About this campground

Nestled within a pristine forest of towering fir and pine, Cedar Camp Campground once offered visitors an enchanting retreat into nature's embrace. This beloved woodland sanctuary, where generations of campers found solace beneath ancient evergreen canopies, currently remains closed to ensure visitor safety following the impacts of the 2018 Ranch Fire and 2020 August Complex. The campground eagerly awaits its restoration to once again welcome outdoor enthusiasts to its tranquil setting.
The Cedar Camp Campground catered to OHV camping enthusiasts. Other details about the types of camping accommodations previously available are missing.
Historical SignificanceCedar Camp Campground stands as a testament to nature's resilience, having weathered the transformative events of recent wildfire seasons. The 2018 Ranch Fire and 2020 August Complex have left their mark on this historic camping destination, prompting a temporary closure that prioritizes the safety and well-being of future visitors. This pause in the campground's story reflects the ongoing relationship between California's wilderness areas and the natural cycles of fire and renewal.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground's setting showcases nature's grandeur through its impressive stands of mature fir and pine trees. These stately conifers create a natural cathedral overhead, their branches forming a living canopy that filters sunlight into gentle, dappled patterns on the forest floor. The aromatic essence of pine needles and the whisper of wind through evergreen boughs define the sensory experience of this mountain refuge, where the forest's timeless beauty continues to captivate despite recent challenges.
Geological RegionSituated within a remarkable timber ecosystem, Cedar Camp occupies a special place in California's coniferous forest landscape. The area's mature fir and pine forests represent centuries of natural growth, creating a habitat where towering evergreens dominate the terrain and shape the character of this mountain environment.
