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

Very pleasant little campground (I was in the A loop). Campstore is very convenient. In walking distance to the visitor center, so you can leave your car behind in the shade.

The attitude of the rangers at the cave was arrogant and as if they forgot that they are paid by and work for the taxpayers. Campsites were not well kept. $1.25 for the shower was a waste of money. Won’t go back. There are other natural wonders and caves in the US to see.

The park is very well kept. I wish the campground had better showers, though. I paid $1.50 for 4 minutes of ice cold water. Brrrrr!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & visit to mammoth cave. The campground was very clean. We loved seeing deer walk right by us one evening. The cave was a once in a lifetime experience. We’ve already talked about coming back and staying longer next time!
