The area was very nice but not having a dump station near by without having to travel the 50 minutes back to the other side of the park due to not being able to cross the ferry in the RV was the only down side. Otherwise the area was well maintained. Also, you have to enter the side of the camping area marked “do not enter” otherwise you wouldn’t be able to back into the site.

I love mammoth cave. The staff is amazing. And I want to give this trip a good review how ever the camp site was way below standard.
When we arrived there was a large mound of construction sand. The picnic tables had all been removed, which was important to us because I am pregnant and cooking and preparing food for our kids is difficult enough without having to makeshift surfaces. But not only were they removed they weren't removed completely so there were big slabs of concrete with exposed bolts in them as well as a hole ( I assume that's what the sand was for but it hadn't been filled)
Which again with kids it wasn't very comfortable having to worry about them tripping in the hole and smacking their head on the cement or worse with those bolts.
We had booked for four days but only stayed the one night then left. Which again was disappointing because I love this park so much and have visited many times.
I do recommend Mammoth cave. I will absolutely try staying in the campgrounds again. How ever this trip was a big disappointment.

Each site had plenty of space and our kids were able to run around. Nice trails to walk and cycle. Picturesque and quiet.
