Camping near Mammoth Cave KY

Trying to plan a vacation for this summer. Been kicking around the idea of going to Mammoth Cave but I’m not having much luck finding a campground that fits our needs.

We will be staying for about a week so full hookup (Elec, Water & Sewer) is a must. I’m sure there aren’t any campgrounds within the National Park that will have those hook-ups. So finding a place nearby that have that would be great! Nearby as in less than an hour from the park (cave entrance). Also would like to have a site on a river, stream or lake. Am I asking for to much?
The last couple years we’ve went to Pigeon Forge and loved it. Actually stayed in Townsend right on the edge of the Smokies. That is ideal and I would love to go back for the 3rd year but my better half want’s to try something different. Therefore I’m looking at Mammoth Cave.

Anyone have any opinions or suggestions?

I am open to anything within about 6-7hr drive from North Central West Virginia.

I have overnighted at Singing Hillsbefore. It has full hookups and the sites are just so so. They do have a catch and release pond. Not a campground with lots of amenities but the owners are super nice. It is a Passport America park if that makes a difference. I believe Mammoth is relatively close. Call and talk to the owners about your needs.
