## Overview

use, two of which can be reserved.

  * **Shelter G-1 in Picnic Area is an Enclosed Shelter (Pickup the key at the Mammoth Cave Campground Kiosk the day of your reservation.)**

The shelters are within Mammoth Cave National Park, which is best known for
its cave that extends over 400 miles. The cave formation began millions of
years ago when mildly acidic groundwater dissolved on beds of limestone,
creating subterranean passages. Native inhabitants of the cave include bats,
spiders, and blindfish.

## Recreation

Picnicking, enjoying the outdoors, and exploring the caves are of primary
interest to visitors. The site has trailheads to the Green River Bluffs Trail
and the Dixon Cave Trail. Both hiking trails are about a mile long.

## Overview

Mammoth Cave Campground puts campers in a prime spot to explore the depths and
overland treasures of Mammoth Cave National Park. Mammoth Cave is an
underground passageway containing more than 400 miles of naturally sculpted
limestone and sandstone. It is the longest recorded cave system in the world.
The grand-scale chambers and long, winding passageways were the inspiration
behind the park's name. The campground doubles as an entry point to 14 miles
of hiking and biking trails. It's also a five minute walk to the visitor
center, where cave tours begin.

## Recreation

A must-do activity in the park is exploring Mammoth Cave. Walking tours of the
caverns leave from the visitor center daily. There are also miles of bike
trails and hiking trails within the park.

## Natural Features

The campground is tucked inside Mammoth Cave National Park, which boasts
scenic valleys along the Green River. The river is within walking distance of
the camp, and the hilly Kentucky countryside expands beyond the valley.  
  
Deer and turkeys commonly stroll around the campground, so visitors are likely
to see them grazing in the early morning and at dusk.

## Nearby Attractions

Nearly 30 miles of the Green and Nolin rivers offer canoeing and boating
through the park. Commercial outfitters outside the park rent canoes, kayaks
and safety equipment.  
Most trails north of the Green River are open for horseback riding. Commercial
liveries outside the park rent horses and some may provide organized
excursions.
