Force of Nature

It’s never too early to plan, or take, your next vacation. If you are looking for a relaxing, back-to-nature retreat close to home, the new Kings Island Camp Cedar is a great destination.

Even before Kings Island officially opens April 16, cottages and campsites are open now for overnight stays, making Camp Cedar a great getaway for families enjoying spring break or a long weekend together.

If you’re looking for a casual bite or a sweet treat, the resort’s Belize Street offers a fresh take on urban dining with food truck-influenced favorites. Fresh Tortilla has tacos and burritos, while Route 66 features classic American favorites such as burgers, hotdogs, fries and more. For those with a sweet tooth, the Urban Cow is a popular spot for soft-serve and hand-dipped ice cream, along with midway standards such as elephant ears, funnel cakes and cotton candy.

Camp Cedar has activities for all ages. In warmer weather, kids can enjoy one of Camp Cedar’s two pools. Families can test their skills with shuffleboard and bocce courts, or work out in the fitness area. Also, gas-powered golf carts are available, so the whole family can tour the grounds. Weekends will have special programming, so one one can ever say they’re bored!

A range of cottage options complement the outdoor lifestyle with a modern-day glamping experience. Each cottage features a private bedroom with luxe linens, lounge area, kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning and heating units, patios with picnic tables, and even housekeeping service upon request.

Going to Camp Cedar is like going on vacation without the hassle of travel. With activities to keep everyone entertained and amenities like outdoor fire pits, it’s a great getaway for rest and relaxation. Camp Cedar’s 53 acres to explore, there’s lots to do, and once Kings Island opens, guests get early admission to the park. It’s a great way to celebrate spring, right in your own back yard.
