First of all, the campgrounds need a total overhaul. Many sites want you to go one way but that puts your door on the wrong side of the site -- next to the road or the fire pit and table on the wrong side. The bathrooms need updating with showers. Having to go to the campstore and pay for gross looking showers there with quarters is VERY out of date. They have great bike trails except for the bigger rock they use on most of them instead of crushed limestone. the grounds are nice by the visitors center. We went for a hike by the visitors center and found that signs were not secured in the ground and anyone could face them the wrong way. You have a great park, just make updates and include electric on more sites also. Thank you

Perfect for location visiting mammoth caves. Daniel the ranger was so helpful in finding an alternative site for us when we had to move

We loved the location of the campground and how close it is to the visitor center and hiking/biking trails. Our stay was during spring break so the kayak outfitters were not up and running yet but there was still plenty to do and see. Some of the campsites were close together, but most are pleasantly spaced out. The bathrooms were very clean, but they are small considering there is only one set per loop. I could see that being a slight hassle during peak season. The cave tours were epic and definitely live up to its namesake. Even though it was "off season" they still had a good variety of tours (buy tickets in advance!) We only stayed 3 nights so we didn't get to explore the entirety of the park grounds, definitely would recommend staying longer if you want to see it all!

What a fantastic campground! Plenty of good biking trails and nature walks to be had. The sites were large and there is plenty of space in between to spread out with a hammock or chairs. A very safe place for the kids to roam and cycle about. Restrooms were clean and showers had nice hot water.

Staying at the Mammoth Cave Campground was a great experience. The man at the check in booth was imformative and very helpful. We had a great campsite and was within walking distance of the bathroom and supply store. Hiking trails were connected to the campground and were very fun. The campground was quiet and we even had a campfire and smores. We would definitely stay here again.

A must see for any budding geologist, and quite frankly anyone. It’s hard to explain the vastness of the caves. The campground was super, as were the people who ran the shop and visitors center. A return visit is in the works.

Facilities were all clean, the sites were surprisingly large, park employees were quite helpful and friendly, it was great to be within walking distance of the visitor center, and the wifi in the campground was an unexpected bonus! Hopefully we can visit again soon!
