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

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!

Site 046 B gets 3/5 stars because there is a huge dead tree right next to wear our tent would have been. Not safe at all for anyone, especially with 3 small children. Was unable to find any ranger or campground host to address this situation. Overall nice campground and if the dead tree is removed, the site will be excellent for a large tent. Nice spots for hammocks.

The good: A beautiful park.
The not-so-good: My site definitely got water-logged in the rain. The bathroom trash in the women's stalls was never emptied (I was there for two nights). The showers are quarter-operated which was not specified on the website when I booked. It's such a scam to pay for a campsite and also have to pay for showers.

Campsites were clean. Restrooms were clean also. Beautiful sites with plenty of room between each other.

Site was fine but had some trees that should be removed between the parking pad and table area as the RV awning could not be opened far.
Also, generators are allowed between 8am and 8pm. It was loud at times. Would prefer more limited hours.
