Grounds are nice. Lots of campers. The showers and laundry require quarters, and there is no ATM, but there is a change machine that will give you change for $1 and $5. The camp grocery store has great little breakfast sandwiches too.

The campground was clean, quiet and close to the tours we were interested in.
Very nice. Bring quarters for the showers.

I could not bring myself to shower in the coin operated showers at Mammoth Cave Campground, and I desperately needed a shower from the heat. Instead I wiped down by a bathroom sink. The shower stalls appeared filthy, and to pay $1.50 for a 4.5 minutes where the temperature of the water could not be controlled, seemed like extortion from weary travelers. Of course the tour of the cave system was amazing and so I suspect the campground does not have much incentive to improve since it is convenient for those touring the cave to use the Mammoth Cave Campground.
A tour of the Kentucky State Capital was beautiful and highly recommended.
