Being from Kansas and new to the camping world my wife and I have been skeptical about camping grounds. We absolutely loved our time at Cave Mountain Lake. We were very impressed with the bathrooms and facilities. We stayed at lot 35 which seems to be the furthest away from all other sites and we could not have picked a better space. Unfortunately were learning that its best to reserve a head of time so we couldnt stay longer than a few days since thats all the availability they had but we plan to go back. Les (one of the campground volunteers) was very nice and informative. Highly recommend this place especially if youre new to this.

Campsite was well prepared, leaves blown off well on and around pad area. Host were out and about throughout the day had anything come up that needed assistance. Nature trail and spillway access trail well maintained. Kids had lots of fun and want to come back next year.

Nice facility with lots to do. Family oriented. Good hiking right out of the campground.

Great campground. Nice access to a creek. Fun for the kids. Clean bathrooms, hot showers. Only downside was there was no soap in the bathrooms. Would definitely return.

This was a beautiful camp. The sites are not too close together, which gives a sense of privacy, especially with the trees between sites. We enjoyed going on two of the beautiful hiking trails around the camp. The bathrooms and showers were very, very clean so much appreciated!

We reserve this camping site in the last minute. My family were wanting to have an escape from daily city smoke (Richmond) and it was so perfect! Were not expecting to have a such experience! We had a midnight rain wich make it more enjoyable . Peaceful, clean, organized place and all the people stay were so respectful to each others. We all love it!

We camped with 3 families side by side and had an absolute blast! The bear boxes were amazing and so nice to have a place to store all of our food and supplies. Bathrooms were clean and I loved the individual shower rooms. We will be back.

Nice campground with amenities close by. Campsites are kept clean upon arrival. Checkout time could be extended by an hour or so would help.
@JeffreyH206902 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #27
Nice quiet campground with great hosts and rangers.
@KarenDA7B36E27 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #10
Lovely camping spot. Trees, shade, beautiful stonework and flat packed sandy soil. Lots of nice people nearby felt very safe. Not super quiet with lots of dogs. But we enjoyed watching other people enjoy the campground. Nice clean bathrooms. (Bring your own soap)We hiked and swam in the little lake.

Nice clean campground with beautiful adjacent swimming area.
@JacobP1556365 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #41
Great campsite! Bathrooms were clean, campground was great, lake was awesome!
@KathrynM671582 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025
Our camp host was incredibly helpful. Our site was clean and right on the stream. Bathrooms were neat and tidy. The lake was a nice break from the heat and the area around it was well maintained.
@BethD3BAAC5BDF · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #23
A gem of a campground! Super clean, quiet and well-maintained. Plenty of trails and the lake is gorgeous. Sites are level and mostly shaded. Not for large rigs though, only a few pull through sites. Absolutely no cell service (which we enjoyed!).
@KarenB2737002 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025
The Camp Hostess was excellent. It is obvious that the entire group works to keep the campground and facilities up with limited resources.
@MarissaE65871A · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #18
Easy to find, sites were lovely and very well maintained. Bathrooms and showers were super clean. Highly recommend!
@ThomasV368F7DB · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #20
quite campsite, everything worked.Only suggestion is to put some hooks into the shower area.
@EdwardK3626935 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #22
Great camp site very large and level and next to bathhouse. Cons are that there is only one bathhouse with four showers for 40 camp sites and the bathhouse at the lake had no showers. With the temperatures in the 90's we would have liked and gladly paid for electrical hookup to power our AC at night. Lake was warm and clean with sand beach and sand swimming area.
@Guillaume7C1D3 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025
Nice campground with showers, the host is friendly and knowledgeable about local trails and waterfalls.
@TrudiS7D74619F · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #16
the campsite is great. Each of the individual sites are given plenty of room to move around whether you have tents or RV/trailer/van, Though you are in the woods, and you are in the woods, the sites are clear and clean. Plenty of vegetation around your site to give you privacy. The bathrooms are kept VERY clean considering they are not new and nature all around. The hosts are attentive if you need them and in the background if you don't. Everyone was very respectful of noise levels. I will be staying here again the next time I pass through Virginia.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
