Mammoth Cave Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Mammoth Cave Campground offers campers a prime location to explore both the depths and surface treasures of Mammoth Cave National Park. Mammoth Cave is an underground passageway with over 400 miles of naturally sculpted limestone and sandstone, making it the longest recorded cave system in the world. The grand-scale chambers and winding passageways were the inspiration for the park's name. The campground serves as an entry point to 14 miles of hiking and biking trails, and is just a five-minute walk to the Visitor Center, where cave tours begin. Walking tours of the caverns leave from the visitor center daily. All wheels must remain on the pavement within the campground, as varying conditions can cause muddy ruts and erosion. The 109 primitive campsites are arranged around four paved loops, surrounded by fragrant trees. Water and restrooms are located inside each loop, and fill and dump stations are in the Camp Store parking lot. Coin-operated showers are available adjacent to the campground, behind the Caver's Camp Store, next to the Post Office. The campground is tucked inside Mammoth Cave National Park, which boasts scenic valleys along the Green River. The river is within walking distance of the camp, and the hilly Kentucky countryside expands beyond the valley. Deer and turkeys commonly stroll around the campground, so visitors are likely to see them grazing in the early morning and at dusk. Nearly 30 miles of the Green and Nolin rivers offer canoeing and boating through the park, and commercial outfitters outside the park rent canoes, kayaks and safety equipment. Most trails north of the Green River are open for horseback riding; commercial liveries outside the park rent horses and some may provide organized excursions.
