Very well kept campground. Restrooms were clean, staff was friendly, souvenir shop offers tons of options.. BUT, our cave tour was an iffy experience for me. Our tour guide was a younger teenage girl and it showed. She talked about her teenage DRAMA the ENTIRE tour. Sharing stories that are better kept in your personal circle. It was hard to enjoy the experience and actually tune in to what she was saying. I wanted to tune out the drama but wanted to tune into the facts about the cave. Just very annoying honestly. Also had the same experience in the gift shop. A girl in the deli area talking VERY loudly about her personal boy drama. I understand it may be a fun summer job for these teenagers and I want them to have that full, fun camp experience but there is a time and place to be a silly teen and a time and place to be a professional. I enjoyed my time overall and will recommend Spook Cave to anyone looking for a getaway. (Also a train runs right through the tent camping right by the lake. Only went though 1 time while we were there)

We had a great time.. our guide was Izzy and she did an amazing job.. our boat was full so she got out and pulled us along on the tour.. if you visit the cave you'd be lucky to have Izzy as your guide she's awesome

Great all around campground. Cabins that i was in ( 3 ) 2 were very roomy n comfortable 1 was way small. Parents campsite was clean and well maintained as was rest of the sites I seen. My only problem was the lady that vocally attacked us for walking across " her grass " she claimed they paid for site 39 and there site goes all the way to the road. He really focused on the our children till us Parents found out, she got a reality check quickly. My nieces n nephews had an absolute blast doing the color run ,playing volleyball and other games. I've alway heard about this place and seen the sign many many times but never been till this weekend. Thank you all for having us. Ill definitely be back to rent a cabin for a weekend.

My kid and I visited Spook Cave and had a beautiful time. There was only a short wait for the scenic boat tour through the cave, and it was well worth it. Our guide, Ren (I hope I’m spelling that right!), was full of energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was fun, informative, and a great adventure for both kids and adults. Highly recommend taking the tour if you're in the area!

Beautiful and very well kept up campground. All of the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone! We went on the tour and Jared and Izzy were great tour guides! We were impressed with the staffs attention to detail and cleanliness! Our kids enjoyed the weekend as much as we did! We will definitely be back multiple times!

Cool place for all. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. Wonderful ice cream treats.

We really like this camp ground. Stream runs through, waterfall, fishing lake and many others. Great location for a base in the fall to drive to the river for fall leave viewing. Kids have taken the cave tour and stayed in a cabin. We take the camper. There is train tracks that run next to camp ground and trains do come through occasionally. Great playground area with nice equipment.

We were there for a week. Friends from Michigan joined us. As they were all hooked up and leaving with their RV and their jeep hooked up behind it the air brakes malfunctioned on their rig and brakes wouldn’t release. Called several places for help, some would not travel to us, some wouldn’t work on an RV or air brakes. I happened to see the owner driving in, Russ, and flagged him down. He made some calls and had help out to us in an hour and a half. Our friends wound up staying an additional night for the repairs but I don’t know what we would have done if not for Russ. This is an amazing, clean, beautifully maintained camp ground! Sites are awesome! Cave tour is great! Cabins are awesome! The owners are wonderful, friendly, and helpful! Highly recommend and we’ve been there twice and look forward to reserving next year! Highly recommend! Hidden gem right here!

This campground initially appeared beautiful. Property is well maintained as far as lawn care and we had a trout stream right behind us. The lack of mosquitoes was also a big plus. However, the beach is extremely small and the water is filthy. I’m also comparing it to other beaches we’ve been to. Also, the trains that go through blaring horns at all hours of the night are quite annoying. Obviously not something they have control over but nonetheless difficult to sleep through. Also, keep in mind that this campground allows UTVs and they are everywhere and they are LOUD. The rules state no driving after 10pm but that was clearly not enforced and I was even told not to worry about driving hours when I rented a golf cart. The office hours are strange. They close at 5:30 on the weekends which is bizarre as that’s when most of your guests are there. The cave tour was fun and quite enjoyable and the shop is very nice. Ice cream was delicious as well and staff was friendly. It overall was not bad, but I would most likely not stay there again.

We decided to book a campsite for the Memorial Day weekend. Price seemed high at first but figured why not give it a try. Once we arrived I found out that this place was very well kept! The bathrooms were spotless, modern and very nice. The campsites were very nice with mowing and locations next to the creek. They bring firewood right to your campsite and all around a top notch place. I especially loved hiking the trails around the property and of course the cave tour. Our tour guide Ab did an amazing job and had us laughing throughout the tour. Don’t let the price fool you this place is worth every penny.

Had such a wonderful weekend getaway for our Anniversary. Everything went smoothly. Booked our lakeside cabin online. Check in took a total of probably 3 minutes and staff was very friendly. Met the owner and she was just as friendly and welcoming. Cabin was a bit chilly in the bedroom as it was one of the last weekends of the season and heater was in the livingroom area but that is to be expected. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Nice and quiet also. We will be back next year!

The cave was amazing and our tour guide Mike was great. He was so friendly and was out going. I highly recommend coming and seeing it. The campground is beautiful also.

This is a beautiful campground overall. There is a lot to do and see. Waterfall, swimming, fishing, trails, kids play area, cave tours. There were a few drawbacks. Most of the campsites are large, grassy sites perfect for a 30ft camper or larger EXCEPT sites 50-55. These are VERY SMALL, on a steep hill, and almost no grass. Avoid these sites. The fire pits are a hole in the ground without any fire surround or cover. The edges slope down into the fire pit. This is very dangerous. More than once the small kids nearly fell into the fire. Other than the 2 issues above this was a lovely campground and we did have a great time.

Me family and I went they recently, and had a amazing time. There are many stunning things to do at the campground. Some examples of this are trails,swimming area, and fishing. Most of all my family loved the cave tours. Are tour guide Michael was very friendly, keep the conversation going, informational, and overall a nice human. We learned a lot about the cave and park in general. To be honest all the people working while we were there were great. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun summer getaway.

My wife and I were doing a tour of Iowa Waterfalls and found out about the tour while visiting a fall on the camp grounds. The tour was amazing, they take you deep into a cave via boat. It is a one of a kind tour. The lady who did out tour was really good.
