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

Summary

Mammoth Cave Campground offers beautiful, well-maintained sites with ample tree cover, providing a quiet and peaceful camping experience. Campers appreciate the convenient access to the visitor center and various trails, along with friendly and attentive staff. While some facilities, like bathrooms and showers, could benefit from updates, the overall cleanliness and spaciousness of the campground make it a favorable choice for visitors.
This is a standard rustic NP campground. Most of the sites are shady and have good separation from the neighbors. The campground is within easy walking distance of several trails, the visitor center, and cave tours. The Cavers Camp store is very close and has unlimited refills on coffee and many items you might want while camping.
One downside - although the bathrooms in the campground have flush toilets and sinks, there are no showers. There are coin operated showers at the Cavers Camp store. They only take quarters - no credit card option. Also, this is a rustic campground - no electricity or water/sewer, so plan accordingly.
If you want firewood, head toward Cave City. There are several options. We found one spot selling it by the wheelbarrow load.
2d weekend at Mammoth Cave Camp ground. We like the layout and privacy of the individual sites. You feel like you are camping in the woods with the convenience of car camping. Even on a packed weekend, it was quiet and relaxing. Lots of trees to keep hot days cool. Only wish their was industrial dishwashing sinks/area.

Surprised at the great campground and excellent cave tour!
I’m writing this review specifically about this campsite. If the map doesn’t make it clear, this spot is right beside a bathroom. Some people like this, others don’t. It was fine, I never noticed people coming or going. The site as a very slight grade to it but is mostly flat. I looked at other sites while I was there and I think it’d be the same elsewhere. This site will work well if you want to put up a hammock. Any of the sites you choose in this loop will be easy to walk to the general store, assuming you don’t have mobility issues to account for. There is a potable water hook up by the general store as well. There might be a hook up closer to the site, but if there was, I overlooked it. Walking to the cave is also very doable from here. It’s close to trails as well and overall just a really nice place to camp. As for the facilities, the bathrooms by the campsite are clean and well-kept. The showers, which are over by the general store are very, very old and coin operated. The water pressure and temperature were fine though. I didn’t use the laundry facility but the prices are very reasonable and the units appear to be average.
The price is good for what's offered - there are plenty of bathhouses and they are all very clean. The campsites are very big and there is plenty of privacy. The coin showers are fine and a fair price, extra star for the available laundry machines and post office!

Note: Do not rely exclusively on your mobile GPS, Google Maps or similar automated navigation systems to get to the Mammoth Cave Campground. Routes can be misleading and incorrect.
Directions from the North: Take Interstate 65 to Exit 53 (Cave City Exit). Turn right onto KY-70. Follow 70/255 as it becomes the Mammoth Cave Parkway in the park. Follow the Mammoth Cave Parkway towards the Visitor Center. Turn left into the campground by the Cavers Camp Store.
Directions from the South: Take Interstate 65 to Exit 48 (Park City Exit). Turn left onto KY-255 and follow 255 as it becomes the Park City Road into the park. Follow Park City Road until it joins the Mammoth Cave Parkway; turn left. Follow the Mammoth Cave Parkway towards the Visitor Center. Turn left into the campground by the Cavers Camp Store.
The campground is accessible via Interstate 65, with exits at Cave City (Exit 53) and Park City (Exit 48) leading to KY-70 and KY-255, respectively. These highways connect to the Mammoth Cave Parkway, which provides access to the campground.
