The amenities on site are not all that nice. The shower was the part that was the worst. The floor drain didn’t drain and it was a cold shower. Wouldn’t be bad in the summer time but not on a cold rainy day.
The campground is beautiful, and there are many things to do nearby. Nice place to stay, just wish the amenities were nicer.

No wifi/cell service which is fine. Clean spacious sites with nice campfire area. Restrooms and showers were nice and warm. Electric in bathroom to dry hair if needed staff very friendly. Camping beside the creek was relaxing

We love this place! So peaceful and quiet! And the camp hosts are super nice. Only objection we have is why they don't install a bathroom on the side of Sites 3-16. It's a long walk to get around to the one bathroom.

Very nice little campground. With campsites right along the creek. Love the fact that you can swim in the lake and paddle board. Fishing is good when it’s stocked. Then the hot water at the bathhouse is constant. Lol the only reason why it’s getting four stars is they just have one bathhouse for the camp. And the lake is a little bit of a walk from the campsite.

Being from Kansas and new to the camping world my wife and I have been skeptical about camping grounds. We absolutely loved our time at Cave Mountain Lake. We were very impressed with the bathrooms and facilities. We stayed at lot 35 which seems to be the furthest away from all other sites and we could not have picked a better space. Unfortunately we’re learning that it’s best to reserve a head of time so we couldn’t stay longer than a few days since that’s all the availability they had but we plan to go back. Les (one of the campground volunteers) was very nice and informative. Highly recommend this place especially if you’re new to this.
