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

Our experience at Mammoth Cave was excellent. the campground was nice, although some sites had some standing water to the amount of rain we had. The cave tours were awesome! We loved the Grand Avenue tour and learned so much from our excellent guide Taylor. His vast knowledge, commitment and love for the park made the experience special. We decided to take another tour the next day and were very happy to have Taylor as the guide again. The hiking trails are beautiful. I hope to return to Mammoth Cave int he future!

Beautiful, peaceful campground only a short walk from the visitor's center. We looked into staying at other campsites in the area, but the convenience of staying at Mammoth Cave Campground the night before our morning cave tour was easy and fun!

We really enjoyed our two nights at this spot. It's close to basically everything you want when camping - restrooms, water pumps, convenience store, visitor center, and a number of trails. The spot for our tent was nice and flat, and everyone around us was welcoming and undisruptive. It's far enough from the main entrance to not have a ton of vehicles passing through. We'd definitely stay here again in the future.

Campground itself was super; well-maintained, level sites with appropriate isolation. Grills in good working order. Ample trash receptacles. Showers just OK, since half of the money spent went to just heat the water; charging less or giving more time could be the remedy. A constant flow hot water system would be prohibitively expensive.

The Historical Tour was well worth it. The Mammoth Dome was defiantly the highlight.

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
