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

The sites were clean and easy to get to. The coin showers worked great. It was a pretty easy walk from the campground to the lodge and cave.

The camp ground was beautiful and well cared for. Spacing between camp sites was adequate. Some of the usual trails were out of commission, but tbe scenery was gorgeous! We are planning to come out again soon!

We got a tent site and it was very nice: spacious and level with a concrete picnic table and fire pit with a grate. The sites are well spaced but lack of foliage did make us feel a bit exposed.

We had a perfect weather weekend for camping so this helped our experience be even better. It was quiet and peaceful. We appreciated the pay showers at back of the general store. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed paddling the green river nearby and used Adventures of Mammoth Cave to transport us for drop off and pick up. Firewood and ice was pricey but appreciate general store had both. We did a few hikes and Cedar Sink was our favorite. We enjoyed our 3 night stay.

We had an excellent time at Mammoth Cave. Our family spent three nights camping there and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We also had a fantastic cave tour and enjoyed the Carter Sink hole and hikes by the Green River. Thank you for allowing us to see such a beautiful and interesting part of the world!
