My family and I have been all across the country in our RV and have stayed in so many places and this one beats them all! It was relaxing and set in nature, but we still had plenty of fun things to see and do within walking distance! Experiencing the park is a must! We’ve never been anywhere like it! We also went to some of the nearby spots they recommended and had a blast! We made our favorite memories here and cannot wait to come back!

Live tHe Full Adventure

Our campers love being at a destination with so much more than just a place to rest and restore. They enjoy being a short walk from a park where they can exploring and have fun! Visit our ticket page now and find which adventure you and yours will want to take.

 
Yes, here is our campground map

There is no charge to your card that is put on file at the time of reservation unless you cancel within 24 hours of your check-in time, or do not notify us of your reservation change. The non-refundable charge is a one night stay.
Yes, we have electricity (30 or 50 amp sites), sewer and water connections.
At times we have availability for longer stays and would love to host you. Our weekly rate is the longest stay rate available.
Guest registration is inside the park in large building near the flags and splash pad. Any Retail Host can assist you, either ticketing or at the Cave Cafe in the gift shop.
You are welcome to arrive after the park closes. We do not have a gate to the campground area so that late arrivals/early departures are easily facilitated.
You can pay the next day or by phone with us.
It may seem that others are available, yet other guest may have a late arrival or arriving during your stay for the site you would like to move into. It is important that you only move if you are rebooked by a Retail Host in the gift shop.
We would love to have you stay longer if it's available. It is crucial that you check with a Retail Host in the gift shop/Cave Cafe before staying additional nights as your site location may need to change or we could have no vacancies.
Yes, we welcome your furry friend in the RV. We ask that when you take them out for a walk they must be on leash and you are responsible for cleaning up after them. If they create a noise complaint, we will be required to follow local noise ordinance rules and request for the animal to leave. Also, if you choose to go on tour during your stay, we ask that you either leave them with a guardian or that you carry them throughout the tour to ensure they don't go to the bathroom in the cave. Some of the minerals in our cave could be damaged if acidity came into contact with them, so we require this for the preservation of our Caverns environment.
Our shower and restrooms are in a building in the campground, centrally located for our RV guests. For our primitive campsites guests our showers are a 500 foot walk and we have closer located bathrooms that are approximately a 400 foot walk.
Yes, dogs are allowed in the park as long as they remain on a leash. Inside the cave we only allow pets if you are capable of holding them throughout the tour. People who bring their pets are responsible for cleaning up their pet's waste. People with pets also will be held responsible for any damage their pet creates. Because of the indoor-outdoors nature of a cave, we cannot have any animals using the restroom inside the caverns, so they must be small enough to be held through the entirety of the tour.
There is a laundromat in Childersburg, less than five minutes down the road.
You can build a camp fire at your site.
We do not have wood available to purchase so it would be best if you bring it with you.
