Campground was quite full but everyone was considerate. Lots of hiking/biking right from the campground and the cave tours are amazing! Great staff put the finishing touch to a wonderful trip.

Overall, not a good experience. We were immediately met with a bad attitude attendant upon arrival. Our site was unlevel with no clear tent pad. The men’s bathrooms were always filthy. The visitors center was well overpriced. Both restaurants in the lodge serve mediocre food for fine dining prices. The campground has a store, but it is separate from the campground. The people that work there are rude. Expect to pay 3 to 4 times the normal price. There are showers and laundry facilities at the store. Again, expect to pay an exorbitant price for both. We would recommend only coming for the tours, not to camp. We would recommend camping in the nearby areas and commuting to the park itself. There are cheaper campgrounds with full hookups and cleaner amenities close to Mammoth Caves.

We had a great stay at the main campground. It was clean and we had plenty of space. For fun we did the Wild Cave Tour. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. We loved it! Alex and Taylor were fantastic guides.

Nice campground, not crowded at all, but no showers. You have to go to the Store on top of the hill . Would definitely go back.

Tons of bugs. Very hot and not allowed a generator or hook ups. Did not sleep at all being so hot. Definitely would not sit outside at night with so many mosquitoes. Site was tricky to back into.
