Beautiful camping lots. Nice employees working at check in building with lots of information. The lady was very kind and professional. My only concern is that not many sites have both water and electric. Only maybe two sites in the whole campground have full service. I’m just so surprised because it is a beautiful campground in a gorgeous area.

Been going to Cave Run since it opened 45 years ago. One change is needed—nighttime security. Once the station at the entrance closes, there is no security beyond a 911 call. Had an incident at night that was concerning and would have felt much better with security instead of leaving and spending the last night in a hotel room before returning. I love the lake and the campground, but there’s got to be security at night. No issue with animals—this concern was with humans.

Fantastic facility. Grounds were very well kept. The bathrooms and showers were the best I have ever seen at a USFS campground in over 40 years of camping in them.

Sites were large, level and very private. 10 out of 10.

Twin Knobs is a great campground. Lots of shady, private campsites and clean, private bathhouses. This comment may be more about recreation.gov policies, but we were not able to book our preferred campsite (B-01) because it was listed as FF (first come-first serve). So we reserved another site we like (C-08) thinking that we would just switch when we arrived if B-01 was available. But when we arrived they would not allow us to switch. They said it is too confusing and the system can't handle changes in campsites. I don't understand the purpose of FF campsites. Why not allow all sites to be reserved on-line or allow someone to switch when they arrive at the campground?

The showers and restrooms need restoration. The beach needs more sand and a makeover. The showers at the beach need attention too.
