We discovered Cedar Hills several years ago, and have been coming back 1-3 times a year since then. It’s a fun place with a sense of community that you don’t see everywhere. Dennis, the host, is a friendly guy that checks on his guests, and even delivers ice when he sees you at your site. The amenities are more basic, but Sauk City is just a few minutes away, so it’s easy to pop into town if you forget to bring anything, or want to eat at a restaurant. Cedar Hills is a great home base for exploring the area. There are many great hiking options to explore nearby. Pewits Nest, Ferry Bluff, Gibraltar Rock, Parfery’s Glen, are easy afternoon trips to take from the campground. You can rent tubes on the river in town, or bike along the river on a paved bike trail. Devil’s Lake and Mirror Lake State Parks are also convenient to get to for hiking or kayaking. You might also like to check out Dr Evermor’s sculpture park while in the area.
As mentioned in many other reviews, the bugs can be bad at times. It’s just hit or miss depending on how wet it’s been I think. We bring yard type spray for the site perimeter and regular spray for our bodies. The trails at the campground have always been too buggy for me, and watch out for poison ivy.
