Caesar Creek Day Lodge And Group Camps — Caesar Creek State Park

The Cedar Point group camp at Caesar's Creek is a large hillside camp site. Yes, hillside. The site sits at the end of an access road that circles back on itself and has a reasonably large parking lot. A large flat lawn sits inside of the road circle but the majority of the campsite is a steep hill with a few flat spots for tents. There is a fire pit and picnic shelter at the top of the so you'll be lugging your supplies up the hill for meals.

Several trail heads start all around the site, both on top and at the bottom of the hill. One of those trails leads down from the hilltop to a small beach on the water. Since the trailhead starts from the picnic shelter at the top of the hill it's reasonably private and we enjoyed fishing and swimming from the beach. It does sit in the wake zone so you'll have to deal with waves from the boats.

The restrooms are at the bottom of the hill and have flush toilets with running water for washing, though only the cold water was working when we visited. The worst we encountered there were carpenter bees and some spiders. They were reasonably clean when we arrived too. The park service did come and close them early on our checkout day, but they came back and reopened them for us by request.

Overall, there are better group camp sites at Caesar's Creek. Wellman Meadow has the same amenities, except for the beach, and is flat as a board. Book that site if you can but if it isn't available, and the hill won't be a challenge for your group, Cedar Point is fine.

We camped this past weekend at the Cedar Point group camping area. to be clear, this is completely separate from the regular campground and is in a completely different area of the lake. Group camping is reserved through the park office and is currently $75/night for up to 75 people. It includes access to public restrooms (flush toilets and sinks) but no electricity or showers. Mainly for tents but they allowed a pop-up camper parked in the parking lot (you cannot drive on the grass-they will ticket you). Site also had a huge picnic pavilion with 11 picnic tables, a fire pit area with benches and 2 charcoal grills. Specific to the Cedar Point campsite: There was not much shade in the campsite. I was hoping to hang my hammock in the trees but there was a lot of honeysuckle surround the campsite so I ended up not putting it up. This site has access to the water down a steep hill or a short hike to the point for a beach and easy swimming access. The main portion of campsite is at the top of a hill which was good in that it provided privacy but was challenging hiking everything up (especially firewood). We had a big cookout Saturday evening with extra people joining us and this was a great space for all our activities. Overall, this was a great camping experience!
