Recreation
Cedar Springs Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, ski, raft and enjoy a multitude of year-round recreational activities. The Bumping River runs next to the campground, offering a scenic backdrop for swimmers braving its cold, refreshing waters. Anglers enjoy casting a line into the deep pools lining the shore. Populations of rainbow, brook and steelhead trout prevail in this waterway. American Ridge Trail is open to hikers, backpackers and horseback riders. Extending from Bumping River to the notable Pacific Crest Trail, the American Ridge Trail offers over 26 miles of towering forests, stretches of meadows, alpine lakes and ridgeline views.
Facilities
The Cedar Springs Campground offers sites that can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided, but electrical hookups are not available.
Natural Features
The Okanogan-Wenatchee is comprised of glaciated alpine peaks that tower along the Cascade Crest. Lush valleys of old-growth forest define its western boundary and at its eastern edge, rugged shrub-steppe country comprises a more arid region. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet. Visitors can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer, and clear skies and plenty of snow in winter. Contact Info This location has limited staffing. Please call (661) 702-1420 for general information.

What you actually pay
“Extra Vehicle Fee $8.00” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $22 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
