Cedar Springs Campground

I’ll echo what someone else said, which was very helpful: the GPS will take you to the American Forks campsite. Just keep going past that one, and you’ll see Cedar Springs on the left. We had spot 9, which was right on the water. You couldn’t see the river from the site, you had to walk over to the edge, and it was a bit of a scramble to get down/up, but still perfectly safe for older kiddos. I wouldn’t want to have tiny ones there, without watching them. We were there in early August, so the water wasn’t very deep at all. You could walk all the way across it. The campground allows dogs, and most of the dogs were well-behaved, and so were most of the campers. Unfortunately right after dark, a group showed up across the street from us, partying until after midnight. (Mostly it was one guy

Nice campground. We got spot 15 and it was clearly marked with our last name and the dates we reserved. You can hear cars driving by to other recreational sites but at night there's no traffic or light pollution. There are 4 total pit toilets and two dumpsters. The hosts seem on top of keeping toilets stocked with toilet paper but I always advise bringing your own. There are spots along the river that look bigger but ours could fit maybe 2 tents and 2 vehicles. It's a really rocky area so plan on bringing some cushion to sleep on! GPS takes you to the wrong campground which looks like it used to be connected and is now only connected by foot path, follow the road until you see the cedar springs campground sign. I'd give more stars if only there was river access for the sites not along the

Old campground in need of maintenance. Outhouses were clean and well supplied but probably 75 years old. Hand pump water supply was rusty and needed to be pumped for some time before running clear. But it was clean and quiet and as close as we could reserve to Mt. Rainier.

Very beautiful location. Lots of natural firewood to be used, make sure to bring an axe/saw though. Secluded and clean. Would definitely return again and again.

Very nice and spacious spaces, I love the river and felt like it had a good amount of privacy. No bugs!
