We actually couldn't camp there. A huge storm came in as soon as I started setting up the tent. My 10y son who was sent to the camp bulletin board came back with the weather forecast there that the storm wouldn't stop until 2am. We opted to leave the campground and found a hotel room just a few miles east in town. The campground seems be at a perfect spot, an ideal setting top on the list compared to all other two dozen national park campgrounds we have been to. I personally would love to camp in rain and enjoy everything this experience would provide. But I was alone with two young children....Anyways, we returned to the park second day...Love Smokies!

Beautiful park, campsite worked perfectly for our SUV and small kayak trailer. Location of campgrounds is perfect for accessing the main visitors center and centrally located spots. Facilities were generally pretty clean and well maintained. Every ranger we encountered on or off camp was professional and friendly. Such amazing geography all around this area of the country, green river is beautiful, hiking is great and the NPS tours of the caves are always the highlight and the rangers who lead these are real professionals.
The public is likely the biggest issue in parks these days, but for how busy this park is it really could have been worse. We cleaned up lots of trash left on our site upon arrival, including some things that shouldn't have been in the firepit. During the day someone stole wood and kindling from our site, I guess they needed it more that us.
This was our second time to Mammoth Cave park, first at the campground and we look forward to coming back to continue exploring this massive and truly amazing place.

The campground had great shade coverage, and it was great to be able to walk to the cave tours, amphitheater, camp store, and other amenities. We camped in a tent and the tent pad was a little hard and rocky, compared to some grassy tent areas we have stayed in in the past. The convenient location of the campground was SO worth it though! The bathrooms and all the amenities were nice and clean when we were there.

Loop B the picnic tables are too close to each campsite and are encased in concrete. Parking pad on opposite end so there's no privacy whatsoever. No trees or bushes between sites. I guess I got a lucky draw because the campground was largely empty except my area. Mosquitos present so they do not spray here. Did have a tornado warning at night but it was several counties away. No cell service, no wifi. So it was a scare until I had internet to realize it wasn't that close. Had to drive to the visitor center or lodge to get free wifi. Most of the low numbered B loop sites are along the main road but there's no traffic at night. They do have a slight grade. I would be worried in a heavy storm if there was a runoff but the forecast didn't come true. I would consider coming back but definitely not to the same site.
