Cedar Ridge Park

About this site

Cedar Ridge Park campground is located on the northern side of Belton Lake, a 12,300-acre reservoir created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1954. This year-round facility accommodates both tent and RV campers across 76 campsites, all equipped with water and electric hookups, covered picnic tables, and charcoal grills. The campground also offers unique screened shelter sites for those without camping equipment. The park is divided into two sections. The east side features a 2-lane boat ramp with courtesy dock, designated swim beach, playground, and basketball court, though this section closes seasonally from November 1 to March 1. The west side remains open year-round and includes a day use area with another 2-lane boat ramp, an on-site marina offering fuel and basic supplies, two large group pavilions, volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits. Facilities include 7 restroom buildings with sinks, showers, and flush toilets, 2 RV dump stations, and a hiking trail. The scenic white limestone bluffs of Cedar Creek and abundant spring wildflowers add to the natural beauty. Wildlife viewing opportunities include white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, bobwhite quail, great blue herons, and occasional bald eagles along the lake's 136 miles of shoreline. Reservations available through Recreation.gov with a limit of 14 consecutive nights per 30-day period.
