Like camping here, was very peaceful setting,park attendance very polite..Would like to see the sites A loop in first circle black topped like ones in bottom.And the main thing is the dump station should have a road to come around into parking lot by dumpster instead of having to go all the way back down hill to go out..

Campground is very well kept and restroom/shower facilities were clean and nice. The couple that runs the grounds are very helpful and very friendly.
Porgies Chow House and Little Dave’s aren’t too far and are great places to eat.

We absolutely loved camping at Cave Creek. We were close to the water and it is an easy dock to get our boat in and out of. Darlene and Rick were so nice to work with! Always a smile!

Cave Creek is a beautiful place to camp! The campsites are arranged nicely. The view is beautiful! I love that it is "pet friendly". Can't wait to go to Cave Creek again!

The campground host are some of the finest people you can come to know on your camping adventures. It is convenient to have a boat ramp within the campground. Facilities were clean and welcoming.
