Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mammoth Cave, KY

575 Reviews

Several RV campgrounds surround the Mammoth Cave area, with most offering water and electric hookups. Cave Country RV Campground in Cave City provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service and accommodates larger rigs on level gravel pads. Jellystone Park at Mammoth Cave features both 30-amp and 50-amp service with water, sewer, and electric connections. "Sites were level and have tables, fire rings and lantern hooks. The sites are pretty close together so okay nice with the neighbors," noted one camper about Dog Creek Campground, which offers water and electric but no sewer hookups at individual sites. Diamond Caverns RV Resort provides year-round camping with full hookups and has big rig friendly sites approximately 5 miles from the national park entrance.

Many campgrounds near Mammoth Cave have limited cellular coverage, particularly at the Corps of Engineers properties like Dog Creek and Wax campgrounds. According to a review, "Limited cell service, no wifi" is common at some locations. Dump stations are available at most parks, though only some offer full sewer hookups at individual sites. The camping season varies by location - Corps of Engineers campgrounds typically operate from May through September, while private RV parks like Singing Hills RV Park remain open year-round. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and fall weekends when Mammoth Cave tours are most popular. For RVs requiring propane, options are limited within the immediate area, and travelers should arrive with tanks filled.

    Bowling Green KOA

    Nice KOA

    This was a nice KOA, but some sites were small with all sites having very small fire pits made from only old tire wheels. This KOA has a pool, fishing, putt putt, dump station, general store, cabins, a little run down restroom/bath houses, kids play scape, large chess board, and a dog park. This KOA was about 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park and the National Corvette Museum. Both are worth the trip to.

    Mammoth Cave Campground — Mammoth Cave National Park

    Nature Lovers Paradise

    Site 46B is an exceptional site. Extra large with unobstructed views of the woods away from the roads So much to see and do beyond the cave! This campground is set in the woods with lots of hiking and biking trails within walking distance. Yes, the caves are amazing but don’t forget to explore the surface through hiking, horseback riding and kayaking. The campground has lots of tent campers to big rigs and everything in between. Big rig generators can put a major dent into the campground experience unfortunately but it’s still a beautiful family friendly experience. Bath houses were very clean. Sites are level. The dump station leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a two person operation. One person to use their foot to hold drain open and the other to deal with hose. Wish they offered electric at sites but still one of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean friendly and accessible to activities in the park.

    Cave Country RV Campground

    Nice and very clean!

    This RV resort is located conveniently 15-20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park. Also there are a lot of places to eat nearby. The staff/owners are all very friendly. I used the laundry room and it was kept very clean. They have a pool and I wish it were open when we were there but it was still closed from the winter.

    I really like and appreciate the dog park where I took my dogs to run and play to get some exercise and they really enjoyed it, too.

    I took away a star because there is a train that goes by about every 20-40mins and it is quite loud. But not a deal breaker for me. I would return here again!

    Bowling Green KOA

    Standard KOA/Awesome stay!

    This is a typical KOA park but in an awesome area. The only downside is the traffic noise from the highway. It was not audible inside the RV so it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep.

    The park has nice long pull through spaces, and quite a few long term residents of the park. They have a very nice dog park with obstacles for them in a central location to be accessed by everyone.

    The sites were level and clear of obstacles. They left plenty of space for vehicles and rigs. We had a pull through patio and the space had a giant beautiful tree that was very helpful in the heat.

    Equipment is well maintained at this location! Cell service for AT&T and TMobile we’re both excellent.

    Cave Country RV Campground

    Cave Country

    This RV Park is clean and well maintained. The dog park is beautiful with well trimmed grass and large. They have a nice swimming pool, picnic tables, and fire rings. Nice large gravel pull through site and level. The Mammoth Cave National Park is 10 miles with many other attractions nearby. We stayed for a week and loved it.

    Dog Creek Campground

    Dog creek campground visit

    Pleasant campground. Trailers and RVs get water and up to 50 amp hookups. Our 4 night stay has warranted a portable waste tank purchased as they have 2/3 hookup. Very nice sites. 1/4 of them line the waterfront. Ours was a spacious pull through. No real camp store, but an honor system “shed” with firewood, produce, and canned goods. No hiking trails, but they do have a beach, playground, and boat ramp inside the park. Very quiet park. Volunteer “hosts were very nice. Warned us of the dry campus and leash laws. Convenient enough for a trip to Mammoth Cave without trailering primitive in the National park itself. Good stay!

    Singing Hills RV Park And Campground

    Nice park near Mammoth Cave

    Singing Hills is a nice private RV park near Mammoth Cave. We stayed one night. Sites 37, 39-44 are not shady, while the lower numbered sites have shade. The park streets and sites are gravel. The park was clean and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. They have a huge selection of DVDs and some fishing poles you can use for free. Stayed in pull through campsite#49 which was not shady but mostly level. It was a gravel site with grass on either side. There was enough parking for my 34 ft TT and truck. Neighbors are close. The site included: picnic table on grass and fire ring. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in back. Water in back, good pressure. Sewer in middle with threaded fitting. AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bar of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 3 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 0.15 Mbps down, 0.13 Mbps up. Free WiFi Speedtest: 24 Mbps down, 15 Mbps up, but frequently drops out. Would stay here again We camped at Singing Hills RV Park& Campground in a Travel Trailer.
