About seven miles east of campsites near Bismarck, Point Cedar sits along De Gray Lake under US Army Corps of Engineers management. The campground provides basic toilet facilities, though one reviewer noted the bathhouses need cleaning attention. Site selection matters here, as Site 34 backs up to a swampier section of the lake that can flood during rain events, nearly reaching the neighboring fire pit.
Park rangers receive positive marks for helpfulness, and the camping community tends to be friendly. The grounds could benefit from more regular maintenance, with weeding and mowing needed in some areas. Families should note there's no playground equipment available. Shouse Ford offers an alternative just over a mile to the east for those seeking different amenities or site conditions.
