Planned on camping here...Booked over the phone since the reviews were so good. Got there around 6:30pm on a Monday (office closes at 5pm) grabbed our info package then drove to the site. The places looked run down with empty buildings and trash cans over filled. Took a look at the shower house and left. Not sure what people are seeing in this camping grounds!? I was genuinely scared to sleep here, some of the "campers" looked as people lived their year round.
Quiet and peaceful! Been coming here 40yrs. Beautiful here. Back im woods.
Great festival venue, everything was clean and well kept. Little pioneer village, a gift shop, shower house. Little disorganized but not the parks fault. Definitely looking forward to going back in the fall 😊
Closed? Run down and creepy.. actually 0 stars. Do Indians play banjos? Not one person asked why we were there.
Zane Shawnee Caverns offers a short cavern tour, an old village to view, and a campground.
We enjoyed seeing the caverns. They can be toured in a 20 min guided tour. $20 per adult.
The campground, visitor centre, out buildings, laneway, and swimming area were beautifully planned out and built - originally.
But, they have all fallen into disrepair. Although the tribe members who live on the grounds were charged with upkeep, they seem to have fallen behind their task.
Our tour guide took us through the caverns, and did a good job.
This area was very lovely once.
But, It is painful to see what has happened here.
