Mammoth Cave Campground

Mammoth Cave was the most amazing place I’ve ever seen. The caves were so amazing all on their own but the facilities were always clean and functional. Every employee seemed genuinely happy to be there and everyone was so helpful. I had never been to Kentucky, other than passing through, and its beauty surpassed all expectations! This was a solo trip for me and I can’t wait to bring my family back. The camping area was also wonderful! Only next time I will camp in tent only area so I won’t be near loud generators during the day.
I only got to do three tours and there is so much more I want to see there. I haven’t stopped talking about Mammoth Cave and I’m pretty sure my family is tired of hearing it. 😂 They all know about many of the cave histories and dates and events pertaining to Floyd Collins’ unfortunate end. I’ve bought a few books while there that will give me more insight to the amazing area and it’s caves!

Campground shower service was terrible. Make sure you bring a lot of quarters in advance!

This review is specifically for the campground and not the park. Check-in office and hours were limited. Not a lot of patrolling of the campground. Generators of other campers not muffled and running during quiet hours. No site privacy and poor shade. Was still enjoyable, but there is a lot to be desired. No showers either, but bathrooms were fair. Water spouts are difficult to fill containers with.

Nice campground nestled among trees.

I really enjoyed ourselves. It was wonderful seeing the deer come through the camp during the day and everybody was respectful and left them alone. It was great

Our campsite D097, was alright, but is downhill from the other sites, making it prone to flooding when it rains (which happened during our stay). The water has also caused significant erosion around the parking pad leading to a drop off of up to a foot to ground level. Still a serviceable site, but could use some restoration work. Bathrooms were good. Wish the trash dumpsters were a little closer.

Angola’s the best three days! Our campsite 33b was close to a very clean bathroom which made having a roof nest on our truck the perfect place! The only thing I would recommend is that is rain is coming this site sits in a slope where all the water drains through it! It did become a mud puddle to navigate our set up supply’s.

Had a great time, even in the persistent rain. The campground was clean and quiet, and we even had some deer grazing in the empty campsite next to us!

I had a nice one night stay over Memorial Day weekend. Campground was full, but it didn’t feel full. It didn’t feel like a lot of people. My spot had lots of nice shade. It was not very level though. Overall, it was a great stay nice and close to the visitor center for my evening cave tour.

The caves were fantastic! The Campground was great.
