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 site was great. The showers were okay, but you have to remember to bring money for them. Beautiful place for walking and relaxing.

Camp site was very quiet, clean and shaded. Trees and shrubs at the camp site provided privacy between the sites. Asphalt pull through and back in sites were level. Primitive site - no electricity or water at most campsites; however, dump station and water fill available. We enjoyed our 2 night stay and would definitely come back again.

Thanks to the check in clerk who helped us make sure we got a site that worked for our vehicle. Did not like the construction that made it so difficult to walk to the visitors center. Wish it wasn’t so hot when we were there, although that wasn’t your fault. We left early because of the heat.

The park rangers are always so friendly, they even drive around the campsite to make sure everyone is okay, seizing the rangers to make sure the bathrooms are clean and they were very clean and the automatic lights that come on yo light up the path
There is a lot of gift shops and sites to see
I can't wait to come back
