I've stayed at Cedars about 3 or 4 times now and there are things that I love and do not love about it.
It's right off of the Trans-Canada Hwy, so it's easily accessible. Rates are not cheap but prices do include hot water showers and flush toilets. The women's restroom facility is not fancy and even though I appreciate the toilets, I find the showers a little greebly and actually prefer to use my camping shower when the weather is nice. The facility can get very busy because of the amount of women using the two available showers as well as the electrical outlets for hairdryers, etc. It's not cleaned as often or as thoroughly as it could be (although I know its cleaned once per day for sure) and they allow for a build-up of spider webs, which grosses me out because there are usually large spiders in them. Nonetheless, it certainly is better than a rotten smelling port-a-potty.
There are some great, roomy tent sites with decent picnic tables. Others have very shoddy tables with minimal privacy and shade. The campground itself doesn't seem to get very busy so if you arrive early enough, you can get your pick of sites. As a group, we get the same one every year because we feel it's the best of the non-serviced tent sites (#67). It has shade, privacy, lots of room for two tents and vehicles and there's a water tap beside it.
You can purchase necessities at the store such as wood, ice and snacks. The wood is always dry and the pieces are small enough that you can use a hatchet instead of an axe. I prefer to purchase everything else before I arrive or in Sicamous, which is about a 10-15min drive away. There's also a laundry facility, pool and hot tub in the main building, but I've never used them.
I've walked around the RV park, which I think is lovely and very family friendly. The restrooms are considerably nicer.
I will keep coming back to Cedars because it's peaceful and can get really hot weather. You definitely feel like you've escaped the city. read more
