About Mammoth Cave Campground

Mammoth Cave Campground offers campers a prime location to explore both the depths and surface treasures of Mammoth Cave National Park.  Clicking on the site link will provide more details about the site's conditions. Be sure to check the 'Need to Know' section for each site to gather additional information on specific conditions.  All wheels must remain on the pavement within the campground, as varying conditions can cause muddy ruts and erosion. Mammoth Cave is an underground passageway with over 400 mi of naturally sculpted limestone and sandstone, making it the longest recorded cave system in the world. The grand-scale chambers and winding passageways were the inspiration for the park’s name.  The campground also serves as an entry point to 14 mi of hiking and biking trails, and is just a five-minute walk to the Visitor Center, where cave tours begin

This was a really nice and clean campground. It was well maintained and we enjoyed our time there. Site D110 pavement has a moderate incline for a camper vehicle but the tent area is flat. Site D96 pavement was pretty level. There was a lot of construction going on at the park, but everything was still easy to get to. Would stay here again. The NP staff at the booth was exceptional, especially Tori.

It's very hard to see what your campsite will look like by the small thumbnail photo and it turned out ours (51) was in the sun much of the day. Thankfully the temperatures were ok and we brought shade with us. The campground was clean and quiet, and initially we struggled to know where to take our trash when leaving the campsite. The outlet did not work in the bathroom closest to our site, but thankfully we managed to survive without it. There are a LOT of squirrels who do like to raid your camp when you aren't around!

I only had the opportunity to stay one night at the Mammoth Cave Campground however I was well pleased with my visit. I was using tent equipment for my stay. The site was clean and well taken care of. The bath facilities were as expected however not in disrepair by any means - suitably clean and taken care of. The camp-store had a variety of items including coin operated showers with hot water and laundry services. I will certainly consider staying here additional nights in the future.

Mammoth Cave was an amazing surprise stop on my trip through Kentucky. The rangers were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. The park was absolutely beautiful and we must do everything we can to support laws to protect our national parks to ensure they will be here for our children and their children.
