Campground Overview
Seated in the northwest corner of the park, Cedar Grove is popular for both recreation and camping. In summer, thousands of people swim or float on the Current River. Further upstream, visitors can also enjoy blue ribbon fishing. Finally, a nearby hiking trail connects to the historic Susie Nichols Cabin. This location sees year-round visitation. In warmer months, the cool river helps visitors beat the heat. In fall and winter, the southern sun keeps campers warm.
