Very peaceful, saw deer roaming around camping in the morning. Had trouble connecting Starlink with the tree cover, but some sites are clearer. Nice coin-operated showers!

Such a beautiful campground with so many lovely trees everywhere. We loved the bike path & rode a bunch. Bathrooms smelled like bleachmy favorite bathrooms on my roadtrip so far! They were cleaned, well, daily

Bring quarters for the shower. Month of June is nice to wake up to the birds singing. Very cool place to camp.

This was a semi secluded spot. Very clean and nice set up for both tent and hammock

The campground was beautiful, shaded, and well-maintained. Restrooms and showers were clean. The trails were phenomenal and very quiet in the morning.

We enjoyed the several tours that we went on.

Loved how clean the campground was and the proximity to the visitor's center and the mammoth cave tours. I was disappointed with the bike trail. I thought it would be a smoother ride but it was gravel and not well taken care of. I was unable to ride it with my e-bike.

We did the Lantern Tour. The guide was an exceptional story teller and was able to bring history to life.Camped in the Park. Campsite was level and quiet. Bathroom was clean!

The inability to shower, lack of firewood and overall cost compared to other places were the only things that kept this from being excellent. We had a wonderful time otherwise.
