WORTH THE DRIVE! *Make cave tour reservations well in advance!!* Regarding cave tour KNOW THESE AHEAD OF TIME….. NOT for the disabled. Not a commercialized cave with smooth paths- it’s all rocky and lots of climbing/maneuvering involved. Cave tour is 2.5-3 hours long and no bathroom at cave site (they make a last potty stop on drive out …bathrooms are nice and clean and there’s a shower available inside each) Only 10 people allowed per tour which is at 1:00 on Saturdays and don’t be late- they leave right at 1, putting everyone in a state park shuttle to the site. Bring a flashlight for tour. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and good shoes for climbing over rocks. Bring water-they don’t provide any on tour. Hopefully you’ll have park ranger Matt as your cave tour guide- he was informative, personable and fun. State park personnel were friendly and helpful. Headquarters had activities for children. Camp sites looked tidy. Stuart Bat Cave access is wheelchair friendly. (Aug 2023- very little bat activity due to heat and drought) Closest towns are 30 min drive either way and there is nothing between the park and towns except beautiful land. A great place to completely escape all things urban and truly unplug.
