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

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.

Everything was clean and well maintained at the campground. Pleasantly surprised that there were not many bugs either.

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.

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

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!

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.
