Campground Overview
Introduction
Tucked away on the lower Current River, Cedar Spring is one of the smallest campgrounds in the park. With only two sites, this location has great potential for secluded, private camping. With the river only a few feet away, campers can enjoy swimming, floating, fishing, and more. This campground also gives great views of some stone bluffs, which are illuminated by the sunset. Lastly, a short walk up the road, visitors can watch for wildlife along a large field.
