Cedar River Flow Campsite offers free, primitive camping with multiple sites featuring fire rings and picnic tables accessible by paddling or via Cedar River Road (12 miles from Indian Lake on a dirt road).

The main campground near Wakely Dam provides hand launch access for canoes and kayaks, with an 8-mile loop paddle available on the flow and additional paddle-up campsites scattered along the shoreline.

Note that sites are first-come, first-served with no potable water, privy toilets only, and minimal cell service; weekends and holidays typically fill quickly.
