Mammoth Cave Campground

The photos for this site don’t do it justice. This site was spacious and nice and flat. The parking pad is level and was plenty long for our rig length (50’ total hooksd up). Plenty of distance between sites. Clean and well kept. Good potable water fill and dump station (close to each other but separated enough so someone shouldn’t confuse them) by the campground entrance.

Campsites are conveniently located near visitor center. Well stocked camp store with coin operated showers nearby. Visitors should be aware that all campsites are reserved/reservable. There are no first come/first served sites or honor system fee payment. Those arriving after hours will be prompted to call or go online to secure a campsite, which requires credit/debit card. During visitor center hours, reservations can be made there with cash, although credit/debit is preferred.

We had a great time at all 3 tours we took of the caves (Extended Historic, Domes and Dripstones, and Grand Avenue). We loved our guide Tyler.

We camped at the Mammoth Cave Campground, and had a nice experience. We took the Frozen Niagara cave tour, and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Mammoth Cave!

Gorgeous grounds, amazing tent site, super quiet at night and sooooo dark! I can't wait to return!

Nice campground, but a bit difficult to find a flat location for our tent. Water and restrooms were convenient, but pay showers that only work with quarters meant that two of us got 4-minute showers, and I did without. I’d rather pay a few dollars more for the campsite and have free showers.

I've been coming here my entire life and it is always top notch and so fun.

The campground is nice. Well laid out. I use a tent and on both campsites, had a flat smooth place to sleep. The staff was excellent in helping make a last minute reservation. No complaints.

Right next door to the caves and visitors center. Excellent place to stay while you’re doing the caves.

We were expecting to have showers at each campground loop, None... Long walk to campground store, then only 2 showers available for an additional $1.50 for 4 minutes. Interior of campground bathrooms almost needs updating. No electric at campsites either. Disappointing. Our national park here at Sleeping Bear Platte river campground has extremely nice restrooms and showers, free. And 3 of the 4 camping loops have electricity hookups.
I did like the system where it notifies us when there are openings in the tours. We were very surprised to find all tours booked up for the weekend as we had no idea that they have 'fall break" at the schools down there, and it was very busy. It was a beautiful time of year to visit the park, with nice weather too.
