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 miles 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 miles of hiking and biking trails, and is just a five-minute walk to the Visitor Center, where cave tours begin

Mammoth Cave campgrounds are great. They are close to the visitor center and a general store where you can take showers (for money) and do some quick shopping. We were here during a heat wave so being able to take some cave tours during the hotter hours of the day was a lifesaver. There is canoeing/kayaking near by (if the river isn't too high or low) and lots of cave exploring both in the park and at nearby locations. We had a great time and were pleasantly surprised at the amenities.

We had an incredible visit to Mammoth Cave and the campground! In addition to the fascinating cave tour, the camp had nice little details, like small signs indicating which caves and chambers were below us. We wrote all about our stay during our cross-country trip here: https://toebox.substack.com/p/day-three-dripstones-and-raccoons

The showers, laundry, and camp store -- complete with wondeful staff full of useful information (and a solid wifi connection) also made the stay comfortable and restful--which was just what we needed.

Enjoy this very special place!

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed it. It was very close to the water station and rest room which was very convenient. Heard lot of wild life activities in the night. The rest room is small and might get crowded if the camp ground is full.

We had a great time. We camped in the group, tent only area of Mammoth Cave campground and had easy access to everything by walking. The guides were wonderful.

The park was easy to find, had very clear instructions posted at the entrance when I arrived after hours, and the sites were well mapped and marked. The campground was clean and well designed. My visit was pleasant and enjoyable and I really appreciate how accessible it was!

Campsites were great - we tent camped in section B. Visitor center was very nice with much information. Trail heads were hard to follow on some of the more obscure trails. Cave tours were exceptional.

Store hours were very limited.

Overall very good experience
