Rock Cabin Camping

Campground

Small cozy campground in the middle of everything it seemed like friendly atmosphere.

This is the cutest most friendly place we have ever stayed we absolutely love it very clean very cute and very friendly you've got to stay here if you're ever in Mammoth Cave Cave City Kentucky.

Veteran owned small business super friendly and clean. You should visit them. I will be staying there again.

Very clean friendly close to the cave beautiful flower garden.

Nice affordable place and the Owners and their dog were very welcoming and helpful.
Highly recommend.

I have had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rock Cabin. I am already planing my next trip down! Ralph, is a sweet heart — so kind, selfless, knowledgeable and helpful. He knows the area and will give you the best recommendations. The camp ground is peaceful, quite, private and relaxing. Ralph ensured your experience is top notch. He was even kind enough to help us four girls build a fire… not once, but twice! He is a sweet, friendly soul you will admire. I look forward to come back. Safe quite and all around PERFECT camp site… with private bathroom (which makes it that much better)!

Lovely, historical, & rustic. Still roughing it but sweet, Little Rock Cabin’s have private baths. They have full hook ups for campers/RVs. Very close to Mammoth Caves and other cave attractions. Ralph is a pleasurable host and star gazing enthusiast~ on a clear night, he may offer you a peek at Saturn in his telescope!

Loved it. Such a cute place and a lovely owner.

Ralph is super nice. Location is only 5 miles from the park. Small no frills, and quiet campground. Reasonable rates and has all we need. Showers water and electric. Shaded tent grounds.

We are having a great time here! The cabins are very nice and reasonably priced. The owners are super helpful and just all around nice people. We will definitely be back!

The cabins and land were nice and well taken care of. The owner and his wife were very kind. I'd deff recommend and would go back!

Nice and clean and the owner was very helpful! Beautiful view, can't wait to go back.

This place is amazing. It is super cute. Owner is super helpful and we will be back.

Loved the simplicity and beauty, close to Mammoth Cave NP and lots of activities.

We spent 5 nights at Rock Cabin Camping back in June and it was absolutely fantastic. The proximity to Mammoth Cave National Park was perfect, just down the road, but the level of hospitality we received was unlike anywhere we had ever stayed. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you for a wonderful time!

We stayed here two nights in our RV. Owners are very nice and friendly. This is a lovely mom and pop style campground. There are 10 cottages as well. Hot showers available in the bathhouse. We enjoyed walking around the grounds looking at all the flowers they have in garden. About five miles from Mammoth Cave.

We just stopped in for a quick overnight along our route home. We got in late but the owner was very helpful and friendly. Helped us hook up the camper and guided us right in to our spot with his dog by his side. Bath House could use a little work but was clean. Looks like a good little place to com back to when we have more time. Very close to all local amenities.

The Cabins Were nice and comfortable the owner and his wife were very nice and accommodating. Very Close to caves and other attractions. Would highly reccomend. 10/10

Very family friendly. The owner Ralph his wife and dog Harvey r all very friendly. Ralph brought out his cannon like telescope (lol) and showed us some awesome views of Saturn and the stars. I would recommend staying in any one of the cabins or u pop a tent or hook up ur rv or camper. The location isn’t far from the many caves.

My husband, son and I stayed at Rock Cabin Camping and we had such a great time. Ralph and his wife, Lina are so friendly. The cabins are wonderful. We don"t own a camper and I prefer not to tent and the cabins were perfect. Newer beds, and provide the comfort of home. We stayed in cabin 9, which is two rooms and two beds, no kitchen. You can tell that Ralph and his wife take pride in their property and hosting visitors. Every night Ralph walked around and visited, making sure everyone had what they needed. As a perk, coffee was available every morning. Ralph knows the area well and suggested a Mountain Bike trail for our son about half an hour away. Twisted Oliver was a fun excursion. We walked the trail and our son rode his bike and loved the obsticles. Thank you for a great vacation, we hope to be back soon!

My husband and I visited during the winter time and we had a blast. Owners made us feel at home and were very welcoming. Cabin was very clean and provided us with everything we needed. It was a great romantic getaway experience.

They really had amazing setup for a 2 day tour. Being far away from the city but with all the facilities. Very good experience to stay close to nature. In addition, the owner showed us the stars planets with his telescope.

Great place very clean and the owner was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed! Will go back again.

This place was wonderful! They were very accommodating, even with our last-minute reservation. Owners are wonderful and knowledgeable of the area. Be (e) sure to try their neighbor's honey. Will absolutely come back on our next trip to Mammoth National Park and the surrounding caves.

My family and I had our annual family reunion at Rock Cabin Camping and we absolutely fell in love with it! The owner Ralph is super friendly and goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone! We enjoyed his conversation and company he even brought out his telescope and showed us the stars and planets! We are super thankful for his hospitality and happy to create another friendship! The cabins were clean and very cozy. There is very many activities in the area and Ralph even sent me links and websites ahead of time to check out! We really loved and enjoyed this family friendly campground and would most certainly would book again! Thank you so very much for everything Ralph! — The Rank family.

I was there for a family reunion with about 30 others, and I stayed in cabin 6. It is a small, cozy well kept campground. The room was nice, and clean and included a small refrigerator and satellite TV. The air conditioning also worked very well. Each site also has access to a charcoal grill in front of the cabins, which was very handy. The owner, Ralph, was the nicest person possible. He was always willing to help with anything that was needed for my group. As this is a small private campground, (husband and wife), I would recommend this place to everyone.

This place is amazing! So Americana… so clean… such friendly owners. Loved hanging outside and meeting other travelers. Really loved catching fireflies and making s’mores. And when the owner pulled out his personal (and awesome) telescope, we had no idea we were about to have a planetarium-quality experience. PLEASE consider staying here on your travels … don’t let this place disappear.

Loved our cabin. We stayed in cabin 2 and had a great time. It was clean, super comfortable and everyone is so friendly. It’s close to the mammoth caves but not near all the touristy “junkyard ‘. Would go back again.

The owners really care that you are having a good time. They will do most anything they can to ensure you do! The prices are great! You can tent camp, bring an RV or rent one of their many cabins. Most cabins are a bed and a bathroom. They have a. C. And tv. They have some larger cabins as well, but the way I look at it is I'm camping and exploring nature… I should only be inside to sleep and shower. This place is great, and I highly recommend it!

A cozy casual fun stop. Thirteen members in our party, two cabins and tent. Cooked camp chili over fire ring, plenty of grass for little ones to play on. Ralph even brought over a small slide for the toddlers. Not for those that want a fancy stay but perfect for families to gather around the campfire. One of the cabins was newly remodeled but both were clean, good mattress and plenty of towels and hot water.

The camp ground was clean. Ralph the owner was very helpful and friendly. He was there anytime you needed anything and ready to help with whatever. The prices of the cabins were very affordable. Its a small campground, but everyone there was very friendly. We plan to go back and take our children. There is lots to see and do in the area.

Ralph and Lina run a fantastic business. I've stayed at Rock Cabin Camping many time and every visit has been a pleasure.

Nice family owned business, quaint cabins. The people who run it are super nice. Good value for the price.

I have stayed here 4 or 5 times. The manager/owner is super sweet and knowledgeable about the area. The cabins are clean, but old. They have been working on updating them and the new ones are very nice. It's family friendly and close to Cave City, Mamoth Caves and a really fun amusement park who's name escapes me. Dinosaur world is just down the road too.

We camped the first night and there was a neighbor with dogs and a bright light. We didn't mind that much but it was noticeable. We switched to renting a cabin after that which was great. The whole area is beautiful and this was a great place to rent a cabin and stay while in the area.

Close to Mammoth Caves and the owner is super nice. Not a great campsite, but it was a good base camp for the area. Wi-Fi didn't really work and the sewer connection was an open connection without threading. Good rate for the area.

This place is the absolute best! The owner is very accommodating and knowledgeable. He strives to make sure you have the best time. The cabin was in a great location — close to everything, yet very quiet and a nice view of the stars at night. It has all the amenities: fire pit, charcoal grills, firewood on site, A/C in cabin, bathroom/shower, mini fridge, microwave, DISH TV, flat screen tv, towels and sheets are provided — this place has everything. This is the kind of business you want to give your money too and even great prices. Owner is a hardworking and genuine. One of the top establishments I have ever had the pleasure to experience. I really wish I took photos of the place before we lived in it for a few days to really capture this place in its essence. Old original stone with shiny geode looking gems on the outside and updated and modern on the inside (clean and new, very modern, check out the remodeled photos on their website and you'll see what I'm talking about). I highly recommend this place.

We had a great night here! The owners were were nice and inviting. He even showed us Saturn with his really nice telescope! So cool. Nice bathrooms and showers. Super close to all of the caves and attractions. Will stay here next time we are in the area!

My wife and 2 boys came down to visit the caves. We couldn't get there till pretty late but the owner was very accommodating and stayed up so we could get in that night. The owners are very nice and even brought out his telescope to let everyone look at the stars. My 2 boys loved it! Camp fire dinners every night in a laid back setting and a nice place to sleep and shower and a very reasonable price what more could you ask for? I would highly recommend this place if you are ever going to be in the area visiting mamouth cave. Thank you again for the hospitality we had a blast!

One word, AMAZING! lovely couple owns the area and they go all out for anyone, the showers are so great amazing water pressure and hot water is great, tent sites are adorable and perfect for small little campers, there is electric AND water for the sites and it's close to amazing attractions aswell, got a tour of the little cabins and they were built in the 1920's they just looked so cozy and warm, absolutely worth it and worth the price a night! (also fire wood is sold there too at a great price)

Cute, small cabin with air conditioner. The cabin is clean and has the basics you need for a comfortable stay; bathroom, shower, towels/linens microwave, small fridge, and satellite TV. Charcoal grill and a campfire ring available for your use. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and kind. Great location for easy access to Mammoth Cave and surrounding attractions. I would definitely stay here again.

We stopped here to stay for 2 nights in the middle of our two week travel trailer camping road trip. The man running this place (I forget his name) is hands down the nicest most accommodating laid back individual we have met on our trip thus far. I would recommend this place a thousand times. It's cute and quaint and easy. AND it's the closest place to camp if you can't get into the national park.

We had a wonderful time. We had 16 in our group. Rented the bunk house, the large cabin with kitchen and a small cabin with queen bed. Plenty of room and we were all able to sit around the campfire in the evening with kids. Went to an early morning cave tour then back for lunch and naps. The owner and his puppy were so nice and right there to answer any questions we had. Definently will come back again.

I loved the cabin and the management. It was a very family friendly atmosphere and felt like home. We go every year the prices are great and the service is even better! Also the location is perfect, close to the park and far enough away from town that you get the outdoor experience. I would highly recommend this place!

Perfect place to stay when visiting Mammoth Cave. Hospitality was second to none and accommodations were clean and comfortable. If you want to step back in time and sit around a campfire yet have modern conveniences this place is exactly what you are looking for. We loved every minute!

A bit rustic overall but a great place to visit. We are here for a family reunion and Ralph at Rock Cabins was able to accomodate us all. Some in campers, some in tents and 4 cabins. Perfect! Ralph is great and one of the kindest people you will ever meet!

Interesting spot. Yes, cabins are small, but if you are staying anywhere near Mammoth Cave you should be outside anyway. The bathrooms are a bit small too, but these are historic roadside cabins NOT a hotel. The owner is very helpful and knows much about the area.

We recently stayed here while we were in town for our mammoth cave tour. We stayed in one of the single bed cabins for a couple of nights. The guy that runs the place was extremely nice and very helpful. The reason I'm only giving a three star review however is the size of the cabin was uncomfortably small, I felt closterphobic. When we first walked into the cabin I felt like there should have been a hole in the middle of the floor to fish from. Very little room to move around, and the bathroom was even worse. You have to sit sideways on the toilet to fit and forget trying to get dressed in the bathroom. You can tell the cabins are very old, however they do try to keep the clean and looking the best they can for the age. The camp ground wasnt too bad, picnic tables throughout to sit at, plenty of fire pits, that's about it though. The worst thing about the camp ground though was the people's dog who live behind the campground. Constantly barking non stop, it was beyond annoying, and the owners of the dog didn't bother to try and calm the dog down. This went on constantly the two days we stayed. If you are looking for a cheap place just to sleep while you are in town and maybe enjoy a fire at night this might be a good choice. However if I ever go back to cave city, I'll look into other places first.

What a great time we had in our tiny cabin! The owner does everything to make you feel welcome. Very reasonable prices and located very close to Mammoth Cave National Park. Highly recommended!

Perfect! My husband and I stayed 2 nites in one of the smaller cabins. The owners were friendly and the cabins are within 5 minutes of Mammoth Caves.

Ralph is an amazing host, providing individual attention you wouldn't get from a chain hotel.

This is the kind of lodging I hope to find on every trip but rarely do, something out of the past but clean and in good condition. The stone cottages were built in 1928 but have been thoroughly rehabilitated. We stayed in cabin 3, a small cottage with one full-size bed. The hardwood floor was new or refinished, the walls freshly white, the bedclothes sparkling fresh, the bathroom fixtures clean. I had feared musty or moldy smells due to the age and stone construction, but there was no trace of such, and my allergies registered zero. Co-owner Ralph was more than friendly and very helpful with suggestions on places to eat and things to do, and his dog Harvey Dent added his peaceful temper to the place. My only cautions are that wider-than-average people may find it difficult to maneuver in the miniature bathroom, and that the bedroom could use wall pegs or a rail for clothes hangers. We were quite happy to spend three nights here over a holiday weekend for only $144.

So glad to have found this quaint little place! The cabins were the right size for sleeping as we were busy running all day, nice and clean as well; with a small refrigerator. Loved Ralph (the owner) the way he interacted with the guests was awesome! Very homey little camp sight and the perfect location for cave tourists! Overall great experience.

Boyscout troop 106 from Murfreesboro love coming to Rock Cabin Campground. We spend the weekend and have always had the best time. The boys look forward to the trip all year.

We parked our travel trailer here. Location is fantastic, about half way between I65/Cave City and Mammoth Cave. Site had electric, city water and septic. Bath and shower are dated, but clean. Owner was friendly.

We were very surprised by the condition of this property due to the good reviews that we read when we booked. I do not even know where to begin with this place. There were piles of junk throughout the grounds and an old camper was parked a few feet away from our 'bunkhouse'. My family of 5 had no table to set anything on (luggage had to be placed on beds) and we did not even have a garbage can in the room. There was no coffee maker even though one was promised in the list of amenities. The bathroom (in a separate building) was grungy and did not even have soap to wash our hands. The price was comparable ($90) to the hotels down the road that included free breakfast, pools and Wi-Fi. My husband wanted to drive home that night although we had been driving all day instead of sleep there. We chose not to use the 'shower house' attached to the bathrooms (in a separate building) as there was no room to change and very dirty. In hindsight, we would have slept in our van. Or driven down the road to ANY of the hotels. NOT recommended.

We love Ralph and the cabins! The best vacation ever! Met some really nice people especially Gena and Ronnie! Ralph really makes you feel welcome, if you want a nice relaxing quit place, please go see Ralph and tell him Michigan says "hi". Will go back next year for sure.

We stayed here for two nights during our trip to Mammoth Cave. We stayed in a cabin with one queen bed plus a bathroom. It was small but very cozy and very clean. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including towels, pillows, mini fridge (we were able to bring our own beer and enjoyed it by the campfire), even a TV an air conditioning! Those were truly luxuries, so if you're looking for backwoods camping, like many have said, this might not be the place for you. We also were able to bring our dog which was the number one reason we chose this place (we wanted to hike around with her outdoors but also wanted to do the wild cave tour at Mammoth Cave). The owners were the most hospital people I've met — Ralph even gave us a starter for our fire when we bought our firewood. We will definitely be back.

This is a nice little spot that was easy to find. It is right on the highway, so if you are looking for backcountry camping, this is not the spot. However, I was never bothered by the traffic because it's a small highway. The proprietor of the campgrounds was very nice and very friendly and happy to help with suggestions for local restaurants to try out. The lawn was trim and well-kept and the bathrooms were very clean even with the rainy weather. You should check it out.
