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

Number of accommodations: 108

I totally appreciate being able to make a last minute on-line reservation at your park. Unlike some States. Even when no park personnel are around. I was passing through the area after dark in the rain and got tired. You provided me with safe harbor to park and sleep. Without boondocking in some unknown parking lot that may have been unsafe, even though I am fully self contained.

Camping during the shutdown was less than ideal, still nice but lacking in several respects.

Planning the trip 6 months in advance leaves little choice but to go on the trip, which was limited in regards to facilities access including the cave system. Also the camp area was very messy with leaves and branches and acorns everywhere. It did not seem as though the site selection was really being tracked….

Mammoth Cave NP is an incredible destination for visitors of all ages. Campground site was large and well maintained with clean restrooms- with hot water. Wish there were showers but there’s a camp store that offers showers.

Tent only camping lot 007 was perfect for two tents and two cars. Close to restrooms and pretty view to the back.
