Site didn't have electricity. Was not informed when speaking with RECREATION.gov agent. Asked to speak with agent after spending 30 minutes trying to use RECREATION.gov website to make reservation. At Park while taking with campground host I was stung by a wasp. With more wasps flying around I was attempting to talk with campground host (who was inside) while I was standing outside. Host did not offer shelter from wasps. I abandoned conversation. It was late afternoon. Host said his shift was over in 10 minutes. Nearest possible alternative campsites were 30 miles away.

We did two tours - The Frozen Niagara and The Grand Historical Tour. I would recommend these two in combination as they show very different parts of the cave. The Frozen Niagara is in an active portion of the cave, meaning that there is a lot of water and it is still forming. It is very decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and draperies. The majority of Mammoth Cave does not look like this.
The Grand Historical tour was long - 4 hours - but we entered the cave via the Historical Entrance and learned a lot about the history of the cave. We also saw a lot of portions that are covered on smaller, more narrowly focused tours.

The campground was quiet, tidy and beautiful, the restrooms were spotless. Solid cement picnic table and a nice fire ring with grill option. We visited in late October and the foliage was in full swing. Had a great stay! Truly the cleanest restrooms I have seen in a campground!

Campsite was great, cave tour excellent. Coin showers a pain to use but otherwise OK

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mammoth Caves NP! All park rangers and workers were knowledgeable and professional. The campground, however, is due for a major upgrade although we were lucky enough to stay in one of only two full service campsites. The tours were great and reasonably priced although we found it ironic that the “Accessible” tour was actually unaccessible to anyone that did not have their own vehicle. We did not as we arrived in a large motorhome.

The spot we were in was quite uneven and on an odd small loop. So many campfires that you breathed smoke through the night.

Enjoyed the trails close to the campground.
Wish the Heritage Trail signs and map were more clear.
The campground was quiet and clean.

A lot of campsites are crowded with others, and finding a level one is a challenge. Loop B is best, but closes early.
