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.

Loved it! We will be back. Darlene was a terrific host. Small downsides this trip were too-low water pressure and a lot of cigarette butts from an inconsiderate previous camper. See you next season!

Loved the campground, on arrival the campground road is a little narrow and winding, not a big issue, but it was covered with leaves, made it a little difficult to follow . Beautiful ,peaceful, camp sites spaced well , facilities were clean. Everything was nice, we’ll definitely come again.
