Clean and quiet. The site was rainy and wet, but we managed to figure out a dry spot to setup our small tent. The shower and store facilities were clean and had everything we needed. Including a post office. The shower change machine only took $1 and $5 bills. The park lodge and main building were walking distance away.

The campground was great! The ranger talk was very good - fossils and pseudo fossils, even with some technical difficulties since Kelley wasn’t phased at all. We liked the lighting to the amphitheater and restrooms. There were pay showers and laundry. The sites are separated enough that we didn’t feel too close to our neighbors. The campground is very close to the new Lodge and the Visitor’s Center where the cave tours leave from.

Very nice wooded area. Campground was clean, and well maintained. 21B was quite Marshy, and we were glad we did not have a tent, and that our party had 22B as well, as that site was a little less marshy. Site 21B had a level pull through so no leveling of the trailer was needed.

Loved this site except it floods during rain. Park rules not enforced (quiet time, extremely loud generator on site 73, unleashed pets).

This was our first time visiting Mammoth Cave NP and it was great. This park has no shortage of things to do, and the campgrounds are located close to the visitor's center. Bathrooms are clean with pay showers and laundry available.

We were there during a massive rain storm. We saw many people trying to do what they could to keep their tent out of the water on the site. Our site was very muddy (71). Site 70 was nice and dry. We had to pack up the next day with a lot of muddy carpets. If the campground workers made people stay on the pavement like the rules state, it wouldn't be as bad. The worst thing was that most sites were backwards. The camping side was on the wrong side of the trailer. This was a common problem all over the campground. It is very poorly designed.

Site was on a downhill slope. Wish there was a flatter area to set up the tent.

We did the Lantern Tour. The guide was an exceptional story teller and was able to bring history to life.
Camped in the Park. Campsite was level and quiet. Bathroom was clean!

The sites are tucked away in a tall forest, generous in size, mostly level, and reasonably priced. There’s a mailbox, potable water to fill your tank, a coin shower and a laundry behind the store. The Ranger who checks you into the campground is super helpful. Highly recommend. I extended my stay by a day to enjoy the location.
