I called and a nice person named Annette answered and said that yes they were open. I found the place with help from signs leading to the place. I was met and checked in with Annette. Found out that I would have a tent area to myself as it was during the week. I bought some firewood and Annette's husband John delivered it to my site, which was on the river. Very peaceful. They had the usual amenities I.E full hookups plus volleyball, horseshoe pits, showers, hiking and horse trails and a nice beach. John and Annette have a real nice place there. Go check it out.

A truly beautiful hike filled with caves to explore! There are a total of nine caves, ranging in…read moresize from massive walk-through caverns to smaller, single-person passages. Two of the largest caves let you walk straight from one entrance to another, while one of the smaller ones requires squeezing through two tight openings before you can barely stand inside--definitely an adventure! The trails are not wheelchair accessible. The full hike took us about three hours at a steady pace. I'd recommend bringing a flashlight for exploring, though it's not absolutely necessary. Between the unique caves and the gorgeous trails, this park is a gem. I'll definitely be returning to Maquoketa Caves in the future!

Many of the caves have streams running through which are very cool but can also cause slips and falls... I'd also be careful of some of the off-the-beaten-track paths as one led us to some pretty steep cliffs. And again don't underestimate the slipperiness of even the regular paths... The gift shop is just a few tables set up outside of a shelter-type open building (I had to get my usual magnets) in the parking lot, and the visitors center is a separate building off of the main road (Caves Road) and 98. The visitors center has a few interesting displays and we watched a film about the history of the park, Well worth a visit, and especially recommend seeing the Dance Hall Caves....

We were quiet, no music on just enjoying a fire with friends but the owner insisted that we go to bed. He would creep up on us and yell at us, he put our fire out using buckets of water and turned the electricity off to neighboring campers thinking they were ours. He did this to other groups of paying customers as well. The owners also kept sneaking around the different campsites watching people, when you questioned them on this their reply was that they were filming us?!?!?!? To avoid them we went into our camper, and he proceeded to come up to the window with a device and say again that he was filming us.

We've camped here two years in a row. Last year we really enjoyed it and this year we feel as…read morethough the campground as a whole has regressed. The staff has been very friendly. The things that have declined in the past year: 1) The pool - it's now extremely dirty, the bottom is slimy and slick because it hasn't been cleaned and there is dirt everywhere. 2) The wibit has changed and gotten smaller than it was last year. 3) The expensive firewood was so wet the two times we ordered it that it wouldn't burn after an hour of trying everything. 4) The quality of food has decreased significantly. Last year we really enjoyed the fresh squeezed lemonade and the pizza, however, this year it was super disappointing (especially for the price you pay). 5) The amount of bugs and flies is almost unBEARable, (see what I did there). I understand we are camping and that there are going to be bugs, but this is excessive to the point where we didn't want to sit outside to eat or enjoy a potential fire, because they were attacking from every direction (despite candles, spraying the grass around our site and bug spray). Overall, there are still some things we would return for, but super sad that it isn't the experience we had last year.

They have about 10 pull through sites that are full hook ups and we replaced on the very end which was wonderful and we had an amazing view. We did not use any of their shower or laundry facilities this time, but everything looked neat and orderly. There are mature trees, so plenty of shade and grassy areas to play. There was also a playground as well as a pretty chapel. The couple checking us in were very kind and thorough with instructions. All of the utilities worked as expected, and the site was level as well. Can highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice quiet peaceful place to camp. Total was $60/nite
