Mammoth Caves are located in rural Kentucky and are a world class cave system. The caves are part of the US National Park system and offer an educational, awe-inspiring experience. Here's a comprehensive guide for planning a trip to Mammoth Caves; where to stay, what to eat, and what to do.

Mammoth Cave Lodging

While the National Park Service does run a hotel and rents cabins, the lack of air conditioning in rustic cabins is a drawback in the summer. Most tourists opt to stay in nearby Cave City which is about 20 minutes from the caves. There are several Mammoth Cave motels and hotels in Cave City with a wide variety of prices. Reservations are a must because rooms fill up fast, especially in the summer.

Other Mammoth Cave hotels and motels include:

  • Comfort Inn
  • Super 8
  • Best Western
  • Sleep Inn
  • Motel 6

Some are in better repair than others so tourists should read guest reviews before reserving a room. The Comfort Inn is the newest hotel in the area and offers a free continental breakfast, a well-appointed fitness room, pool and even a game room. The rooms are clean and have refrigerators and microwaves. Next to the hotel are a go kart track, game arcade, and souvenir shop that will help keep everyone busy.
