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

Number of accommodations: 108

We love to camp and hike at Mammoth Cave. The campsites are generously sized, the bathrooms are clean and convenient. We cook most of our meals, but also enjoy going to the Green River Grill at the lodge. The cave tours sell out quickly, so you might want to make reservations ahead of time. Highly recommended!

I enjoy this beautiful park. The campground isn’t fancy but the sites are pretty and well separated. It’s a short walk to the Visitor Center where the cave tours begin. The gift shop is nice with lots of interesting items.

Beautiful campground with clean bathrooms, a nice Visitor’s center, and the caves are interesting and super fun to explore. A lot of construction going on and many trails closed, but in a year or so this will be a top notch park.

We started out with the Extended Self-Guided Cave Tour, thinking that would offer us enough cave experience. It only whet our appetite, and we went on to take the Historic Tour, Frozen Niagara Tour, Great Onyx Lantern Tour, and Echo River Springs Walk with Ranger Miriam Matthias. We also hiked the Dixon Cave Trail, Green River Bluffs Trail, River Styx Spring Trail, Whites Cave Trail, and part of the Sinkhole Trail (up to where it was closed for construction). The Flat Hat Chats were very interesting, and the Visitor Center had great displays and education about cave formation, sinkholes, and ecology of the area.
We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and stayed until Tuesday morning. It was a wonderful trip!
