We had our wedding here and it was absolutely perfect! The owner Jacob was phenomenal to work with and gave us alot of space during our event.

We played kickball during the wedding reception and the late night bon fire turned into a singalong and the entire weekend was an amazing unforgettable experience. Thank you Camp Cedarcrest! Thank you Jacob!!

Not your average camp ground... Came here for a wedding where the whole place was rented out. It's a very small and quaint camp ground. Could use a little tidying up but otherwise a decent place to camp. Wierd that it's just 10 minutes from New Haven and off a very busy bi-way. We enjoyed our stay here. There were showers and bathrooms of course and a cool pavilion where the reception was.

I've always loved coming to Cedarcrest! We've been there for five years now, and they've always been great! The whole park is beautiful, the cabins are a lot nicer than other camp grounds I've been to, and the kitchen is a godsend. Will def be back! Oh, and there fire theatre! So awesome!

This campground hits the perfect balance of rustic and convenient. The bathroom facilities are excellent, and the cabins are comfortable and well maintained. They even have real mattresses, not cots. Plenty of space for tenting as well. There are some lovely water features, including a brook. There are nature trails for hiking that connect to a nearby nature preserve. Plenty of pavilions and... This campground hits the perfect balance of rustic and convenient. The bathroom facilities are excellent, and the cabins are comfortable and well maintained. They even have real mattresses, not cots. Plenty of space for tenting as well. There are some lovely water features, including a brook. There are nature trails for hiking that connect to a nearby nature preserve. Plenty of pavilions and outbuildings for group activities, and a recently redone fire pit/circle that is amazing! I attend a yearly event here every August and am in love with the feel of Cedarcrest.
