Summary
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 have visited Cave Creek three times this summer and our experience each time has been amazing. The staff, especially Darlene worked with us extensively when we were trying to stay an extra couple of days to get us a site.
Thank you

Camp host is wonderful and very helpful. Loop A has beautiful deep woods yet is hilly and rocky. Many challenging sites to back into. Mine was short and tough to get into with a big drop off at the end and on one side and I only have a 17 ft trailer.
Cell reception was great. A beautiful area but I would like to see what the other two loops are like.
