This area is located in a pine forest and provides a campground and picnic area while serving as a trailhead to the 36-mile Cedar Creek Trail. Four picnic sites and 8 campsites are provided. Larger grassy area can provide small groups such as scouts.
From New Bloomfield, head west on Route MM 1 mile; Turn north on Route J to Guthrie; Then turn west on Route Y for 2 miles. From Ashland, go east on Route Y, 7 miles.
It's a small campground with 8 large campsites that could sleep 6-8 people (3-4 tents). Some campsites had two picnic tables, others had a covered food prep area Camp for the cedar ridge trail, the trailhead is located here. Highly recommend the trail, truly beautiful nature especially in the fall. A local grocery store and gas stations are located in Ashland - 15 minutes drive.
Small rustic campground with long hiking trails. If this location doesn't have a spot available check the park map for nearby campground locations.
Campground closed for winter.
Overall great tent camping experience! Set in a picturesque pine forest, clean restroom, and multiple water spouts. Gate is closed to cars from 10PM-6AM so you don't have to worry about traffic, however front of the park is still open if you come in late. We visited mid-March during the week and there was only one other group. Trail head onsite for a nice hike. Nearby by farm noise was interesting - cattle off and on and a rooster starting at 4:15AM, but hey, it's free (suggested $8 donation/night). Highly recommend!
Small, peaceful and not too far off the beaten path. Honor based pay, 14 day max stay, vault toilet and trail system. Some sites can be pulled into with smaller campers others you park along the camp road and pitch a tent. Good sized field for activities for larger groups or kids. Occasional road noise from main road, (usually louder vehicles like motorcycles and such). Please pick up your trash and don't be afraid to pick up from other's. Lets keep the land clean!
