What Guests Are Saying
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.

The Camp Host are extremely polite and helpful. The campground is very well maintained and is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. This is my go to campground when I am TDY at Ft. Knox for Cadet Summer ROTC training from May to Aug.

We stayed on site 18, this site is in EXTREME need of pea gravel. Even a small rain shower can turn this site into a mud pit. Please.... put some gravel on this site. Besides the MUDDY mess we absolutely LOVE CAVE CREEK campground and the wonderful people that work there!
