Mammoth Cave Campground

It was a very nice campground. The showers were ok could use a little upgrade. The sites were nice and well-maintained. Would love to have water and electricity at every site since it get so hot. We were in a tent but could have used a fan to sleep with and during the day. People were hanging out in the bathroom for the ac

It was a good experience

What a wonderful campground! Very close to the bathrooms, which were extremely clean (and air conditioned, so nice in the heat!). Water easy to get for camp. Used campstore to purchase ice.
A doe came thru our campsite, much to the delight of my kid!

This was well worth the drive from Florida. I used to live in the state, but do not remember the tour. I took when I was younger than five years old. Decided to come back and visit some friends and stayed in a tent site. Saw a deer walk through my campsite, which was very exciting to me. Also hadn’t seen fireflies in so long that I thought I was seeing spots before my eyes from standing up too quickly until I realized that it was lightning bugs lol. No electricity at the site but within a very short walk of a bathroom. The laundry room and showers were adequate, but just make sure you bring enough quarters or have singles for getting change. The tour I took at the cave was fantastic and just as strenuous as they said, it would be in the description.. It was hot and muggy in July, but the cave was a pleasantly cool experience that I will definitely repeat in the future when I come back to visit again.

We camped one night, and had to find a hotel the second night. There were a lot of dead tree limbs above our campground, and due to the heavy rain, one massive limb fell about 10 ft. from where our tent was set up. They offered for us to move to a different site, but we had already packed up to leave. The campground was well equipped, the bathrooms were very clean as well as the showers and laundry area.

I’ve never seen bathrooms so clean in a campground.

Bathrooms were very clean.

We just did a short trip but it was so beautiful!!

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!
