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

The caves were really cool to see and I was really happy with our campsite. The showers at the mammoth cave camp store were older and a little dingy but overall I was very happy with our experience!

No utility sink. I was told the bathroom sinks could be used. We tour many national parks and this park by far was the lowest of standings. No park for the kids. And the showers are metered which I understand. Trying to save water. But the falling apart rust bucket of the shower doors is a tetanus shot just waiting to happen.

The facilities, cave tour and camping were all fantastic. I loved that I could hike trails, walk to the visitor center and to the tour starting point from the campground. All facilities were clean and well maintained.
The cave tour and our guide was one of the best tours i have taken.

This a large campsite but due to flooding issues there was little room for any tents if they were to stay dry.

The campground was lovely! The facilities very nice and clean, having an air conditioned restroom was awesome! Loved the evening talk with the ranger about stars and constellations. Fearless squirrels raided our food kept in cardboard boxes, so next time we will be more prepared! We did the domes and dripstones tour as a family and we learn something new on every tour (this was our 4th visit). Our daughter did the Trog tour and while she was nervous to start, she ultimately LOVED it!! The visitor's center is always kept lovely, the food options are great! Having icecream available on a hot day is always a win. :)
thanks so much, I love this National Park!!!

I had two different campsites due to my last minute planning for the second night. The first was good, The second need the picnic table to be raised a bit on gravel because it was surrounded by water when it rained. A simple fix. I appreciate not being crammed in lake many private campgrounds. I don't need electric or water or sewer for my brief stays.
