Camping near mammoth caves

There's a Jellystone in Cave City that has lots of stuff for the kids to do . They have a couple of pools, a waterslide,haytides and more. really targeted towards kids.

If you have kids then its got to be Jellystone. Were going back in June.

We also stayed at Jellystone several years back when kids were little. It was the only one we could find with a pool. We stayed in cabins because my parents were with us and they don't camp. But we did notice some noisy large groups of what looked like 18-22 yr olds that were partying it up. My husband and I both stated we were glad we weren't in a tent on that trip.
If we go back we'll stay at the park's campground even without them having a pool. But I will add that we are partial to the park campground and generally not as fond of the private campgrounds.

Another vote for Jellystone. Stayed there a few years ago, had a good time.
There's the adventure park across the road. They have horseback riding, zip-lining, etc. That was fun as well.

We stayed at the Jellysone, nice place! I really don`t understand why or how a few of the other campgrounds around there failed? it seems campgrounds would do good there? same could be said for some of the little attractions that couldn`t make it either.

Thanks for all the replays and info. I was concerned about Jellystone because of the reviews stating the campground was tight and not level but that is probably where we will end up at. Cave Country is a possibility but no pool. If we stay there, we will probably spend a day or too at Splash Lagoon in Beech Bend. Thanks again.

I didn't find it any tighter than other places.... we were in a 37'MH with a toad and didn't have any problems.

OMG!! Whatever you do DON'T stay at the CG adjacent to the Splash Lagoon park!! Ask me how I know..........

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but we stayed there a couple years ago. Very crowded but the staff found us a nice pull-thru. Overlooking the whole park. KEEP YOUR DOORS LOCKED!!! Only place we have ever been robbed. We always lock our toad doors but the wife went out to get a bag of souvenirs we had bought from our travels for the family. She put them back in the trunk and just forgot to lock the doors. Had my hook up bag in there also. All got stolen that night. Sheriff said they pretty much knew who it was but hard to catch. Apparently drug related. Live and learn. Make sure you make reservations if you go to THE CAVE. Very long lines. We enjoyed the stay otherwise. Hope you do also
