We had a super cave tour led by Kayla. Very informative and fun. The pool was being filled constantly during our stay which we found fascinating. It’s filled from water deep in the caves! Pool will be open Memorial Day, probably gets busy then.
We loved our stay. Which is surprising considering the reviews. Trails weren’t the best marked, but we managed. They were short but interesting. We would be back for sure!
Washrooms were dated but clean. Staff were very proud and wanted us to have a good stay. Which we did.
Our only noise issue was all the wonderful birds singing loudly at 5am!

Extremely small campground. Pool and playground take me back to my childhood in the 70s. If you have a tall &/or long rig, do not bother booking here. The road in has such low electric wires that our 13' 5th wheel actually caught one of the wires. Thank God it didn't truly stick or it would have been a catastrophe. The road in the other direction is barely any better. Not sure why the electric company hasn't been called out.
The sites are truly jam-packed and really short. If you have an under 30' rig you are probably fine. Our 42' one was really testing the limits.
Honestly, it's not a bad campground but it's not for larger rigs. Or for anyone who loves privacy.

I'm and beyond angry at this point. These campsites are TINY, about 12 feet wide with NO buffer between you and the next site.

I'm and beyond angry at this point. These campsites are TINY, about 12 feet wide with NO buffer between you and the next site. If that wasnt bad enough (and it is) they don't enforce their own rules about how many vehicles, people, tents are at each of these miniscule sites. Last night the site 2 feet to my left had at least 6 vehicles and 15 people overflowing their site with one of those vehicles parked smack dab in the middle of the road so I could not get to my campsite until someone FINALLLY came out and moved it. Today the people to my right have set uptheir tents on my site because they did not have enough room for all their crap and vehicles on their site and they've been blaring a football game on the radio one foot from my trailer all night. Complained to the office and they do nothing. Please don't be as stupid as me and stay here unless parking your trailer in a parking slot in the middle of a huge tailgate party is your idea of camping.

We visited during the “Wonderland under Warrior” with Christmas lights in the caverns. Beautiful & kids loved it. Trails, playground & picnic areas are all nearby cave entrance.

Arrival and check in was easy and painless. Rate was $25.50 with senior discount. It is a large state park but a small campground 13 rv sites that accommodate large to small rvs. Our site was #6 and it was ginormous! Space between sites was about average. Bathrooms were generally clean, campground type bathrooms with showers. Lots of water pressure and hot water in showers. I'm sure in the summer it's much busier with families coming for the caverns and the swimming pool. In October, the pool is empty. It was very quiet. All the staff we met was wonderful - friendly and helpful. If you come here, the caverns are really worth seeing - you get a $5 discount per adult if you stay in the campground. If we were in the area again, I would absolutely come back and spend more time here. The grounds are beautiful and well kept with walking trails.

It was a great weekend getaway with the family. Bath houses were clean. There is a gift shop that has some snacks. Dollar general is 10 minutes away if you forget anything. We were given a gate code to get in/out after hours. Sites had 20/30/50 amp service and water. No sewer hookup. We would come back.

This is a very small campground - 13 improved sites (nine of these have 50 amp electric and can accommodate all sizes of rigs; four are designed for smaller units and have 30 amp electric) plus five primitive sites, which have communal water only (no electric). There is zero privacy/separation between the improved sites, which would make the unimproved sites possibly more appealing (but further from the restroom and it was pouring when we were there). Improved sites are gravel and include a BBQ, fire ring, and a very large picnic table. Rates are $16 for a primitive site/$29 for an improved site plus a $4.75 processing fee for the first night of your stay. Senior discounts are given.
The restrooms are functional and clean but basic. There was a leak in the roof from the pouring rain that could pose a slipping hazard.
There are a large picnic pavilion and two short hiking trails of about a mile each. We hiked the Fossil Mountain trail, which is very rocky. The main draw to this park is the cave. Tours are offered four times daily, January through November. If you camp, you receive a discount on the tour. The tour is worth doing.

Pretty quiet mid November at this small State Park. Around 15 water/electric sites, mostly level, and can fit any size rig as long as the park is not full. There are 2 short half mile hiking trails in the park. The Fossil Mountain Trail is pretty cool with lots of small caves and sink holes along it. The Picnic Loop Trail is more easily accessible, but not as good. The main reason to make the stop here is for the Rickwood Caverns. Its about a mile long one hour guided tour. Its $17.50 for people over 13, or $13 for campers. Kids are cheaper to free under 5. Its worth the money I thought. Had my own privet tour today and saw albino crawdads, a treefrog, and a half dozen bats up close.
There is a gift shop that sells limited food and nic-nacks. There is also a large pool with diving boards that is drained this time of year. Lots of picnic areas as well. The bathrooms and showers are clean and heated. Alcohol is prohibited here, so don't plan on drinking while you grill. The price would be $32 for one day, which is all you need here, then there is a $4.50 discount to $27 a night after that.
