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!

The campsites were great. One of the most wooded sites we've camped at. All the sites were filled but with the trees it felt private and everyone was friendly. There are no free showers which is something my group did not know until we got there. We all ended up skipping showers for this trip. The restrooms were tidy and even though it was booked I hardly ever ran into people or a line for the bathroom. Definitely check out Big Mike's rock shop in the little town. Also stop by the Watermill Restaurant for breakfast!

Absolutely beautiful! Don't let them over hype the tours, they are easier than they want you to believe. Totally worth the trip!

Nice wooded site with lots of fireflies in evening. Bathroom was super clean and air conditioned (nice for 90+ degree days), and everything was within easy walking distance (trails, camp store, Visitor's Center, tour starts).

Our stay at Mammoth Cave campground was very pleasant. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, although there is the minor point that only one of two sinks worked in the men's room. Yet, it was otherwise well-stocked and well-maintained and pleasant. The close proximity to the main cave site was great; you could walk there. Also, the store was nice, and the laundry facilities next to the store were helpful. We would recommend this campground for sure.

Guided cave tour was excellent with very knowledgeable tour guides as well as well maintained grounds and facilities.
