Bear Cave RV Campground

Saw the «Bear Cave» sign five miles down the road and decided to continue our exploring. I’m not a ‘caver’ but what the heck. why not. The cave itself is kinda lame. You actually enter the thing from the gift shop. Odd. The cave itself only takes about three minutes to see and the most interesting thing down there seemed to be the natural spring. Not my bag but others might like it.

I’ve been back twice now and LOVE this place. We love the wooded area and the trails. The pool is repaired (not the spa yet) and it was even a warm! Our neighbors were nice and friendly and we met some new people. The new manager is trying to get the place up to stuff. We think he was handed a mess from the previous manager but that’s a personal opinion. As I mentioned, the pool has been repaired, 3 buildings had new shingles put on yesterday and the dock has been replaced. The manager Neal talked to my husband and said he «hopes» to have the road going back into the campground paved next year but right now that’s a dream. The weekend of the Red Bud with so many campers there they had a country band in the pavilion. They plan on doing that on holiday weekends. Last night they set up a movie out in the open field for the kids. I can’t wait to return!!!

Pretty disappointed. Arrived to find that camp sites are not reserved so we had to drive around and around looking for a decent spot. Pool was suppose to open at 9am but no one had a key to open it til after 10. Buildings are old and musty. Don’t depend on the camp store for much more than ice.

Our second time back in this area. We love this campground. It’s clean, well maintained and the staff are very friendly. We have been full timing for 12 years now. Have been to many parks all over the U.S., Canada and Mexico. No real favorite parks, but this one is right at the top of the list because it’s well maintained and there is so much to do in the surrounding areas. Yeah, your going to have the rowdy people or pools that are in need of repair or bathrooms that are dirty but one has to look at the overall picture. These problems are usually fixed fairly quick. Overall we really like this park.

This review is based on my one night stay this past weekend (June 21) we had several campsites around us that were in the same party, and they partied like it was 1999! I’m not joking, there were 10+ guys and gals in their early 20’S, up all night drinking, yelling, throwing bottles and setting off their car alarm all night. We called the main number of the campground at 12:00am, 1:20am and 1:50am about the group. We got a voicemail machine every time. I think the majority of them went to bed at 4:30, I know this because I was awake and lying in my car. I was able to get a little quiet time in there instead of my tent. Once we got up at 8:30am on Sunday, we went to the bathroom, MANY ppl were talking about this same group and not getting any sleep. The young man that works there did apologize to us and said he was on call that night but he doesn’t know what happen because his work phone never rang. Sorry, I don’t believe him.
