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.
We had a fantastic family and friends camping trip… we all went and took a tour of the cave and bike trail… put our kayaks in at the boat ramp and took a stroll down the no-wake area and swam… the young adults took a stroll out to some cliffs and took a jump…I love the convenience of the clean bathhouses and fairly newly added single stall bathrooms. The park was kept clean and quiet. This is one of our favorite camp grounds to camp at.
We love this campground. In the main camping area, every camper enjoys a beautiful view. It was well kept. Clean bathrooms and hosts are very friendly.
Great family atmosphere. Excellent hospitality from Shirley the campground host. We are thankful for this place and to make many memories with our family.
The camp was very clean! It was a peaceful stay! The host were very friendly and made several trips around the sites to make sure everything was going well. Would highly recommend staying here!
Can’t say enough about this campground…so clean and enjoyable…..patrolled quite a bit often even though there is never any problems. Love the boat ramp
Love this campground, so peaceful and safe, reminds me of the old days when kids were able to enjoy riding bikes, skateboarding and basketball till dark with no fears🥰
Had a very good holiday weekend, the fireworks at the dam, the boat ramp here is amazing, kiddos riding bikes, skateboarding and playing games and basketball. Wonderful time!
