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 itβs stocked. Then the hot water at the bathhouse is constant. Lol the only reason why itβs 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 weβre learning that itβs best to reserve a head of time so we couldnβt stay longer than a few days since thatβs 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 youβre new to this.

Campsite was well prepared, leaves blown off well on and around pad area. Host were out and about throughout the day had anything come up that needed assistance. Nature trail and spillway access trail well maintained. Kids had lots of fun and want to come back next year.

Great campground. Nice access to a creek. Fun for the kids. Clean bathrooms, hot showers. Only downside was there was no soap in the bathrooms. Would definitely return.
