Ranger Aaron was fantastic. Such a great experience for the whole family.

Had a great time, even in the persistent rain. The campground was clean and quiet, and we even had some deer grazing in the empty campsite next to us!

Great camp grounds. Wonderful staff. Caves are a natural wonder.

Site 89 is great for being close to the restrooms. My only complaint is that it was generator nation. Anyone wanting to use electric should get an electric site. I don’t feel generators and coaches should be allowed to book sites in the non-electric section and then have generators going non stop. From a few minutes before 8am until the ranger physically drives around to tell everyone to turn them off at 8:15, there are generators running non stop. Not peaceful or quiet if that’s what you’re looking for. Some sites even had multiple generators going because they clearly couldn’t score an electric site. The site across from me was turning theirs on at 7:30am and even after the ranger told them to turn it off at 8:15, they turned it off until he drove away and then ran it all night long too….and there’s no one to complain to really about it. Disappointing for a National park campground. Also, my site had trash left over from the last people all over so I had to clean it myself…

If staying at the Campground you will need your own vehicle for transportation to the the Accessible Tour entrance from the Visitor Center.

I was extremely disappointed at the campground noise. A very noisy cement truck arrived at 6:45 am and started dumping cement few yards away from my camping site.
It took me over 5 years to realize my dream and see the world’s largest cave system. When compared to over 1/2 a dozen caves visited around the world, I was dissatisfied. It felt like visiting a mine, and not a famous cave. The best thing about the Mammoth Cave National Park was the walk in the nature with decently marked paths. I will not return to this park!

Great park to camp out. Fun trails with lots of wildlife. The tours we took were excellent. Great place for the family gathering.

Nice campground. 5 min walk to cave

We had another great trip to Mammoth Cave! General store closes at 5 pm, which was a bummer when we arrived and they don’t sell real firewood. Overall very nice site and bathroom facilities. Would recommend.

I loved how convenient the campground was to the caves, visitor center, and store. My only negative at all is the lack of power and water, but that is pretty standard for a National Park.
@JessicaC809 · Camped on Apr 9, 2021 at Campsite #89
Great campground and cave tour!

Location, Location, Location! Only a 10 minute walk to the Visitor Center and Caves. The camp store was large and carried all your essentials and lots of fun things. Hiking trails started right from the campgrounds and the bike path is at the entrance of the campgrounds. We were there during COVID so no showers or laundry. A laundry at a National Park is a huge plus. Sites were close but large enough you did not notice. There are trails for every ability and the caves are amazing. Near the Visitor Center is also a restaurant and ice cream shop.
