Overview

Cedar Ridge is located on Stockton Lake in the scenic Ozark Mountains of southwestern Missouri. The lake and surrounding landscape offer countless recreational opportunities along nearly 300 miles of shoreline, providing visitors with many ways to explore one of the most sought-after natural areas in the state. Fishing, hunting, camping, sailing, boating and scuba diving are popular activities.

Recreation

Boating is a popular pastime at the lake. Sailing is especially popular and the lake hosts several races each year. The campground provides two boat ramps for easy access to the water. A swimming beach and an accessible fishing dock are also on-site.

The waters of Stockton Lake are home to several species of fish including small and largemouth bass, crappie, white bass, walleye, catfish and sunfish, making it an ideal destination for anglers.

Facilities

Cedar Ridge Park is open year round. It offers 54 campsites, many of which have electric hookups. Twelve sites have been established for tent camping only. Flush toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station are provided.

Natural Features

The land surrounding the lake contains hundreds of acres of native prairie grasses, rolling hills and thick forests that turn crimson in autumn.

An abundance of wildlife lives around the water, including wild turkey, Great Blue heron, deer and Bald eagles. Visitors can learn about the lake's Bald eagles at the area's annual eagle-watching event hosted each winter.

Nearby Attractions

Three full-service marinas are located around the lake, offering a wide range of services and supplies, including boat rentals, fuel, fishing tackle and restaurants.

Someone was on my site so I had to go to a site I really didn’t want. There wasn’t any park attendant to help me. I had to confront the people all by myself. It was not a good situation.

We arrived with no reservation, but I was logged into recreation.gov to check for available sites. I saw that B6 was the only available site in the B loop. Driving around the B loop, the actual post that said B6 as we learned later, was very difficult to read and we thought it said B8. Then we saw the light post across the road that said A6. We thought that was the available site and set up. The next day, a camper arrived and claimed that we were in his reserved site B9. After he showed us the actual B9 post which was quite a way from where our camper was and totally missed by us, and he went over and rubbed the dirt off of the B6 on the B6 post so that it was more obvious. We felt awful about our mistake, and he graciously agreed to take B6 for the night and move to his actual spot B9 after we left the following day. So it all worked out but after a heated conversation with a very nice guy. There needs to be better more readable and less confusing signs for marking the sites. The post for B9 should be closer to the actual site. The post for B6 needs to be more readable. And the signs on the lamp posts need to be taken down blacked out. The actual B6 site had a lamp post that said A5. I realize my actual complain needs to go to the Army Corp, not the organization that handles the reservations, but you need to be aware when issues arise that legitimate mistakes are made.

Camp site B8 at Cedar Ridge did not have 50 amp service as listed on the CoE website. There was 30 amp. However, the 50 amp did not work. There was no staff present or contact phone number available to address this problem when we arrived. I believe it is unfair to charge us for a site that was misrepresented.

Beautiful area. Enjoyed the lake, hiking around it and fishing. The campsite was decent. What wasn't great was that the water had been shut off, the showers and toilets were locked up, and the one vault toilet we found had non-functioning lights. What were we paying a nightly fee for? Well, not those amenities! Also, it was an unfortunate requirement (for us) that we had to pay for the entire weekend. We stayed Thursday and Friday nights, but were required to pay through to a Monday morning checkout.
