My son william is staying here in camper with his family Jen and Liam we stayed at the birds nest lodge I would give this whole park a AAA++++ rating clean everything you need all people and staff GREAT A NICE AREA cave springs great restaurants wow also water you can drink right out of the mountain recommend to everyone I know thank you all we will be back Chip dempsey
Been about a year ago just got around to this. Love the camp ground creek right behind our RV really enjoyed that. All we caught where stick fish but they put up a fight. Especially the big branch fish. Employees where fun and very nice. I would go back but I sold the RV but one day we will be back.
We stayed here for a month and really enjoyed our stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the store at the office has lots of essentials. The lots are fairly spacious, we had a creekside lot which was pretty. The city of Cave Springs is very cute with shopping opportunities and good restaurants. So good, we ate at the Mexican restaurant twice. The city of Rome is about 20 minutes away and has much more including lots of history. We will definitely be back!
Tent camping within an hour from home and during a week night made for a nice mostly peaceful retreat for me and my wife.
We stayed in tent site 1 because it is next to a men/women's plumbed bathroom (but with curtains not actual privacy doors?) And also because it is the only tent camping site with a water spigot (bring your own hose) and an outdoor electrical outlet (bring a 50' cord or longer).
The staff is very accommodating from reservations to checkout. The park store is well stocked mainly for the kayak/boating/fishing customers. Otherwise a dollar general is 2 miles away in cave springs. Into town you'll also find an old style grocery store, diners and restaurants choices as well as Rolater (sp?) Park.
Anyways other campers we encountered seemed friendly enough yet respectful of each others privacy. No facts to base it on but we felt this is mainly an RV park and that many of the RV'ers staying at the park seemed to be long-term RV residents or maybe traveling or transitioning workers with families. Not that it mattered to us or is our concern. We never felt threatened or unsafe.
4 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of physical roaming security and no gate at the park entrance.
The poor conditions of the bathroom and in the community showers. Spiders, flies, mosquitoes, no lockable privacy doors in the actual shower rooms or toilets and the men's bathroom near our site had no lights.
But also because our experience was less than 5 stars mainly due to the visitors in the RV site closest to T1 where the husband and wife left 3 dogs kenneled inside their 5th wheel for 10-12 hours during their workday...and AGAIN not our business and we cast no judgements but the almost non-stop barking of three dogs from about 6 am - 6 or 7 pm was not peaceful.
We we're only staying for two nights and certainly not the only ones who hear or see this going on so we did not want to cause trouble and did not report it. BUT I sense if we had the owners would have addressed it immediately.
There are a lot of dog owners here and the majority seem respectful of others.. Worth noting is that we saw so many dogs and yet never seen any animal feces because the park provides many stocked doggydoo stations and then campers seem to follow the park guidelines.
Night time (after closest site dog owners came home) the slow moving creek, many fish, turtles, deer and squirrels.. churping cicada and crickets brought us back to the surrounding nature and in the end we're thankful for our experience.
My wife is a contract nurse, we've been at Cedar Creek for 9 months' now.
Before we head out, I wanted to give them a well-deserved 5 star-review.
The park is managed by a loving and kind family. Good people who will assist with anything they possibly can. The upkeep of the location is spectacular.
There is a good blend of full-timers/casual weekenders coming through. With that being said, we have had 0 issues with anyone/anything at this park. On the contrary, the park is so neighborly that I often leave the RV unlocked when heading out because of the location/people here.
Location wise: You are 30 minutes away from Rome, which is the larger city nearby with plenty of places to get some good food. Cave Springs itself is 5 minutes away and is a perfect little town (most places are closed Sunday). The drive here is perfect (rolling hills/farmland).
Overall: Absolutely nothing to complain about. We would have been staying longer if possible.
Thanks for everything!
