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 mi 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 mi of hiking and biking trails, and is just a five-minute walk to the Visitor Center, where cave tours begin

great national park. my particular campsite wasn't very good for a tent very little level ground. suggest looking at offered site before accepting it. Hiking trails poorly marked, they are in need of new signs especially where several trails cross. I did the extended historic tour, the lantern tour, and violet city. unfortunately had a screaming toddler on the historic tour which made it less enjoyable. recommend the lantern tour as there is an age limit of 6 and above. Park itself very clean and well maintained. All the rangers and employees are friendly and helpful which makes for a good visit. will definitely go back and do some of the other cave tours. overall a great experience

Was disappointed in the fact there were no showers in the actual campground and the ones close by you had to pay for. It was $1.50 for 4 minutes which is NOT enough time fully clean yourself. Besides that I did enjoy the campground and being close to the visitors center. Saw lots of wildlife during my stay here. It did rain as well and my site was pretty level so no big puddles and that’s always nice not having to worry about.

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.
