About this campground

Nestled in the breathtaking Warner Mountains at 5,600 feet, Cedar Pass Campground offers an enchanting mountain escape where towering white firs and stately ponderosa pines create a natural cathedral above your campsite. The gentle melody of a crystal-clear stream provides the perfect soundtrack to your wilderness retreat, whether you're seeking a peaceful overnight stay or planning a memorable family picnic. As autumn arrives, the campground transforms into a painter's palette of brilliant golds, crimsons, and amber hues, making it one of the region's most spectacular destinations for fall color enthusiasts.
The campground is oriented toward basic camping experiences with no fees required. It accommodates tent and RV campers, with specific restrictions for group camping.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal transitions of the high country at Cedar Pass. Winter brings a hushed tranquility to the mountains, with crisp, dry air and occasional dustings of snow that transform the landscape into a pristine wonderland. As spring melts into summer between May and October, the campground awakens with perfect camping weather—warm days ideal for hiking and exploration give way to cool, star-filled nights perfect for gathering around the campfire.
ElevationPerched at 5,600 feet in the Warner Mountains, Cedar Pass Campground offers the refreshing embrace of mountain air and sweeping vistas that stretch across the rugged landscape. This elevated setting provides a natural respite from summer heat, with temperatures typically 15-20 degrees cooler than the valleys below, creating ideal conditions for outdoor adventures and restful nights under the stars.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living postcard where ancient white firs and ponderosa pines stand sentinel over your mountain sanctuary. The campground's crown jewel is the pristine stream that dances through the property, its crystal-clear waters catching sunlight as it tumbles over smooth stones. This harmonious blend of forest and water creates intimate camping spaces and endless opportunities for nature photography, quiet contemplation, or simply watching the interplay of light and shadow through the pine-scented canopy.
