This is a non-electric campground located about a 10 minute walk from the Visitor Center at Mammoth Caves National Park. Has 4 loops, with I believe only one that can be reserved. The problem is the one loop that can be reserved, the sites are rather un-level in general. If you do have to reserve, the high numbered sites in this loop are you best bet (sites 35-53). The next loop ( sites 1-10) are mostly group sites. The last two non-reservable loops (sites 54 - 111) are much better as far as finding a site for your RV trailer or class A, B or C that is level and larger enough. Many in these two loops are pull-thru's. Good spacing between sites. 90% of the sites are fairly heavily shaded. Bathrooms are older, but fairly clean. The pay showers are up front by the check-in station, along with a nicely stocked store where they sell alcohol too. There is WiFi by the check-in station. Been here a number of times the last 30 years.

📖 About This Campground
Mammoth Cave Campground puts campers in a prime spot to explore the depths and overland treasures of Mammoth Cave National Park. Mammoth Cave is an underground passageway containing more than 400 miles of naturally sculpted limestone and sandstone. It is the longest recorded cave system in the world. The grand-scale chambers and long, winding passageways were the inspiration behind the park's name. The campground doubles as an entry point to 14 miles of hiking and biking trails. It's also a five minute walk to the visitor center, where cave tours begin.
The 109 primitive campsites are set around a paved parking area surrounded by aromatic trees. Water and restrooms are located on the insides of the loops, and the park Visitor Center is a five minute walk away. Coin operated showers are available adjacent to the campground at the Caver's Camp Store. Inquire at the Camp Store for current shower fees.
A must-do activity in the park is exploring Mammoth Cave. Walking tours of the caverns leave from the visitor center daily. There are also miles of bike trails and hiking trails within the park.
