Nothing wrong to say about this place! Restrooms clean.
@BettinaE1BFA79 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #7
Tent only camping lot 007 was perfect for two tents and two cars. Close to restrooms and pretty view to the back.

Enjoyed our long weekend at Mammoth Caves. We werent able to go on our guided cave tours (gov shut down) but we plan to come back again for that experience!

The website was near impossible to book as it kept timing out due to my senior lifetime pass and then it said I had three bookings when I only wanted to book one. Luckily there was a guy at the kiosk so I could pay that wayI also booked a site back in April and another couple turned up and said they had already booked it. They were very rude as I was already set up. There was no cell service so could t show my April receipts the kiosk guy couldnt find it in the system either

Park was great. Restrooms were very clean. Enjoyed the trails. The restaurant at the Lodge was very good.
@LarryR5427320 · Camped on Oct 11, 2025 at Campsite #10
No issues, space had plenty of room. Definitely would stay here again.
@AliceAC21997B9 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #3
We camped at site 3. It was in a great location close to the camp store and restrooms. Perfect for kids. As lifelong visitors of Mammoth Cave, we enjoyed our favorites including walking to the Lodge and the Green River Bluffs trail.
@BrianM6776107 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #63
great campground, was very quiet during the week but did fill up during the weekend, not sure if this is the normal pattern or because of the gov't shutdown, but would definitely visit again
@CynthiaB470794 · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #67
The campground was clean and welcoming, even during the shutdown. The park rangers were doing everything they could to make things available. Hiking was great and volunteers in the area were around to inform visitors of the surrounding private cave tours. I look forward to returning to Mammoth Cave when the park system is open. Thank you National Parks and the rangers that keep it safe and open
@Alexandra37836 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #101
Beautiful quiet campground with very welcoming staff. Trails were alot of fun for the family. Will definitely be back to do the official tour since this visit the govt was shut down. Support our parks!
@CatherineF9963 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #89
Large shaded sites, clean bathrooms, easy access.

@SonyaC1A3ABF8C · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #97
Clean, quiet and close to the caving activities.
@ElsieA1B3E22D7 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #38
We loved our stay at Mammoth Cave Campground. It was very close to the Visitors center. It was very wooded and beautiful and the price was great with our daughters America The Beautiful Disability pass.
@NovaB4EC393FB9 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #51
This is our favorite place to camp. The campground is beautiful and has great amenities on site. My only complaint is that there were a lot of loud, screaming guests in the campground that made it difficult to enjoy what is supposed to be a peaceful experience.
@RitaR805CB6893 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #34
Hiking trails begin right at the campground, easy walk to cave tours, restaurant and other amenities. Love it!
@ShaineM20EE755 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #59
Great campground ! The showers are pay though so I didnt check out those but the bathrooms were clean !
@SarahG7471679 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #45
Our campsite was clean, perfect for tent or RV camping and had enough space between it and the neighboring sites to feel like you werent right on top of other campers. Our site had perfect trees for setting up hammocks! The campground was a short walking/biking distance to the visitors center with easy to find and use paths that are accessible for those who need a smooth flat surface to walk. We enjoyed biking to all our tours!
@DerryDA423301D · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #78
We did the domes and dripstones tour with a 9 year old. It was great.
@MurrayM1735462 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #49
Campground was nice - especially during the weekdays. Weekends were crowded and a bit loud. The park rangers in the cave tours were lovely. They really have a zeal for what they do and it shows!
@AlmaF561109898 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #77
Campsite was pretty much level, a pull-thru. Well taken of, clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Very convenient to Mammoth Cave. Trails are close by to take a walk on.
@PattiF3794712 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #65
Great, clean CG. No opportunity to use solar panels. Cavers store had a few items, no fresh fruit/veggies. Easy walk from CG to Visitor Center to take guided cave tours. Bring your Senior Pass to the VC for your 50% discount on cave tours. It is a great National Park!
@DaltonM0374AEF · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #78
The sites near the cave are closer together than I would like as a tent camper. This is outweighed by the proximity to the camp store and visitor center (walking distance for some). The bathrooms were clean. Noise was non-existent at night. I felt safe. No complaints. I would absolutely camp here again. I just wish more of the tours were open later in September and October. I understand there are capacity issues however.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
