Clean, friendly and totally awesome RV park! Easy pull through and morning trash pick-up at the end of our site was nice. One of the amenities that sets it apart from other parks is the beautiful spacious fenced dog park; there is even a gazebo with chairs to enjoy watching our dog explore the tree-lined, grassy enclosure. We experienced a true southern welcome from Rosie in the office! She was... Clean, friendly and totally awesome RV park! Easy pull through and morning trash pick-up at the end of our site was nice. One of the amenities that sets it apart from other parks is the beautiful spacious fenced dog park; there is even a gazebo with chairs to enjoy watching our dog explore the tree-lined, grassy enclosure. We experienced a true southern welcome from Rosie in the office! She was the deciding factor for choosing this location when we called from Montgomery, AL looking for an overnight stop on our way back to northern MI. Because of our exceptionally positive experience we plan to return this summer with our grandson and explore the fun activities in the area. Also, we’ll bring our bicycles because this RV park has biking & walking trails, too!

We have stayed here several times. Always clean and the staff are super friendly. We recently purchased a new RV near by and Cave Country was open all winter so we decided to stay with them again. We had full hookups so we tested out all the new rv systems. Cable is off during the winter months but that was ok. We were able to pick up some local news stations with our antenna.

We recently purchased a new RV near by and Cave Country was open all winter so we decided to stay with them again. We had full hookups so we tested out all the new rv systems. Cable is off during the winter months but that was ok. We were able to pick up some local news stations with our antenna. Easy access and they have a fantastic dog walk area. We travel with our dog who requires lots of exercise. It was a bit too cold for pickleball (we break too many balls when it is cold), but they have 2 beautiful pickleball courts. Cave Country is located within walking distance of restaurants; so we didn't need to unhook our rig to get something to eat. There are lots of things to do within a 20 to 30 minute drive. I would highly recommend staying with Cave Country because long pull through sites, level and VERY reasonable prices compared to some other RV parks in the area. We have a 40' 5th wheel.

This is a great park, located just off I-65. Long, level sites and a great dog park make it an even better stay. We stayed for 4 nights, while passing through the area. It's a quick drive to Mammoth Cave NP. They also offer nightly/weekly rates far less than other parks. We stayed in November so the pool was closed for the season, and didn't play pickleball, but the courts are very nice. We'll... This is a great park, located just off I-65.

There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the campground. A beautiful walking/bike trail, local attractions, a swimming pool and pickleball court. They have big pull through sites with cable and FHU! They come through daily and pick up the trash.

These five star reviews don’t lie. The owners are very active at this RV park and do a fantastic job. However, I would have to say that the two women who actually “run the place“ are the best! Not taking anything away from the owners, but to have a team like this makes an RV campground truly special.

The owners are very active at this RV park and do a fantastic job. However, I would have to say that the two women who actually “run the place“ are the best! Not taking anything away from the owners, but to have a team like this makes an RV campground truly special. We booked about a week here and then ended up booking a second week shortly after because we enjoyed it so much. We even invited other family members to come join us. Grounds are beautifully kept. Pickle ball court is like new. Extremely good access to lots of caving and hiking. Great dog park. They even pick up your trash for you every day and refill your propane tanks for you. Amazing!
