Beautiful campground with Mammoth Cave so close. Self guided Tour of Cave is not recommended. Stick with the guided tours.
@NancyB3949689 · Camped on Apr 20, 2026 at Campsite #62
Beautiful campground conveniently located to tours and visitors center. Some camp spots were not conducive to back-ins. Table and fire ring were on wrong side but not mentioned on line.

We had a one-night stay at Mammoth Campground and found it to be very convenient for accessing nearby and the park, which was a big plus for our trip. The location made it easy to get where we needed to go without a lot of extra driving.One area for improvement would be clearer signage for campsite assignmentsespecially for guests arriving after office hours, as it was a bit difficult to identify our spot. It would also be helpful to have access to firewood after hours, perhaps using an honor system for late arrivals.Overall, a convenient and enjoyable stay with a few opportunities to make the experience even smoother for guests.

After staying here for a few days, I had to move down the road to a commercial RV site. To say the difference was night and day is an understatement. The park was simply perfect. Peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend staying here if you can. My 25' Airstream fit without issue. Larger rigs may need to pick the site more carefully as they are not large pads and are curved.

Beautiful campground with large, level sites. Restrooms have running cold water and flush toilets. Walking path to the lodge and visitor center. Camp store located on site, but we did not use it.
@EmmaRECAEBC7B7 · Camped on Apr 13, 2026 at Campsite #5
Great camp site! Store was close by and our site was even almost right over giants coffin which was cool to see on the tours. No mosquitoes and fairly quiet. Would revisit!
@RobertV7482587 · Camped on Apr 12, 2026 at Campsite #66
Great campground! Quiet, clean bathrooms. And hot showers. Nice fire ring with grill. Campsites were nicely spaced.
Excellent

We loved our stay at Mammoth Cave. We stayed for 3 days, and the campsite was perfect. A gravel pad with drainage below, concrete tables, and an amazing fire pit. Truly a new favorite. The only downside was the pay showers; bring your quarters, its a $1.50 for the shortest shower. Women's shower has a door with a place to hang a towel; men's does not.

Mammoth Cave NP has been getting some much needed updates over the past couple of years and it shows especially in the visitor center and lodge facilities which are now well above average. The campgrounds near the visitor center and lodge are well maintained and managed but the campgrounds near facilities are in dire need of upgrades and improvements. The coin operated, yes I said coin operated, showers are disgustingly bad and outdated. The camp store was staffed by very nice folks but they were plagued by POS issues that required hand writing orders and receipts for food and supply purchases as well as using a pocket calculator to add up purchases which they struggled with. Mammoth Cave is a national treasure that needs some TLC but is still wya visit.

Campground is well managed and clean. Plenty of staff on hand to assist with any emergencies. Great to have running water in the bathrooms. Awesome hiking. Nice to have a nearby restaurant and all the amenities you need to make your stay the best it can be.
@AliceC7B9D3619 · Camped on Apr 5, 2026 at Campsite #69
Staying here was the perfect choice for our 3- day stay and exploration of the cave.
@LindaW6181394 · Camped on Apr 5, 2026 at Campsite #79
Loved our camping experience here. The tours were outstanding- definitely worth the time!
@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Apr 5, 2026 at Campsite #10
Great place to keep. Keep the parks funded and keep up the good work.
@IsaacB5862516 · Camped on Apr 4, 2026 at Campsite #15
Love the tours, love the trails on the surface, love the campground. Ive been to mammoth caves to camp and tour on two occasions and both have been marvelous experiences. I love caves.
@JasonB8429005 · Camped on Apr 4, 2026 at Campsite #58
Loved this park. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The cave tour was amazing. Like to do a longer one next time. The one and only complaint was I felt our camp site was very close to the next person.
@GuyB5152073 · Camped on Apr 4, 2026 at Campsite #80
Site not leveled. Having to pay for showers in anachronic.
@BrannenCEDB63E · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #92
Great facilities, beautiful land, couldn't be more convenient for spelunking!
@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #96
Clean area, Close water and bathrooms.
@TammyK9690800 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #36
We stayed at RV site. The park is nice and well taken care of. The guided tours were all booked so we could only go to self guided on a small portion of the cave system. The cave we visited was amazing. Highly recommend, but book ahead so you can experience guided tour in more caverns than the self guided.
@PaulS8803282 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #56
Campground was great. Neighbors were not. Will be back. The really loud neighbors keep us from giving 5 stars.
@JennaR33905922 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #13
The location was perfect! Its close to everything- visitor center, tours, and trails. Everything at the campground is clean and easily accessible (trash, bathrooms, water pump, etc). We love it here!
@TraceyN05602D5 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #110
The campground map was not accurate, which we had used to pick our campsite. Also the site was very sloped which was not conducive to our van. Not that we needed one but there wasnt even a tent pad at the site. Nice campground, pretty poor site. The visitor center was amazing! I would love to come back but not to that campsite!
@Roseb1813326 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #59
Camping in the campground is always amazing. The site is nice and big and clean. The bathrooms are always clean. The camp store always has what we need. We did run into a problem this time around. We arrived late to our site (like 9:30 pm) and found someone already set up in our site. We called the ranger and they suggested to ask them to leave or to just take another spot. We did ask the other people to leave but the refused. We did not feel right taking another spot so we ended up in a hotel. The campground was amazing in dealing with this situation. The camp hosts were very helpful and did an amazing job of getting the problem dealt with. The campground also refunded us and handled the situation amazingly.
Excellent

Great place to stay while visiting Mammoth Cave.
@Jeannette2F50B · Camped on Apr 1, 2026 at Campsite #51
The sites were decent in size though not necessarily level. We have a 26 foot travel trailer- minimal difficulty getting into the site. Bathrooms only have flush toilets and sinks. Cleanliness could have been better. They are well spaced through the Mammoth Cave campground. There are no hookups. The showers are available at the campground store and you pay for them. They look tired and grungy. They also have laundry available for $1.75 per load.

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.
@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
