Great spot. The campground was very quiet. The only downside was the showers at the camp store were cold. No hot water except in the sink.

helpful staff.

Everything was perfect! Literally every person we talked to was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The facilities were pristine and the lodgewow! I had no idea it was so nice and offered so much! Camp grounds were well kept and so were the bathrooms, showers and store. We cant wait to go back!!

I had a fantastic experience at Mammoth Cave Campground! The campground was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. The atmosphere was quiet and serene, allowing for a relaxing stay surrounded by nature. The rangers were incredibly helpful and friendly, always available to answer any questions and provide great recommendations for things to do in the area. Whether youre looking to explore the caves or simply enjoy the outdoors, this campground is a great choice. Highly recommend!

Awesome campground, even with the camp store closed for the season.
@josec1870712 · Camped on Nov 24, 2024 at Campsite #111
Trails above the surface and very nice cave systems. Nice campground with no electric. Close to visitor center where they have a restaurant and coffee shop.
@SkylerRCA3E99E · Camped on Nov 24, 2024 at Campsite #62
Wonderful campground with nice parking, fire rings and picnic tables all within the campsite. Facilities are conveniently located nearby all sites.

Ranger Aaron was fantastic. Such a great experience for the whole family.
@ALLENC9054539 · Camped on Nov 18, 2024 at Campsite #100
Great campsite! Walkable distance to the Visitor's Center and Lodge. Clean bathrooms! If you visit, definitely check out the Historic Cave Tour and many others offered around Mammoth Cave National Park. We camped in November which meant cooler temperatures and far smaller crowds.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Mammoth Cave National Park for 6 nights in mid November. The 1st 3 nights we stayed in a tent at the campground by the visiters center. The campsite was plently big enough for our 4 person tent and the campfire and picnic bench was great for all our needs. We also stayed near one of the restrooms and they were very clean. We took showers at the campers store with a coin operated shower ($1:50 for 4-1/2 minutes, plus a quarter for each additional 30 seconds if I remember correctly). It was a quick walk back and forth to the visitor's center where you purchase cave tour tickets. We did the Mammoth Cave tour and the dripstone tour. The last 3 nights we stayed at the lodge, which was nice because it had heat and AC, as well as our own private shower. Overall our experience was great all week and I hope to return again soon!

My wife and I visited Mammoth Cave National Park for three days in our campervan with our two dogs, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience! We stayed in Campground Loop C, which was peaceful and well-maintained. The sites were spacious, and the proximity to the parks trails and visitor center made it incredibly convenient.For the cave tours, we did the 4-hour Grand Avenue Tour and the 2-hour lantern-lit Great Onyx Lantern Tour. Both were amazing but completely different experiences! The Grand Avenue Tour showcased the vastness and diversity of the cave system, with jaw-dropping formations and an adventurous trek that felt like stepping into another world. Our tour guides, Brendan and Jackie were a great team and brought a ton of energy and knowledge to create an unforgettable experience. The Great Onyx Lantern Tour was more intimate and atmospheric, with the soft glow of lanterns adding a touch of mystery and history to the experience. Highly recommend doing a tour if you have the time and energy!Outside the cave, we loved walking the surface trails and taking in the beauty of the surrounding forest. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the pet-friendly areas, though they couldnt join us on the cave tours (understandable, of course).If youre visiting, bring good walking shoes for the tours and make sure to book your cave tours in advancespots fill up quickly, especially for the unique lantern-lit ones. Mammoth Cave is a must-visit for anyone who loves adventure and natural beauty!

We were happy with the sites and their size. Happy to have the shower facilities still open in November. Disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms near our site. It would be nice to have more electrical sites and better wifi.
@DavidL9154844 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #98
Spent one night before going on the cave tour. Nice campground!

Great campground, walking distance to the visitor center.
@Christian0D39E · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #96
Sites are spacious & clean! Easy access to camp store, restroom, & visitor center
@stuartm1555188 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #52
Unfortunately I stayed at the campground at the end of the season. The tent only loop was closed and someone on my loop ran their generator right across from me into the evening which was irritating. I could have complained to campground security but decided it was easier to move to another site. The campground has great ammenities - hot (pay) showers, a well supplied camp store, and easy walk to the visitor center. _
@MonroeB469CBA7 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #43
Great site, enjoyed the Campground but the site next to mine was a RV that pulled in and said their batteries are not working correctly and they need to run their loud generator. They started the generators soon as they pulled in till after 8 oclock and then the next morning at 8 AM they was back on. They said they need it for their Starlink where they can be on the Internet to watch TV. I ended up leaving early because it was so noisy.
@WyattW49B4982B · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #77
Great campground. Very clean and sites were spacious. Would camp there again. Enjoyed how it was so close to the park visitor center
@Catherine6A5A4 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #110
The night we camped without electricity was uncomfortable. We moved sites for night two and it was great.
@MaryanneR9305E · Camped on Oct 21, 2024 at Campsite #75
Gorgeous grounds, amazing tent site, super quiet at night and sooooo dark! I can't wait to return!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
