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.

Spent one night before going on the cave tour. Nice campground!

A very beautiful and peaceful 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

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. _

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.

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!

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #111

Wonderful campground and park. We will definitely be heading back next year to stay longer and do more.

@DanielK5B1843B · Camped on Oct 19, 2024 at Campsite #84

Great campsite!

@CaseyM20601932 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #73

The sites are nicely spaced and they located in wooded areas

@RebeccaI4D5F80 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #16

The Mammoth Cave campground within the national park was a super convenient place to stay, an easy walk to the visitor center and lodge.

@IsabellaL7922F · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #62

Campsites were clean and orderly, staff was very kind and amenities were cleaned and cared for. We had a great time, I definitely recommend the cave tours and ice cream!

@RachelT9962710 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #88

Love mammoth cave! Guides were awesome, campground was clean!

@MikeP3321518 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #85

The photos for this site dont do it justice. This site was spacious and nice and flat. The parking pad is level and was plenty long for our rig length (50 total hooksd up). Plenty of distance between sites. Clean and well kept. Good potable water fill and dump station (close to each other but separated enough so someone shouldnt confuse them) by the campground entrance.

Campsites are conveniently located near visitor center. Well stocked camp store with coin operated showers nearby. Visitors should be aware that all campsites are reserved/reservable. There are no first come/first served sites or honor system fee payment. Those arriving after hours will be prompted to call or go online to secure a campsite, which requires credit/debit card. During visitor center hours, reservations can be made there with cash, although credit/debit is preferred.

@EmilyD2011259 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #44

We had a great time at all 3 tours we took of the caves (Extended Historic, Domes and Dripstones, and Grand Avenue). We loved our guide Tyler.

@WesleyC4805851 · Camped on Oct 15, 2024 at Campsite #96

Nice campground, but a bit difficult to find a flat location for our tent. Water and restrooms were convenient, but pay showers that only work with quarters meant that two of us got 4-minute showers, and I did without. Id rather pay a few dollars more for the campsite and have free showers.

@JillH9395170 · Camped on Oct 15, 2024 at Campsite #97

Well kept campground tucked among the trees. Paths are well marked and restrooms are spotless

@CynthiaH582126 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #90

Awesome tours (Domes & Dripstones and Historical) and great tour guides for both of them. I did worry about the D&D tour having so many steps, but there were never so many at one time that it felt like it was strenuous at all. In fact, in my opinion, the Historical was a little harder than the D&D due to the amount of steps at one time right at the end. The only thing I regret is that I stayed 2 days to do the cave tours and didn't realize the beauty of this park on the surface. I missed out on some exceptional hiking trails. Will definitely have to come back.

@BrookeRE544839 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #2

We camped at the Mammoth Cave Campground, and had a nice experience. We took the Frozen Niagara cave tour, and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Mammoth Cave!

@DamonS06EA91C2 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #68

Our campsite was maintained well. All the facilities were well maintained. The cave tour we took was led by a very friendly and extremely patient guide, who answered all questions of our very curious grandson.

@WandaS09DA8622 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #45

I've been coming here my entire life and it is always top notch and so fun.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
