I recently attended a retreat here and was really blown away by the natural beauty, the friendliness and kindness of the staff, and especially by the deliciousness and quality of the food. Thanks to how accommodating Camp Cedat Ridge was towards dietary restrictions, I was even able to enjoy foods I haven't eaten in ages! I will absolutely be attending more events and retreats here in the future. Thank you Camp Cedar Ridge!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We held our wedding at Camp Cedar Ridge in October 2025, and had an incredibly positive experience. Kasey + team were great at communicating leading up to the wedding and helped us organize and plan all the big logistical items that needed to be planned. During the wedding Kasey + team were attentive, kind, helpful, and did everything they possibly could to make sure our day was as perfect as possible, including going above and beyond to run and grab us more liquor when we ran out. The venue is obviously beautiful and although we got rain, everything went exactly as it should have and we can only thank the team for that. The food served throughout the weekend was also excellent and we were very impressed! Nobody went hungry and they accommodated some dietary restrictions. We highly recommend Camp Cedar Ridge and working with Kasey if a summer camp wedding appeals to you! Thank you, Kasey!!

We hosted our 2 day, 3 night wedding there last September and they could not have been more hospitable. We chose a very DIY route with decor and setup and they were there to help when needed and trusting from a distance when we were doing our thing. The kitchen staff nailed all the dietary restrictions and the food was genuinely delicious at every meal. Kindness shown through in every aspect of the experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a magical place! I just attended a weekend Silent Retreat at Camp Cedar Ridge. So enjoyed the beautiful grounds- including cozy accommodations in the “House,” walks through the old growth forest, a candlelit labyrinth under a full moon, and delicious food, with offerings for all dietary preferences! The staff was warm and welcoming, especially the retreat’s Director, Dr. Kasey Wilson and her sweet, (non-allergenic) canine companion, Cocoa. I highly recommend this venue for a stay or to book an event!

My husband and I got married here in September and had the best weekend ever. It was so fun and cool to have our wedding party and families stay in the lodge and do our rehearsal dinner here, and so incredible to have the option for camping and cabins for other guests. They were super accommodating to our requests, easy to work with, and really helpful with suggestions throughout the weekend being wedding experts themselves. Our guests were really impressed with the food served all weekend, they were super accommodating with allergies and preferences. We planned a lot of activities for folks to do, but the camp itself had so much as well. While folks were waiting between events, they played basketball and tether all, or could just walk around the beautiful property and enjoy the woods. Our guests had so much fun they want us to come back and do it again next year, haha! I told them they can help pay for it next time. Do not skip the waterslide option. Thanks for everything.

They were super flexible with all the ways we wanted to personalize our weekend and were very accommodating. From the delicious food, to the clean, beautiful venue, and slip and slide at the end of the weekend - Camp Cedar Ridge exceeded our expectations in every way.
