Mark Twain Cave & Campground — Reviews

We stayed here because it’s only about two hours from home, and overall we had a mixed but manageable experience. The campsites varied quite a bit — some were very close together, while others offered much more space. The electrical and water hookups were placed much farther from the sewer connection than we’re used to, so depending on how you park, you may need an additional sewer hose. The picnic tables were worn and weathered, with some mold on the wood, so they didn’t feel very usable. The shower house and bathrooms were also quite warm since there was no air conditioning. With temperatures in the mid‑90s and a high heat index, the facilities were uncomfortable and could be challenging for anyone sensitive to heat. On the positive side, the grounds were well‑maintained, the grass was cut, and there were plenty of shady spots. There were lots of dogs, and most people cleaned up after themselves. We did notice several dogs off‑leash, which can be risky in a busy campground if not all dogs interact well. The two large shelters were great for gatherings, and the permanent cornhole setups (with bags provided) were a fun touch. Because it’s close to home and has some nice features, we would consider returning, and we hope to see a few improvements over time. No air conditioning in the bathrooms & shower house is concerning. Needing to have 2 sewer hoses connected to use full hookup should be in their description of the campgrounds.

Clean! Love the trees and location.

Beautiful campground. Our site B10 was perfect for our big rig.

Friendly and helpful staff at both the Winery and the campground registration center. Quiet and relaxing area with attractions to Mark Twain and the Caves to enjoy for the family or couples looking to explore. A definite must to go see and stay the night or a few days.

The deluxe pull through site was very spacious which meant easy hook up. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We did leave a day early due to weather outlook, however this was no fault of the campground and will definitely be back.

Beautiful site, great amenities. My phone had a poor signal, but sometimes that’s a very good thing. I was impressed how clean the campground was considering how many people were staying there. I wanted to stay at least one more night, so I’ll be coming back.

The one men's room toilet ( of two) was out of service an full, while the other was just filthy. Nice spot otherwise. Would stay again.

Very clean spacious sites. Great scenery and the caves are really cool to check out. Winery is great with a large selection of wine, beer, and spirits. All staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Everything was great, lovely setting, nice grounds and clean bathrooms. Dumpsters were overflowing, and no rescue in sight. We stayed in a 42ft 5th wheel.

Spacious sites, quiet and peaceful stay.

Nice big pull through site, super friendly people, and we thoroughly enjoyed the cave tours. We particularly enjoyed the flashlight tour of Cameron Cave.

Campground was lovely, restrooms clean & staff friendly.

We had a very brief stay at the Mark Twain campground. They were very professional and kind in the front office and offered options for us to stay an extra night, or park in overflow parking so we could use our vehicle to go into town. The site was not completely level. However, I would stay there again.

Loved the campground and all the activities to do around the area as well.
