Summary
AI generated
Cave Creek campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly hosts, and great amenities, including well-maintained bathhouses and a convenient boat ramp. Many visitors express a strong connection to the site, enjoying its peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to make lasting memories with family and friends. However, there is concern about the campground's potential closure and limited operating months, which has disappointed regular campers who cherish the experience.
This is the worst COE I have stayed at we had a pull through in the new loop it was so small you had to go all around the camper to get to the door The bathroom situation was horrible only one for the whole camp ground You had to wait in line for 15 minutes on the weekend and there was mold behind the handles and the water faucets It needed a good cleaningThe roads are to small ,trees right next to the road almost could not make the bad curves to get out One I will not go back to Site A 7 for 5 days
I loved the park but it is lacking in maintaining the park. I picked up hundreds of cigarette butts and the fire pit needed to be cleaned out. I left our site much better than when I got there. The response from the Project Manager Diane Stratton was a poor excuse for contractors that are paid to clean the sites and keep the park clean.
Very well cared for, and such a beautiful campground. Clean bathrooms, plenty of space between sites, and a great spot to launch a kayak! The trails were really awesome too.
Definitely will be going back. Rick and Darlene are so kind and take such great care of the place.
