Summary

Cave Mountain Lake Family Camp offers a beautiful, tranquil setting with clean facilities, spacious campsites, and friendly hosts. The campground features well-maintained restrooms and showers, a nice swimming area, and easy access to hiking trails. While there is no cell service or camp store, the overall experience is highly praised, making it a favorite destination for families.
We arrived without a reservation, and were told that we must have one to camp there. We do not have a smart phone, but our hosts (husband and wife) helped us to contact reservations.gov. This process took about one half hour of our hosts' (and our) time, but at least we were able to stay.
We would like to register our dislike of what seems to be the new way of registration for a campsite. We do not always know how far we can travel, or what the weather will be like when we arrive at a campground. The old way of registering for a site seemed to work well for us, and seems to follow the thinking "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Sincerely,
Janet Slough
Wonderful rustic campground. Space between sites, wooded shady sites. Safe swimming area. Although there are no hookups, this is my go to, at least once a month.
We really liked this campsite. The group site had plenty of room for three separate tents, including an 18 x 10. There’s a bathroom very close by which was great for the kids. We had tons of privacy from the other sites. We will come back here again.
One of my favorite places. Just perfect- perfect size, layout. Very well maintained- even under current strained resources. Person who checked us in was so helpful. Campground host assisted us with charging a dead car battery.
