Experience the thrill of Rickwood’s miracle mile of underground caverns! The 260 million-year-old limestone formations, blind cave fish and underground pool are just a few of the natural wonders exhibited in the colorful cavern. The park features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, picnic area, hiking trails, miniature-train ride, campground and souvenir store!
Rickwood Cave reveals that it was carved from an ocean bed-shell fragments and fossils of marine life are clearly visible along the cavern ceiling and walls. Many curiosities are featured on guided tours of the “miracle mile” at Rickwood Caverns State Park.

I believe the lower rating is mine from an experience probably 8 years ago. At the time the staff did not seem like they wanted any of the cub scouts there and they made for a bad time.
Fast forward to 2019. The same Cub Scout Pack made a return visit and we could not have been more welcomed by the staff. They went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed and to give us discounts on camping, patches and cave tours.
Speaking of Cave Tours, the gentleman who took us through the cave was passionate about the cave and he did a great job entertaining the 30 elementary school kids on the tour.
We had a great time and we look forward to going back in the future. I highly recommend you consider Rickwood Caverns for a camping event.
