Nice campsite with easy access to the amphitheater, though there wasn't a program of any kind the night I was there.

We were in site 39, which sits up against the road coming into the park. We didn't have too much road noise, but I can imagine during the summer and busy weekends how there might be noise and headlights shining on your site at night. It was convenient to the bathrooms, without being too close. The kids rode their bikes (our group of friends had ages 5-14) to the camp store and the older ones to the visitor center. Firewood and ice were pricey, just FYI, but convenient to pick up at the camp store. The kids had SO MUCH fun riding bikes and going on the cave tour.
The sites are close together, which for our purposes was Ok (we were tent camping with several friends and had pivoted from a group camp site on the NC border). I think site 38 might have had more privacy (there was an empty field across at least), but I think it might have backed up closer to the road (the road is not actually that close, but you can see headlights at night). We saw lots of deer in the campground and heard coyotes at night! Overall great experience, we would definitely come back and camp again.

This Campground is very close to the visitor center, and right behind the store, so an easy walk to the showers and laundry available at the store. Great location if you are going on one of the cave tours.

It’s annoying they allow generators to run all day. There’s a quiet time for them but who wants to listen to that all day while trying to enjoy nature.

Great campground, my only complaint is that generator usage needs to be cut down. I go camping for some peace and quite

Campground is beautiful. Bathrooms could use an update but it was nice that a National Park had showers and flush toilets. The ranger that led the historic cave tour was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, very nice.... do not remember her name.
