This was recommended to us by a fellow traveler and we found it to be a nice attraction. The tour consists of getting in a boat and riding through a cave with a guide who tells stories. The campground around the cave appears to be quite nice. The cave is natural with some embellishments. The boat ride can be a challenge for a claustrophobe for a short distance within the cave; however the water is ceiling plus shallow water considerations can overcome any anxiety. The tour guides are well trained for the job and there are passing zones in the cave for multiple boats. This is worth the while if passing through the area.
It was an interesting ride although we wish we'd known about a third of the ride is spent with your head on your knees ducking to avoid low ceilings. Interesting and friendly guide. About a 30 minute tour for $11 adult cost
Our guide was knowledgeable and it was a great family cave tour. It was pretty cool to go in the cave in a boat instead of walk. It stays a constant 49 degrees in the cave and they have nice lighting in there to see everything.
We stayed in the camp ground with our two teenage children, and the entire facility was top notch. The grounds are very well kept and everything was very neat and clean. The swimming pond and beach was also very nice. The cave tour was also a neat experience and the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Prairie Du Chein is only about a 15 minute drive from the campground. We drove through a few of the other campgrounds in the area and Spoke Cave Campground was by far the nicest with the most to offer.
Such a fun day. This attraction reminds you of a day gone by. Take a John boat into a cave and listen to the story of it's beginning. Our teens really enjoyed it. Be prepared to "duck" a lot as you enter the cave. The campground seems very peaceful. check out the working water wheel outside of the cave and a pretty waterfall as you enter the park.
this was a great trip. There of course is the cave but there are many more things to explore here. The old water shed is great. The guides are very knowledgeable about the cave and the area. Thi is a cave so watch your head, there are low points and sometimes you don't know they are coming up. Great trip I would recommend
We had such a great time, and the lead on the boat was very knowledgeable about the cave. We had enough people to fill two boats and had a wonderful time. Did not stay at the campground, just went on the boat ride.
Just visited over the weekend and had a blast! Such a fun time and great experience! Highly recommend this attraction if you are in the area.
I wanted my brother, who now lives out of state, to have an adventure he can tell his buddies about. Having never been at Spook Cave but driven by it many times, I thought, why not?It features a well-rehearsed tour of the history of the cave and one of the most unique ways to enter the cave-by boat! If you're a big guy like me(over six feet tall) or taller, like my brother is, then be prepared to really bend over at the entrance/exit of the tour. Once you are inside, it opens up so you can straighten up again. The water is cold, the tour guide is informative and helpful and the scenery isn't bad. The price is right on this cave. It also has camping and trails nearby. Of course, if you don't like tight places then avoid this place. Otherwise this is a really "cool" cave trip!
Not a lot of cave formations. Very cool though, in that you go through in a small boat with a guide. You do need to be flexible to be able to lay down to get into the cave. There were hibernating bats (nice), but if you are bat phobic you might want to skip this as they are within arms reach. They water is oly a few feet deep. The cave is always 47 degrees, so you need a jacket.
