we explained that the women in the office had given us permission, she stated " I don't care, I'm the manager and you need to leave ". I don't think it's unusual to ask to view a park prior to staying and have done so many times. So, needless to say no freaking way would I go here. In a world full of chaos, camping is a wonderful way to relax. Perhaps the owners should speak to this manager and reinforce that kindness should be a top priority when managing a successful business.
I booked a cabin online and paid in advance to visit a friend there, they called and told me that the manager would not entertain a 1 night stay even though I booked it through their website with no issue. No compromise was offered by the manager other than an absolute no on the reservation I made. The poor person on the phone who had to tell me that my weekend plans would be ruined was very apologetic for the inconvenience and polite however the lack of compromise through the manager who delegated the bad news to an employee instead of calling me to explain the situation is deserving of 1 star. Long story short, cabins are a 2 night stay regardless of what their booking software allows.
We love Cedardale, the sandy bottom water, the friendly people, we always enjoy our summer getaway there. My only suggestion is that they put encasements on the beds so nothing ever gets in or out! It's a must for hotels and rentals of any kind! I never want to worry about that after a stay. We wash/dry bedding/towels after but it should be completely encased to avoid any issues going home. Just something I noticed. Prevention is key! I hope to see that the beds are covered not just on top, encasements!!
Very nice campground. When I booked I never noticed they didn't have a boat launch since I normally go to fish. Really didn't bother me. Beautiful tent site sheltered by the trees, 30 feet to the showers and the washroom. Nice beach, pool and a friendly staff. I'd definitely go back.
We've Been coming here for 10 years straight but for the last 2 years in a row since they changed the Management. . They turned to be Racists ang Arrogant! ! !
Nice area... tent sites too close together. Not very private.... very small beach area.
I'm seasonal and I love the park. The people are wonderful and welcoming and the beach is great!
This was a great campground for the kids they had a wonderful time. They played volleyball, went swimming in the pool that was heated well, it was cold and wet weekend so it was great that they turned up the heater for the pool. The staff and campers were very friendly.
