    Cave Creek Campground - Site 51... with my back to the water

    I absolutely fell in love with this campground. The minute that we pulled up to the checkin…read morebooth/building, we met Darlene and Rick, the super nice camp hosts. Somehow we were missing our water hose and Rick offered to loan us his to fill up our tank AND he offered to pick one up at WalMart that night (we gave him money, of course). If you follow my camping adventures, you know that I'm not usually fond of camp hosts. Seriously, I've run into a few doozies in my days. We arrived on a Saturday in May and the RV sites with hookups were full, but we scored a spacious primitive site big enough for our RV AND truck. The primitive sites are was somewhat wooded and private, but the spots on both sides of us were empty, which gave an illusion that it was somewhat private. We loved this campground and the lake so much, we stayed an extra night and all day the next day, Monday. Our neighbor said that the hosts are lenient on weekdays unless someone has the site booked, they don't mind if we check out later. This time, on Sunday, people were checking out and there were plenty of sites available with water and electric hookups. We had a phenomenal site this time, #51 but #52 was better. Also, the campground favorite is apparently #60, but I wouldn't recommend it due to the location being in the path of the boats and trucks using the ramp. Both 51 and 52 were paved black top, which made the rain aftermath not that bad either. THE LAKE!!! I fell in love with Rough River Lake. That's right, move over Nolin River Lake, this holds my title this year. I did hate that you can't swim near the dock... or anywhere around the campground. There's plenty of spots that would be accessible, but there are signs specifically posted 'NO SWIMMING'. The state park is pretty close by though and there is a beach there, if you must get your swim on. Otherwise, fishing is the water activity going on at this campground. There isn't hardly anything close, so come stocked up. The state park lodge has a restaurant and there is a restaurant called 'The Dam', but I wouldn't recommend either one. Robby's Quick Stop about five miles away with basic items in addition to fishing bait. It's about a two hour drive from Lexington, well worth every minutes worth of commute.

    We came here for Memorial Day weekend to tent camp (keep in mind coronavirus stay-at-home orders…read morewere recently/just lifted for recreational purposes). Friends (and their two dogs) and I came camping here for 2 nights/3 days. It was incredibly humid, but there was adequate shading from trees in the camping spot that we were lucky enough to secure. We went with electric to also accommodate the longer weekend and allow us to use fans in our tents. Our campsite was perfect, to be entirely honest. It was nicely located within walking distance to the restrooms. The restrooms were cleaned thoroughly each day/night with lots of bleach (which was great considering COVID 19 was still around). The showers were all very clean, but I'll add that one thing that should be addressed was the sagging in the flooring so one of the toilet stalls had tons of water setting in it - not the most sanitary. There is a nice camp store for your random needs, including firewood that was moderately priced. One batch was not dried out at all, the other was perfectly dried out. Our luck had it that our car battery died as we packed up and loaded everyone/thing in the car. Our neighbors were all gone so we went to the campstore where they sent someone, reluctantly at first, to help us jump our car and get us going. The DNR ranger was extremely helpful and nice. Would highly recommend this campsite, especially if you're going for the lake. I wouldn't recommend the trails for hiking (we ended up having to pull around 50-60 ticks off of us and the dogs...yikes, mostly due to lack of signage on the trails).

    We stayed here for the fall festival where everyone decorates their campsite and the trick r'…read moretreaters come for treats around the campground. If your here at this time bring LOTS of candy, we went through 17 pounds in one hour giving out 1 candy bar per child. There are hundreds of truck r' treaters. This is a very nice campground- we stayed in site #243 which was very small. Our site had a pretty good sized tree that was situated next to the1 camper, which we didn't like. We did like that it had woods behind us with privacy- except for the skunk that came by and visited us every night, praying it didn't spray anything. The campground had good showers except for having to push the button 20 times to keep the water running and don't forget to twist the knob to make the water hotter or cooler- my husband didn't know it was adjustable and he ended up taking a cold shower- It is all paved sites. They do have handicapped sites as well. Fire rings at every campsite. They have a camp store-its not very big but it was stocked with candies, drink items. The frisbee golf is quite the adventure- the course starts out good and wide and flat then it is up in the woods. Very hard to walk up hills and keeping your frisbee on the course is a challenge. My son feared of snakes-it is along the creek. I couldn't do this course but my son did and told me all about it. Very steep hills-

They really should weed eat the weeds and improve the view. No cell service at all with Verizon. No WiFi available. No bathrooms or showers but full hookups. Laundry was a small shed and it was very hot in that shed. It was 4th of July weekend and the boat ramp was next to our site. Very busy. It's quiet once the boat crowed left. We left early due to no cell service and bad weather approaching. Starlink is a must if you stay here.

The owners/hosts are very friendly. There is a nice dock to sit on or fish off of down by the boat ramp. There is also a basketball goal and playset that the kids in the campground enjoyed. We happened to be there on there Halloween celebration weekend. They had trick or treating and a chili cookoff as well as a site decorating contest. They also had some very nice prizes for the winners! They also had live music. There is no wifi or antenna signal. If you have good wifi on your phone, you may be able to get a low signal depending on your carrier. The town is very small and we did eat at the Overlook restaurant, which was very good but a little on the pricey side. Overall a very pleasant weekend!
