Very clean facilities. Huge campsites. Friendly staff. Only gripe is the poorly maintained roads and the insanely high speed bumps

This is a very clean campground. The hosts do a wonderful job of keeping the bath houses spotless, which is definitely not the norm at some places!

Hosts were very friendly, guests were very quiet. We even heard a bobcat the night we were there!

Friendly campground host checked in with us and gave us a heads up about snake and bear. One snake, zero bear. Great spot right off the road. Also, please walk down and see the natural bridge. It's better than I thought.

One of the most pristine campsites I’ve ever been to.
So peaceful and most of the sites right beside a rushing stream which sounded so beautiful all day and night.
The trees are old growth and the canopy is amazing.
I really enjoyed swimming in the icy cold lake because I love swimming and icy cold water! Lol

This trip was not the experience I have normally had at this campground. Had a confrontation with a very disrepectful volunteer host. One bad egg in the bunch Totally Ruined the trip for me. Normally the Campground has excellent volunteers, the bath house is extremely clean. Sies are nice, going on second season with NO bathhouse at the Lake... not a good thing. Near Natural Bridge State Park.

We loved our experience at Cave Mountain Campgrounds. The volunteer hosts were so friendly and helpful. We loved the creek that ran behind our campsite. I never like to visit a campground more than once, but this is one I'd camp at again. It was a peaceful few days. Bonus: a beautiful lake with swimming and fishing and hiking trails.

We had a grand time. The bathroom was spotless everyday and the hosts were great. The campground was beautiful with nice sized sites that gave a lot of privacy. The lake is small but very clean and we loved watching the children play in the water. I will go back to this campground.
