What a wonderful campground! Very close to the bathrooms, which were extremely clean (and air conditioned, so nice in the heat!). Water easy to get for camp. Used campstore to purchase ice. A doe came thru our campsite, much to the delight of my kid!

We camped one night, and had to find a hotel the second night. There were a lot of dead tree limbs above our campground, and due to the heavy rain, one massive limb fell about 10 ft. from where our tent was set up. They offered for us to move to a different site, but we had already packed up to leave. The campground was well equipped, the bathrooms were very clean as well as the showers and laundry area.

This was well worth the drive from Florida. I used to live in the state, but do not remember the tour. I took when I was younger than five years old. Decided to come back and visit some friends and stayed in a tent site. Saw a deer walk through my campsite, which was very exciting to me. Also hadnt seen fireflies in so long that I thought I was seeing spots before my eyes from standing up too quickly until I realized that it was lightning bugs lol. No electricity at the site but within a very short walk of a bathroom. The laundry room and showers were adequate, but just make sure you bring enough quarters or have singles for getting change. The tour I took at the cave was fantastic and just as strenuous as they said, it would be in the description.. It was hot and muggy in July, but the cave was a pleasantly cool experience that I will definitely repeat in the future when I come back to visit again.

Ive never seen bathrooms so clean in a campground.
@AdamJ6CA3CAE9A · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #24
Bathrooms were very clean.

Cave tour was great.
@LeahS2976135 · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #72
Site was flat. Neighbors were great. Proximity to tours unbeatable.
@NicoleZD418E39 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #105
Everything was clean and well maintained at the campground. Pleasantly surprised that there were not many bugs either.
@KathleenF58923 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #G1
We had a great time. We camped in the group, tent only area of Mammoth Cave campground and had easy access to everything by walking. The guides were wonderful.
@JerryC3010960 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #11
Overall, not a good experience. We were immediately met with a bad attitude attendant upon arrival. Our site was unlevel with no clear tent pad. The mens bathrooms were always filthy. The visitors center was well overpriced. Both restaurants in the lodge serve mediocre food for fine dining prices. The campground has a store, but it is separate from the campground. The people that work there are rude. Expect to pay 3 to 4 times the normal price. There are showers and laundry facilities at the store. Again, expect to pay an exorbitant price for both. We would recommend only coming for the tours, not to camp. We would recommend camping in the nearby areas and commuting to the park itself. There are cheaper campgrounds with full hookups and cleaner amenities close to Mammoth Caves.

Campground was quite full but everyone was considerate. Lots of hiking/biking right from the campground and the cave tours are amazing! Great staff put the finishing touch to a wonderful trip.
@JasmineD1D5F2C · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #28
The park was easy to find, had very clear instructions posted at the entrance when I arrived after hours, and the sites were well mapped and marked. The campground was clean and well designed. My visit was pleasant and enjoyable and I really appreciate how accessible it was!
@LizL9773236 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #40
Campsites were great - we tent camped in section B. Visitor center was very nice with much information. Trail heads were hard to follow on some of the more obscure trails. Cave tours were exceptional.Store hours were very limited. Overall very good experience
@GiftsonS8A6677 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #G9
We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed it. It was very close to the water station and rest room which was very convenient. Heard lot of wild life activities in the night. The rest room is small and might get crowded if the camp ground is full.
@TimothyL290617 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #3
We had an incredible visit to Mammoth Cave and the campground! In addition to the fascinating cave tour, the camp had nice little details, like small signs indicating which caves and chambers were below us. We wrote all about our stay during our cross-country trip here: https://toebox.substack.com/p/day-three-dripstones-and-raccoonsThe showers, laundry, and camp store -- complete with wondeful staff full of useful information (and a solid wifi connection) also made the stay comfortable and restful--which was just what we needed. Enjoy this very special place!
@MaryS3622227 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #14
Close to national parks activities. Bathrooms, showers, laundry, restaurants all good. Rangers friendly and helpful
@Katherine50153 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #99
We had a great stay at the main campground. It was clean and we had plenty of space. For fun we did the Wild Cave Tour. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. We loved it! Alex and Taylor were fantastic guides.
@LucasA308E2DA9 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #65
great facilities, knowledgeable guides, make sure to book tours in advance of showing up at the park
@JessicaJ42A3FD · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #99
Very clean bathrooms. Site had significant step down and a rock by the picnic table I continued to trip on. Location caused water from rain to drain through this site.
@NicholasS29081 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #56
Great campsite. Shady, close to amenities, stars are wonderful.
@MatthewB318226 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #102
Campground is very family friendly.
@whitneyg558533 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #76
We had a great tent camping experience! We loved the shaded camp site and the proximity to the visitors center. The facilities were also clean and a quick walk from our camp site. We will definitely return to this camp ground!
@Catherine6A5A4 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #57
Tons of bugs. Very hot and not allowed a generator or hook ups. Did not sleep at all being so hot. Definitely would not sit outside at night with so many mosquitoes. Site was tricky to back into.
@CraigD9937423 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #31
Clean campground. Have to drive a short distance to the showers but they were clean and cheap

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.
