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 miles 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 miles of hiking and biking trails, and is just a five-minute walk to the Visitor Center, where cave tours begin

We loved being at this campground, the pay for showers were fine but nothing great. The staff was all super helpful and the place was quiet. My son and I really enjoyed the cave tour also.

My husband and I were only there for one night, but it was a pleasant one. The campground is well laid out and quite full of people, especially families. We were there on a Friday night though, so I suppose that is to be expected. Nice bathrooms. No showers in the campground, although coin operated ones were nearby. Our only complaint is the little RV nearby was running it's loud generator while the lady sat outside and smoked her cigarettes. Folks like that should just stay at home and leave the peacefulness of nature to those trying to enjoy it.

Really great sites for hammock camping. Campground was peaceful despite being full when I stayed. Wonderful nearby trails and night event put on by the park staff. Campground host, nearby store - every person I encountered was amazing. Be ready for no cell service and bring quarters/cash for the showers.

The lack of electricity in the campgrounds is really disappointing. And toilets and urinals were out of service continually during our stay. A lot of money is being spent on high-cost, luxury accommodation in the park. Please put some money into the campground.

Campsite big and generous and full of shade. Staff was friendly and lodge and welcome center had many wonderful amenities. Cave tours exceptional too!

We enjoyed our stay here. Site #90 is super close to a bathroom, the camp store and the showers (which are attached to the camp store). The camp store is ridiculously over priced so skip it, especially for ice. The coin showers are fine. Small but good water pressure. Bathrooms are always quite clean. The location is amazing. No need to drive to see the visitor center or to go on your cave tours. You can walk. Parking at the center is a nightmare on weekends. The squirrels ate through plastic bins (like literally through the thick plastic) to get to food so lock it all up in your car. They have no fear! Rookie move on my part. Quiet hours are not enforced at all. Kids are up screaming until midnight and/or at 6:00 in the morning. Be prepared. We would stay again since the stay was overall quite nice.

Cute spot! I wouldn’t say it is the most private, but such is life in campgrounds.
