We just returned from this park. Many activities--caving, horseback riding, trails, mini-golf. Be prepared with extra hose and electric extensions because the water/electric is strange at best! And they do not sell these things at the camp store. We reserved a full hook up site, only to be very disappointed that the sewer hole was at the street-well my tank is at the back of my camper (like most). So we just dumped when we left. I complained to the store employee and her response was that it was new and that trees and roots dictated where the sewer holes were. Another thing that kept happening was we kept tripping the electric box, at least 7 times for no reason. Then one night the transformer above the mini-golf blew and out went the power! To my total surprise, the park workers had it fixed in 90 minutes! I was expecting no power for at least 24 hours. Go to Grayson for groceries, only 10 miles away. The park itself is gorgeous with many wonderful trails. The folks at the campground were all nice and polite. Make sure to pick up the weekly schedule on Sundays, many things to do for free. Very nice experience and we will go back. We ate a very good buffet at the lodge. Be aware of the sharp left turn uphill to get into the park. We were very surprised that there is NO signage warning you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually visited in July 2008, but option not given above. Many of the things listed by others is correct with regard to the campground. It is tricky navigating the roads, especially the tight turn at the bottom, but nothing to make you avoid this place. Many of the sites are right on top of each other, but it appeared that most were the inside/interior ones. We had site #8 and it was great. Most along that side and up into the 30s are pretty nice. I also agree that the utilities seems to be placed strangely. We had to run our electric under the motor home and across the middle of the site. There is nothing spectacular about the rest rooms, but heck, we're used to state parks, etc. The park itself is very large. I would suggest that you have a means of transportation. At a minimum I would suggest good bikes and be in shape! One of the better caves is Cascade Cave and it is far from the campground. You will need to drive to it. Even with the negative aspects, overall the park is nice. The cave tours are great. Each is different. One evening they had ghost stories inside the entrance to Cascade cave. The kids loved it. The area with of the Natural Bridge is beautiful. We didn't get to see everything and would stay again We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is in the middle of nowhere. There is marginal cell phone service and we had to use a antenna and booster to use our air card. It is an older campground and the bath houses show that. They recently put in some sewer hookups for some of the sites. Pull through sites were extremely unlevel. Hook ups arre in wierd locations. They were on the opposite side for us so bring extra hoses and cords and we had vewry little water pressure. Campground is located in a "dry" county and stores of any size are a minimum of 1o miles. The road into the campground is a shocker for people who have never been there before. You must make a sharp left hand turn and then go up a very steep hill. Better have a good tow vehicle if you have a big rig to get up this hill. It is actually easier to get out than in. We probably would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was disappointed in Carter Caves campground. The area around the campground is very pretty but the campground is older and very crowded. There are several sites that practically share the same firepit area. It appears to me that they crammed as many sites into the campground as they could and didn't take site size or privacy into consideration. We visited on a very busy summer weekend and the pool was so crowded that it was unbearable. It seemed like everywhere you went in the park, you felt claustrophobic. I'm crossing this park off of my list - way too many other nicer parks around to visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were disappointed with our stay here but, on reflection, perhaps the rave reviews made us expect too much. We camped here on a busy September weekend and had a lovely site. However, we felt crowded - almost claustrophobic - in a way that we had never experienced in other busy campgrounds. The park certainly is very beautiful with lots of trails easily accessed from the campground. The trail we enjoyed best was Box Canyon Trail which starts at the Cascade Cave parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved, loved, loved this campground! There is so much to do and see just in the park. We stayed on site 55a, which was the only undeveloped site in the park , but we would stay at it again just because it is more private. We toured the caves, hiked, swam in their beautiful pool, 3 in total, played tennis, and did some horseback riding. We had a wonderful time here and would highly recommend it. The area is beautiful too! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Carefully select your site, and try to avoid the un-shaded "infield". The sites around the edges were much nicer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first time in the state of Kentucky. I would recommended this State Park campground. It was very family oriented. Pool available (extra charge) with diving board within walking distance of the campground, 18-hole golf course as well as a mini golf near the campground, horseback riding, tennis, lake - boating, cave tours and more. We only over nighted here so it was hard to do everything. After the pool we walked to the park lodge on a surpassing path with a natural bridge, one of the highlights for my husband and son. There was even a nice restaurant in the lodge. Spacious and shaded sites. I would definitely go back to just relax a few days and there is plenty to do if you like to stay active. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice and quiet shaded campground that is good for children and adults. It is peaceful and not overly crowded. Several pull throughs available. The restrooms were relatively clean. There are activities there such as a playground, mini golf, cave exploring, and canoeing. Nice place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Carter Caves is our favorite of the campgrounds in our local area. We stayed there during the annual Halloween Weekend. Though the weather was bad, the festivities were not spoiled! The staff are wonderful there and they went all out to make everyone's weekend packed with fun. The restrooms are clean despite the large volume of use. The park is absolutely beautiful! Everything is within walking distance of the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a beautiful campground in the Eastern part of Kentucky, just off of 64, near Grayson. Most of the sites were spacious and shaded and the campground layout was accommodating to even the largest RVs. Since it was the last weekend of the year, it was rather crowded. The back loops are a little tight, but worth the effort because they back up to the woods, which was very pretty. There are several things to do in the area. Top of the list are the caves themselves. Get an early start and your tour won't be hurried, noisy or crowded. We had an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and even showed us two different species of bats that were hibernating in the caves!! Cool beyond belief for a teenager. Note: The smaller bat cave across from the gift shop and ticket area is closed during the winter, but not to be missed is the trail behind the gift shop leading to a huge natural bridge. WOW!! In fact, if you love to hike there are several challenging, beautiful trails at this park. The resort was slammed that weekend, but they do have a golf course and a nice sized pool. The only blot on an otherwise beautiful locale was the Haunted Trail, which is run by the park every Halloween and which ran all weekend, from 7pm to 11pm. This Haunted Trail was RIGHT across from the campground. Blaring music and spooky noises could be heard for most of the night. After a while it became downright funny, but I would definitely come back to this lovely campground on any other weekend than All Hallows. The foliage was absolutely gorgeous.
