The campground is very nice, large clean bathhouse, instant hot water in the private room showers. Good stalls. Camp host, Chris, was great - shared lots of info about the trails & recommended where we rode. There are easy, wide trails and challenging trails. Nice little obstacle trail to play on. We rode Chicken Hollow (Wet Prong, Collie Ridge, Blair) a very nice easy 10 mile loop with some creek crossings. For more of a challenge we rode McCoy Hollow/First Creek - the hills were not steep, but plenty of rocky places to navigate with some places for the horses to climb or jump up/down - very beautiful with big rock formations, creeks and waterfalls - we rode all 18 miles of McCoy Hollow in one day, but next time will use the gravel road that goes up the center of the loop to make it 2 shorter days of riding. Will have to come back a few times to make sure we ride the other 40+ miles of trails we didn't get to. Easy to get to with truck & trailer. One of the best camps we've been in and great trails - definitely recommend.

Very family friendly atmosphere. Easy checking in. Clean bath houses. Private shower stalls. Very close to multiple attractions if you take the free Green River Ferry. Stalls were nice size. Wheel barrels and forks supplied. Water was easily accessible along with four wash racks. We really enjoyed Chris and staff and they were very attentive to our needs. Very well marked trails but inquire before you head out!!

Kevin and the camp host ( I cannot remember his name) are fantastic. It's a laid back place and we like it that way. We go at least twice a year. The upper campground (Section B) needs a little TLC. The road is washing out and the ruts are deep, the stalls have drainage issues. Nothing some drain tiles and some gravel won't fix. We will definitely continue to go back.

Great campground! Large sites and nice shower house facility. Good place for kids. The arena and obstacle trail are a really nice feature. It kept our 10 and 11 year old girls occupied when we were not out on the big trails. Stalls, bunk house and lodge were really nice as well. You must stall your horses and the main area is a long walk but they have a new area that stalls are right next to you sites which I prefer in lieu of keeping horse at your site. We rode the 10 mile loop and it had really good footing, a few rocky areas and climbs as well as a short stretch on a gravel road. We did encounter two groups of hikers and they were very respectful and helpful when I had a mule having a slight meltdown over their packs. All in all, good experience. Owners are first rate and will make your stay enjoyable.

There are many wonderful horse camps across the country. A few of them are special. Mammoth Cave Horse Camp is that special camp that you can call home. Kevin and Janet Davis have built a camp that features excellent camp sites, roomy and secure stalls. A pavilion with fireplace serves as a cozy dining hall and entertainment center. The camp staff is attentive to your every need. Need help finding a farrier, veterinarian or mechanic? Kevin and crew have you covered. Check out the weekend and week long rides at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp. Because the camp attracts great people you’ll make new and life long friends. Plus the trail system offers something for every level of rider. These days I spend a lor of time riding out West. But I make a pilgrimage back to Mammoth Cave Horse Camp. Its worth the trip.

The campground is great and the owners are fantastic. Little things like wheel barrows with flat tires or parts falling off are aggravating. Also, the trail map provided does not correspond with the markers on the trail. Very easy to get lost.

Mammoth Cave Campground is a great place to stay. The hosts are especially friendly and really care about making sure you have a good time and everything is up to your expectations. They checked on us each day and even when we saw them at a local restaurant, he made sure and acknowledged us and asked how we were doing. The campground itself was also top notch, it was clean, all the buildings have been kept up and looked very good. All in all, it was a great place to come relax and enjoy time with friends, riding your horse and making new friends along the way.

We have been going to Mammoth Cave Horse Camp for 3 years now. We have been to large events and been when there's less then 20 other campers. Not matter what the occasion is the customer service is superb and the grounds are always clean and friendly. KEVIN and his wife have always been extremely friendly and welcoming very professional and customer service oriented. It is a family friendly environment. My kids will remember growing up there I can't wait to hear the stories they will tell to their kids when they bring them there as well! If you're looking for a fun environment, no matter what age you are and you want to make everlasting memories, this is where it's at people! Stables are clean and secure. All the horse amenities that you could ask for or also on the grounds. We love this little Honey hole!

We have been to MCHC several times and love it everytime. The trail markers do need to be updated but other then that it's awesome. We have stayed up on the hill in the past. Up there needs a shower house and bathrooms. Kevin is really nice, the stalls are always clean and so are the bathrooms. Would like to see some shelves put in the shower rooms for putting your dry clothes on.
