As we drove into the Campground, i quickly realized it was going to be one of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean, well laid out, nice spacious sites etc. When we got to our site, #23, i knew it was my favorite campground so far. For all of the same reasons, plus our site was fairly well shaded, nice and wide, trees for a hammock plus a trail down to the water so my Girl could launch her kayak.

The site was nice and mostly level, the water and electrical connections they have here should be a standard at all campgrounds. That said, we couldn't drink the water from the spigot. It didn't taste good and i tried refilling a bottle we freeze to keep stuff cool, and it foamed up like the head of a beer.

I do have to say, they need more help. The camp check in was only open once as we came in and out. If you needed help, there was a note on the door telling you where you could find them, but if you had a camper and trying to check in, it would have been a real headache.

i know sites 21, 23 & 25 have access to the lake and others were tying their pontoons up during their stay.

For primitive campers, the area behind the main office is one of the coolest tent camping areas we've seen. Very tall evergreen trees, well laid out.

I highly recommend this campground if you're in the area or intend on camping while you visit Mammoth Cave NP.
