Carter Caves has always been a favorite place or mine to go for a day or a week. I rented a cottage and did some day hiking. It is a great place to hike , mountain bike, canoe or kayak, and there is now a climbing and rappelling area. I like to go there in the Spring and Fall best. I go there dozens of times each year. Just did a overnight backpacking trip on the Four Cs trail to Johnson Home Place back country camping. You need a permit but you can get it at the lodge. Nice trip

Cool trail system with lots to see, will return. Only problem is the cave tours weren't running alot when I visited but it was off season so I understand but ill be returning. Great gift shop, lots of stuff. Lodge was a bit run down and looked more like a motel, so I don't think I'll be booking a room.

Anybody who has not went to Carter caves should really go with your entire family. I went with my kids and grand babies.every body had a great time. And to be completely honest with you. It really was amazing. Our tour guide flat knew his business. Everyone needs to go you will love it .and the resort was really nice and there is all kinds of hiking trails for everyone new and young and for the old so go check it out

Came for a family weekend and it was a great time! We were able to get cabins all next to each other, the staff at the lodge were always friendly and helpful. Being close to the playground and trail head was a great bonus! Cabins were cozy and had enough space for all our stuff. There wasn't any wifi in the cabins we were in, but that wasn't an issue for us. I recommend this state park for anyone looking to get outdoors on some gorgeous trails!

This is obviously a much smaller cave system and park than mammoth caves. However mammoth caves while impressive due to size doesn't really have quite as much cave feel to it because of that size... That being said these are not claustrophobic caves that make you crawl on your hands and knees it's just most areas are closer to a standard hallway with larger rooms scattered here and there. I enjoyed this trip more than I thought.
