My husband, son and I were very happy with this campground. We stayed in site number 3. When we got there, it was raining and it was flooded in the corner of the site but eventually drained. There are flushable toilets and portable water. The store was very close, but they dont carry much. If you plan on cooking youre better off bringing what you need. The visitor center and lodge were about 8 minutes walking. The campground was very peaceful and we got to see deer, wild turkeys, and different types of birds. Our overall experience was great, just look out for ticks.

Camp sites were well taken care of. Quarter machine at the shower house was broken, but thankfully we brought plenty. Camp store was well stocked with random essentials and some sweet treats. Bathrooms near the site were clean and well lit. Rangers regularly driving by every once in a while made it seem very safe and family oriented. Visitors center was clean, and cave tour was great with a fun tour guide. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our tour and the tour guide was great!
@AnnabellO0EAC6 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #78
Beautiful, wooded campground in walking distance to the visitor's center and start of the cave tours. There is also a camp store with showers and even a tiny post office. We really enjoyed our stay!

Would have liked to spent more time in the cave
@HeatherH640042 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #2
Beautiful campground! Wish it had regular not coin-operated showers and a place to wash dishes.
@SylvainM6DD758 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #59
We were having more noises than downtown New York with all the generators in operation to charge the batteries. Amazing. This was really bad. You go camping to relax and not being harassed by heavy constant noises. They should have zones with generators free. People were leaving in the morning to visit caves and their generators were in operation ALL DAY LONG. Very bad experience with this campground.
@HeatherR735151 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #33
Great camp setup with everything within convenient walking and driving distance! Late spring was a fantastic time to visit!
@MatthewW543034 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #88
Campground was great.
@ThomasL2772337 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #14
The sites were spaced far enough to offer privacy. Check-in was super easy and the campsite was well laid out. Restrooms were very clean and plenty of water spigots throughout the campground.
@TandaMCE5C3E1F · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #24
Quiet, clean campground with all the necessary amenities and close to the visitor center.
@CodyC2927596 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #3
Nice campground, conveniently located. The lodge restaurant was delicious. All the shops were great. The Mammoth Cave system is spectacular to see. Very unique. Tour guides were great!
@JulianCD455BA7 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #110
Altogether. this was a great stay! Our campsite was 110,D. Loop D had its own bathhouse with electricity, toilets, and sinks. It was very clean, even with it being Memorial Day Weekend and the park being super busy. This loop is right beside the camp store that has the showers, laundry, extra bathrooms, and a little store. The camp store had the basic items that you might forget or need on your trip: bug spray, firewood, spatula, etc. The firewood felt expensive for how small a bundle it was, but its expected on a busy weekend. It was also within walking distance to the visitor center which is really nice considering parking gets limited throughout the day. Campsite it definitely not level so beware of how big a tent you bring or if you use a camper. I would recommend this campsite to a friend.
@WilliamP724185 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #5
My individual campsite was very nice. Gravel pad was large and clean. Bathroom was spotless! No cell service meant no outside interruptions!
@TinaL1125157 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #19
Sites are shaded and relatively private. The restrooms and showers were clean and well stocked. The drinking water tastes good and is clear. All around it was a great experience!
@PaulaE94010496 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #54
Very well-maintained lot. Close to the main road into the campground and restrooms/trash facilities. We were camping in a tent, and this loop has RV camping, so be aware that many turn on their generators at 8 am. If you are a light sleeper, you might prefer a spot in Loop A, which is only tents.
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #100
Lots of shade. Should provide some relief in hot summer days. Also means no starlink connection though. For that, nearby day use areas are prettier and have plenty access to clear sky.
@DUANER6180432 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #45
Many sites are tight, but for our 24' trailer, it was not a problem. Verify length of the site before choosing a site for a 5th-wheel or motorhome.
@BenM3451919 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #74
Site was extremely close to two other sites so no privacy.
@MaryM8380528 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #37
Missed having any hookups
@ZellaS8B77C275 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #86
We used the main camp grounds ...loved it when picking a spot use c loop if there has been a lot of rain. The rest flood. But there is always a bathroom close to all spots and they are cleaned daily
@KevinM8804744 · Camped on May 14, 2025 at Campsite #14
Nice location
@GregA3946377 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #36
We love to camp and hike at Mammoth Cave. The campsites are generously sized, the bathrooms are clean and convenient. We cook most of our meals, but also enjoy going to the Green River Grill at the lodge. The cave tours sell out quickly, so you might want to make reservations ahead of time. Highly recommended!
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #77
This is a beautiful park with excellent camping, nice facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and awesome cave tours.
@BoyceM88EF18AC · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #97
This was a pretty good established campground. It was nice having bathrooms nearby, and the camp store with the showers and laundry was clutch. A nice surprise with the post office. Lots of wildlife, including some very vocal turkeys at 6 AM. Being able to walk over to the visitor center was really nice as well.

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.
