Mark Twain Cave & Campground

The park was clean and well laid out with full hookups. I was disappointed that the sandwich shop was closed. When I asked, I was told that it didn't open at all this year. The cost for the cave tour was $24.99 per person so we skipped that and walked the Cave Hollow Trail instead. It is very steep! The provided wi-fi was intermittent. There is a cute shop at the cave entrance with trinkets and souvenirs but not much for snacks. The attendant was happy to give us the names of a couple nearby restaurants that delivered. The park is a few miles from Hannibal proper.

This is a nice campground by the Mark Twain Cave. The sites are spacious with nice big fire rings. The sites are gravel and are semi level but still need leveling. It was quiet and peaceful, a good nights rest passing through. The grounds are fairly tidy but could use some clean up. We had a nice corn hole area across from our site. Very easy to get to with GPS.

This is a nice campground surrounded by great trees and lots of shade. There was a lot of evidence of work done to improve muddy conditions. We saw crews putting down new gravel to improve the sites. Ours was fairly level.

The campground has some lovely huge trees which provide lots of shade. It is within short distance of historic Hannibal the birthplace of Mark Twain with great views of the Mississippi River. Main Street in Hannibal is a bit touristy but worth a visit. We happened to be here on a summer Saturday and found some very nice produce at the farmer's market.

They put us in the new section. However, the sites are suffering from sinking and are not very level and it took many tries with the levelers and moving the rig back and forth before we had something near to level. The owner did come by and told us they know about the problem and have been adding truck loads of gravel to fix it. Several of the new sites were blocked off because of the slope.

Be aware that there is no Verizon nor T-Mobile cell service and while we were there, the campground was experiencing a major issue with the WIFI. It would randomly and frequently disconnect. We drove to Lovers Leap to get online so we could make subsequent reservations for our trip.

Other than the above, the campground is very friendly and I would go again, but I advise that for the short term do not book the new sites. The older one appear nicely level and somewhat shaded.

We met friends and had a very nice stay. Was surprised that we had NO cell service on Verizon and T-Mobile until we left the park heading to town. The Cave was a nice attraction. There was a lot of evidence of grounds improvements in progress. Our sites were not as level as I would have expected. Sites had no grass and were only gravel. This was a $35 location rather than $45....

We stayed here one night on our way back to Minnesota from Florida. We booked it due to location on this leg on the trip, and the positive reviews we had read. It looks like a newer campground, and they are continuing to work on it. The facilities are new, and look really nice. We were here “off season,” and the campground was not very busy. We had a nice meal at a brewery in town Mark Twain Brewery, of course). The town is interesting, with a pretty clear separation between the “old” and “new” parts. It was a little tricky making the turn into the campground from the road; a pretty sharp turn right after a bridge, with not-too-good signage. If we hadn’t been tracking with our GPS, I think we would have driven past. Our site was not very level.

We were here 4 nights and while it rained most of the time, it was peaceful and quiet. We had a back on site that was easy to locate and level. Bathhouse was OK but the lens side was not cleaned often. The laundry room was nice. WIFI was pretty good except during the storms (which even then I was kind of impressed with the connection). I have Verizon and had almost no service at our site.

We visited the winery on the property and I’m not much of a wine person but the Wine Slushies are absolutely great!
