Not the best site for tent camping since the entire space is gravel. Posting mentions that tents can be set up on a parking pad but there isn’t one. Also, this spot is directly on the road so you listen to cars passing by frequently. Not ideal for those looking for a real camping experience. Also there is a very large dead tree that is a major hazard and needs to be removed asap.

Not a good match
This place is a bit far off of I-24 for those looking for a quick stop while heading East or West.
If your Rv is longer than 24 total (including any tow vehicle) you will find yourself hanging out in a street where vehicles coming around the bends won’t see you with safe distance.
Lastly $40 for electric is steep for what is offered,
I think this place would best serve 24’ or less RV’s and not any vehicle that tows anything (trailer, 5th wheel, tow dolly, etc).
I won’t return.

Nice spot, felt safe with the gated entrance. Bring earplugs if you're sleeping in a tent! Passing cars are loud.

Not much to it, just a gravel overlook. Also no water in the water tanks

A small group of friends booked sites 1 and 2 for a weekend at the Caverns. Great view and easy access for an RV and our additional large tent. Convenient to hiking and swimming at Greeter Falls and the Caverns. Hosts were very communicative and accommodating. Strong cell signal at the site in an area with spotty service, Hope to return soon!
