mammoth caves, Ky

Hi all, can anyone tell me if the campground (for RVs)
at Mammoth caves hold aside sites for first come first serve?
and how many?
looking at going there in a couple days, and it appears the
reserveable sites are gone.
thanks

    Staid here a couple years ago, nothing fancy, clean and the owners are on site. Friendly and helpful. Very close to cave and food establishments on I65 if you are of such a mind.

    X-2, that's where we stayed, definitely not a resort, but it worked well for us, very nice owners, & cheap with the Passport America rate.
    If you have kids that need to be entertained, there is a Jellystone just down the road.
  • We live not far from MC and also stay at Barren River Resort when in that area; probably the nicest around. Don't forget to visit the Corvette Museum and take a factory tour as it's just a short hop down I-65.
  • Nobody has really answered the OP's question. From the National Parks Service website: "Reservations are recommended during peak season (May 15-September 15). NOTE: First-come, first-served camping is available at Mammoth Cave Campground at all times that the campground is open". Unfortunately it doesn't say how many sites are held back so a phone call may be the only way to get info.
  • Take a look at Nolin Lake SP which is about 15 minutes away. Great place. I have an album of pictures in my signature photolink.
