Mammoth Cave Campground

It was excellent

Fantastic facilities, clean personal campsite and entire campgrounds, nice showers and access to laundry facilities, very close to visitors center which had fantastic tours and wonderful ranger guides. Highly recommend!

Well taken care of campground, close to visitors center and walkable distance to lodge and amphitheater. Bathrooms are clean and table was concrete and clean. Would stay here again!

Such a beautiful campground with so many lovely trees everywhere. We loved the bike path & rode a bunch. Bathrooms smelled like bleach—my favorite bathrooms on my roadtrip so far! They were cleaned, well, daily❤️

I enjoyed my time at the campground in Mammoth Cave National Park. It is close to and within walking distance to the Visitors Center, the Historical Cave Entrance and a lot of the hikes near the visitors center. There is a camp store and two pay showers with hot water. The lodge has a coffee shop and several choices of restaurants.

This was my first time visiting Mammoth Cave, and the campground was FABULOUS! My site (105D) was a perfect location balance for meeting neighbors and seeing nature-- no neighboring campsite on one side, and the back was the forest. My site was level and it was clean when I arrived, and the cement tables and fire pit were in great condition! The parking pad is a perfect size for two SUVs if you need more than one car. The sites in my loop were also a good distance away from each other-- not super close neighbors but close enough if you want to meet each other.

The campground itself was a great blend of solo and couple campers and young families-- it wasn't overrun by any one type of camper. Everyone followed the quiet hour rules, and the bathroom facilities were kept clean- they were cleaned every day around lunchtime. The shower house is a bit of a walk if you're in the back of the campground but is still plenty walkable, I never needed to wait on an open shower, and they were very clean (I'd still bring shower shoes though). While I visited, I saw deer, turkey, and rare woodpeckers within the campground. There also wasn't an overwhelming swarm of bugs despite visiting in August. The campground is also within walking distance to the national park visitor center (where the cave tours start/end), the lodge and restaurants, and many hiking trails. Two things to note though-- don't expect cell service at the campground, and bring your lantern/flashlight with you if you go to a bath house after sundown-- it's quite dark at night unless there are many visitors with fires going, and the only sidewalks lit are the ones right outside the bath houses.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit if you want to be close to nature-- town was about a 20 minute drive and there was minimal cell service (though you had free wifi at the visitor center). This was exactly the type of trip I was looking for though, so I will certainly be returning!!

Great site!

Check-in was the easiest thing, and the camp store was very pleasant in items and people running it.

This was our second time and we always enjoy the setting. This year the neighboring campers were loud and for a few days we had to deal with a camper that had the loudest generator. I never saw them sitting outside so not really sure why they want to camp.

Clean and easy to access. Campground is beautiful and right next to plenty of bathrooms and the camp store.
