Cedar Ridge Park - Lake Belton


Cedar Ridge Park
Belton, TX
COE Park
March 2009

This is probably the most popular camping park on Lake Belton. The park is located about 15-20 minutes from Belton off of SH 36. The park is about half way of the lake. The park is very big with several different sections.

One section is has 8 screened in shelters that overlook the water. Access is limited with a coded gate.

Another section has 40 RV sites and another section has 28 RV sites that are also gated with limited access. Sandwiched in between the two RV sections is the Pier 36 Marina. The marina does have fuel ($2.29 a gallon) soft drinks and ice for sale. They do not sell beer.

The RV spots all have a large concrete level pads with an extra parking spot for a boat trailer or second car. Covered picnic tables and fire rings. Shade is limited and the sites are sort of close to each other. Some sites would be ideal for groups of RVers traveling together. We were expecting some water front sites and there are some water viewing sites. But with the lake level being low, the sites are not really on the water (nothing beats a constant level lake IMO).

There were very few empty sites and the park was pretty busy.

Pros
- Covered picnic areas
- Nice, new level large concrete pads with an extra parking space
- Limited access with reduced traffic
- Marina with ice and fuel
- Centrally located
- Two boat ramps

Cons
- Sites close together
- Lack of shade
