Site 30 was perfect! Right next to a creek and it held two large tents with plenty of room to spare. Going to the lake in the Fall was beautiful! Everyone was friendly. Bathroom and showers were the best I been to so far. (First year Camping) Will go back in a heartbeat! Looking forward to the spring already!

I had a great camping experience at Cave mountain lake campground. Large campsites in an incredible setting. A very nice stream ran through the campground.
The bathrooms were large and well lighted. And they were immaculate! Hot, hot showers in a nice, clean private shower room.
Easy access to Natural Bridge, several small towns and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
There were lots of places to buy camp firewood at a very reasonable price.
The campground hosts were friendly and respected your privacy.
I would definitely camp here again. I highly recommend cave mountain lake campground.

This is a great campground. Had all the amenities I needed for the purpose intended. Clean washroom, private showers. Very near Natural Bridge, Virginia. I'd like to see more of these!

This was a wonderful campground. The site I stayed at felt completely secluded, even tho it was in the middle of the camp. The restrooms were spotless. The lake was so nice for an evening swim. I even had a doe walk through my campsite. I will definitely stay here again.
