The campground is well-maintained, featuring clean restrooms and a friendly staff, with enjoyable activities like gemstone sifting and fishing.

Spook Cave was an incredible experience! The boat tour through the caverns is a must-do, and our guide, Wyatt, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole trip memorable. Highly recommended!

Our camping spot was in a nice location, right next to the stream. Our caming spot was just grass no pad, other spots did have pads. We loved the location, except the trains. There is a crossing outside the grounds, so you hear train horns throughout the night.

We had a fun time during the cave tour, sifting gemstones, and fishing! Matt was an amazing tour guy through the cave, very educational and entertaining!

Very well kept campground. Restrooms were clean, staff was friendly, souvenir shop offers tons of options.. BUT, our cave tour was an iffy experience for me. Our tour guide was a younger teenage girl and it showed. She talked about her teenage DRAMA the ENTIRE tour. Sharing stories that are better kept in your personal circle. It was hard to enjoy the experience and actually tune in to what she was saying. I wanted to tune out the drama but wanted to tune into the facts about the cave. Just very annoying honestly.
Also had the same experience in the gift shop. A girl in the deli area talking VERY loudly about her personal boy drama.
I understand it may be a fun summer job for these teenagers and I want them to have that full, fun camp experience but there is a time and place to be a silly teen and a time and place to be a professional.
I enjoyed my time overall and will recommend Spook Cave to anyone looking for a getaway.
(Also a train runs right through the tent camping right by the lake. Only went though 1 time while we were there)

We had a great time.. our guide was Izzy and she did an amazing job.. our boat was full so she got out and pulled us along on the tour.. if you visit the cave you'd be lucky to have Izzy as your guide she's awesome
