Making advanced reservations for guided cave tours apparently is a must. All guided tours were sold out during our stay, but we were able to get tickets for the self-guided Discovery tour. It turned out to be very enjoyable. Would recommend if you want a relaxed pace. Also very good for small children.

Doing the Violet city tour was one of the best parts of our trip. The campground was easy to navigate and made for the perfect night!

Camping site was nice and close to the visitor center. Bathrooms were not clean and only one sink (of two) worked in the ladies bathroom. The reservation fee was higher than most Kentucky state parks, which was okay except that the showers cost money, were located in a separate facility, and were not clean or up to date. Staff also did not follow the posted cleaning schedule and forced us to wait and extra hour to use the shower facility.

Really nice campground facilities - paved roads make for quiet traffic in and around sites
Wild turkeys and deer everywhere. Had Ranger led programs the first evening I arrived. Tour of the cave was very well done. Overall very pleased.
