Mammoth Cave National Park


Mammoth Cave, KY

Headquarters Campground: Very nice, level sites, spacious and beautifully shaded. Wildlife abounds - there was a fearless deer waiting for us in our site, plus we saw nice plump racoons who were clearly enjoying the campground lifestyle. No hookups again, but restrooms were convenient and clean - however, no soap is provided. We never set foot in the camp store, which was just outside the campground loop, but it appeared to be fairly large, and also had gas pumps. We were told the showers (behind the camp store) were coin-operated, but as we were heading to our own private baths at home after our one night in Mammoth, we decided to forgo the experience. (I think it was $2/10 minutes.) We had a picnic table and fire ring, a nice pull-through pad, and what a treat it was to sleep with the camper windows open and not freeze to death.

Scoring:
Site: 4 (no hookups)
Amenities: 5
Bathrooms: 3 (showers unknown)
Overall: 12
