Convenient, clean and cool!

We stayed here a few nights while exploring the National Park in mid-summer. Surprisingly the campground was not crowded despite there being a large number of visitors. The sites are spaced out nicely which is nice since they are relatively open and provide little privacy. One drawback of the sites here is that they are primarily dirt and fine sand on the surface, causing quite a mess when it rains. Alas....it is camping after all!

One thing some may not know about this facility is that there is an actual dog kennel located on site (near the visitor's center). Why is this such an amazing amenity? Well because you can't take your pooch into the cave but you can still have them camping with you! So if you and your fido(s) are inseparable, fear not! The system is super easy and inexpensive.

The campground offers coin (well token) operated showers which are decent and nice at the end of a day of cave exploring. If you're looking for a spot that's convenient to the park, it doesn't get better than this place.
