Mammoth Cave Campground

The campground was beautiful, restrooms were clean and well stocked, and the nearby campground store and lodge had everything you might need in a pinch. Would definitely recommend!

Gorgeous campground very close to hiking trails around the park. The rangers were friendly and helpful and staff in the lodge were kind. Bathrooms were well maintained. Only reason I cant give 5 stars is because the caves were closed during the entirety of our stay and there was a surprising amount of light pollution for a bat sanctuary. Paths were lighted every night and the lights outside the bathrooms were very bright. We ended up moving sights after our first night to a darker park of the campground. Otherwise we had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.

The bathrooms need to be updated to include showers. It's ridiculous to have to pay to take a shower in a National Park.

The cave tours were fun. We went on the historic tour with a 5 year old, a 7 year old and 2 in theory 70s along with my wife and I in our late 30s. Everyone managed the 2 miles well and had a great time. We also hiked some of the trails which is something you want to remember, the surface of the park is gorgeous too

A huge thank you to the Park Rangers taking care of our national monuments during the shutdown. The facilities were pristine, and even though the cave was under limited operations, the trails were well maintained, and everyone I came into contact with was smiling and helpful, and I'm so happy I spent two days there!

Our campsite was nice and level. Bathrooms were close, but trail lights weren't working. The campground is very dark, and those lights would have made navigation to restrooms alot easier. Showers took a bit to figure out, as far as getting the temperature right.

We appreciated that the campground stayed open even during the shut down. Mammoth Cave campground is a beautiful place to camp.

I totally appreciate being able to make a last minute on-line reservation at your park. Unlike some States. Even when no park personnel are around. I was passing through the area after dark in the rain and got tired. You provided me with safe harbor to park and sleep. Without boondocking in some unknown parking lot that may have been unsafe, even though I am fully self contained.

Camping during the shutdown was less than ideal, still nice but lacking in several respects.

Planning the trip 6 months in advance leaves little choice but to go on the trip, which was limited in regards to facilities access including the cave system. Also the camp area was very messy with leaves and branches and acorns everywhere. It did not seem as though the site selection was really being tracked….

Clean campground, only complaint was people not respecting quiet hours.
