Nestled at 7,000 feet in the majestic San Bernardino Mountains is Cedar Lake Camp, 270 acre year round retreat center considered by many to be one of the most beautiful camps in Southern California. Surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest with a private lake, the camp has many amenities for groups of 35 or more in a captivating mountain setting.

This “Heaven on Earth” getaway is a two to three hour drive from Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties and just five minutes away from Big Bear Lake and Big Bear Village, with its shops, restaurants and activities for all seasons.

The powerful lure of Cedar Lake Camp brought the movie industry, which began filming here in the mid-1930s. Stars such as Ed Asner, Henry Fonda, Hayley Mills, Elvis Presley, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John Wayne have all starred in and/or produced films on the premises. Television shows such as “Bonanza” “FBI Story” and “Hart to Hart” were also filmed here at Cedar Lake Camp.

We invite your group to call or email us for reservations. There are various lodging options and we schedule on a first come first served basis. So, contact us now to arrange your stay at Cedar Lake Camp.
