Great camping experience. Most sites have abundant vegetation that provides privacy from neighbors. Fresh pavement so easy to get around. Many sites have steep approaches but are flat once you back in. About half the sites have electricity, the rest are primitive. RVers have to fill water tank prior to setting up on site. Hiking, fishing, swimming & boating are the main activities, other than enjoying camping. Facilities were old but clean. One quibble: shower temperature cannot be controlled and both loops we tried were too hot for July.

campground is great. The generator hours in my loop were a little to restrictive. Big issue is that the lake shore trail is not being maintained in F loop. Poison ivy is rampant. Its disappointing that this beautiful trail is being allowed to fall into disrepair. Its virtually unusable...Sad...

Despite the rain storms we had during our stay my family had an excellent time and the Lake wasn't as busy as it normally is during 4th of July Weekend.

It was our first visit to the campground. Loved this campground. Sites were large and wooded. Trail to the lake was well cut!!
Although no water on site, water was available throughout the loop. Our group will definitively be back!! Staff goes beyond to clean each site!, and it was evident. Each site was immaculate.

Nice campgrounds spaced out and with plenty of privacy due to heavy tree/wood coverage.

I love this campground. It has a lot of rules and restrictions, which typically make for a very peaceful Camping trip. However, this time there were a Group of campers that had numerous children between them and they ran around on electric bikes (which I have never seen here) up into the night after 10:00 pm quiet hour. As
Strict as it is, I was very shocked campground
Host(s) allowed this to happen. Plus I’m not sure either that electric bikes are a good idea in a campground
For safety reasons. I have kids and I like kids, but these were out of control. I have been camping at Cave Run for 46 years. It is my favorite. I hope this was just a one time
Event.
