We stayed here for 3 days in early October. Enjoyed our stay and while all cavern tours were cancelled due to COVID we were still able to participate in a self-guided historic cave tour. We actually enjoyed the ability to take our time in the caves and there were multiple park staff available to answer questions. Multiple trails direc... more

We spent three nights here in early October. The campground was pretty full when we arrived on a Saturday but was rather empty the next two nights. The sites were in good condition with clean, well-maintained restrooms nearby. The only showers are located in the nearby camp store, and operate on quarters ($1.50 for four minutes). The s... more

Since we came in the winter season (11/1), spots were on a first-come basis but we had no problem getting a spot. Ours did not have hook-ups but there were spots available with elec-water for $50/night. Our site was paved, only slightly off-level, and clean. A small herd of deer came through the campground as we were setting up! The vi... more

Stayed here 10/21/19 to 10/23/19. I wasn't sure what to expect for crowds here as the whole campground is first come first serve in the fall. It turned out the campground wasn't even half full and there were tons of open sites. The sites are all very nice. There are some back-in sites and some pull-throughs. Each site has a paved pad, ... more

Thinking that the campground would be crowed, we made reservation for site 22. There is no way to see the site and we took one of the few left. When we arrived we found site 22 unusable by an RV as it is on a steep upward slope (18 inch drop in 20 feet). The attendant was off duty so we picked an available site in the first come/first ... more

There are many other accurate descriptions here so I'll just mention that there is also a USPS office inside the camp store building which is open with limited hours. We were fortunate to stay on one of the two full hookup sites during the off season for half price ($25) with our Lifetime Senior Pass discount. The campground was ... more

We stayed at Mammoth Cave Camground for 5 nights in late October of 2018. The campground is first come first served during the fall and winter, and we had no problems finding an open spot. I’d guess the campground was only about 20% full during the time we were there. All campsites are dry, no water or electricity, except for two... more

Campground is average, nothing special to remark. Wouldn’t camp here in anything bigger than 35 ft. We are 34 ft and barely fit. Most pull through loops are on the wrong side. Rest of facilities are dated and a little disappointing compared to other National Parks we have visited. The visitors center has an awesome interpretive s... more

Just a quick note from our stay in Oct. 2019 - be aware most pull thru sites will put your doors on the road side, not your site side. We took our chances and went the wrong way around the one way system to get into position for a week long stay.

Some of the reviews seem to imply that electric hookup is available. I do not believe this is accurate in this campground.
