Eating & Sleeping

From historic cottages to modern motel rooms the Lodge at Mammoth Cave offers over seventy rooms in the park. The park also manages three developed campgrounds and several backcountry campsites, which are available for advance reservation on www.recreation.gov.

Dine-in, quick service food, and a small camp store with groceries are all available near the visitor center area, or grab a spot in the picnic area for a chance to dine outside.
