Maple Springs

Beautiful, secluded, and quiet. The area was very clean, and the visit was relaxing.

Maple Springs is a lovely campground with just 7 level sites available - some with water and electric. In this group campground there is plenty of room for several vehicles, tents, campers/rvs. It was generally quiet, There are pit toilets. NO showers. NO dump site.
To access the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center and cave tour starts from this campground one needs to drive and take a ferry over the river. BUT RVs and trailers can not go on the ferry. This means a 40 minute drive from the campsite around the west side of the park to the visitor center, camp store, dump station, and tour departure site.

The best part of our camping experience was the distance between campsites. Plenty of space between other campers. Its a secluded campground with only 7 sites, so no traffic unless you are camping there. We were there with a group and had campsites 001, 003, and 005 rented and could have had up to 24 people per campsites, which was fun

Negatives: there is NO dumping station for campers, there is NO shower house, there were multiple areas with steel rods sporadically sticking up out of the ground(i assume where Picknick tables used to be). This was very dangerous, especially at night as there are no lights whatsoever on the whole campground and none of these areas were markered. The breaker kept tripping on the electrical box. Campsites 001 does not have its own breaker box so when the electric went out we were without power overnight because no one would answer the number listed for campground despite multiple messages left.

Despite multiple negatives I would stay here again as a group.

No sewer, ferry not large enough forRv

The group campsite has no dump station. Other than that, it was a good site.

Huge campsite with electric and water. Lots of picnic tables and two fire pits were included. Great separation from other campers and a super quiet environment.

Quiet and perfectly located to hiking, Mountain biking and the mammoth cave visitor’s center.

It was a great experience all around. It would have been helpful to know that there wouldn't be an after-hours check-in person on site. The cave tours are amazing! There is so much to do in the park, give yourself extra time to soak in all the beauty it has to offer!

I have always loved going to maple Springs Campground, we have been there every year spring and fall for 6 years. Im glad they put more electric sites in. I love the big sites room for my grand-kids to play. however this year we were a little disappointed, we were on site #1
the 50 Amp electric did not work. we were in our motor home so we kinda needed it. We could not run microwave or air without kicking 30 Amp. i called and left messages but no one contacted me back. i hope the person camping in that site after us did not need a 50 amp.
I will be back but will ensure site is in working order first.

Very nice campsite, good elec and water equipment + concrete picnic table, fire rings and some wood. No ranger in park. Was a bit isolated. Very quiet and peaceful.
