Campgrounds are well kept bathrooms are very clean, we used a pop-up camper, there were people coming in late in the evening after dark ,slaming doors and shining lights in our camper, they never got settled until after 11pm I felt that this was unnecessary.

Great camp site. The only issue was it was beside the street. Get one NOT right by the street. We got #26 and it was by the Green River Ferry Road. At night, lights be flashing by. But other than that, it's near the visitor center like a couple mins drive, has shower and bathroom, post office, and mini convenient store. Campsite that are nearest to the bathrooms are #14, 15, 38,37, 50 and 51 within our loop. We're here July24,2024. Mosquitos swirming us at trails even with repellent sprayed on us. Our thermacell product worked at our campsite. We placed on table and it did it's thing. Didn't get swirms of mosquitos. Woke up to beautiful sound of birds chirping and singing. Saw also a lot of deers passing by. Love the trees around the camp site.
Overall, great camp site. I would recommend the historic tour of the cave. Two hour walk with a few ducking, squeezing, sitting, learning and climbing up the stairs. Had a fun guide, too, with a great sense of humor. Made us laugh. We would have walked more trails, but we couldn't stand the mosquitos swirming at us esp nearing dusk.

It was quiet, shaded with a bathroom nearby. There are paid showers and supplies at the camp store. It was unfortunate that all the tours were booked up that we could do so sign up and plan ahead for those.

This is one of our favorite national park campgrounds. Site 45 is a corner outer loop site with lots of room. The campground sites overall have lots of space. Deer wander through the campground. THE BATHROOM IS AIR CONDITIONED! It’s also always been very clean whenever we visit. There are pay showers and a small laundromat at the camp store. Cell phone coverage is weak but there is wifi at the campground entrance kiosk and the camp store.

Great place to camp. We'll maintained bathrooms (showers are a bit pricey, but not horrible). Cave city is near by with anything and even you could want or need.

Too crowded, the groups taken down in the caves were too big. The 2nd tour i took i could not keep up with the tour guide bc others infront of me kept taking selfies. I missed almost all of the tour.
The camp site I stayed at the 1st night on site i was by the group that had 8 kids (under 7 yrs old) at it stayed up past 2200. There wasnt any staff there to assist.
Back country is NOT maintained/forgotten about because its less traveled. I tried staying in the back country the 2nd night. Road and trail not kept. Had to talk in a gully if there was a snake i would have gotten bitten, and way too narrow for horses. I did not bring a horse either almost too narrow for a person.
I go camping for the quite not all the noise. This is more like an amusement park. I was glad to leave early.

Close enough to walk to the visitor center. Clean bathrooms. Pay shower just long enough to wash hair.
