Camp Rating:

Let me start by saying that this was our first horse camping experience, and I did not know what to expect. I found the one trail we took (Wet Prong) WAY beyond my skill level, and our friend who met us there described the other trails as that challenging and then some (she loved them!). Had I known upfront how rough the trails were, I might not have stayed at that camp… But I would have missed a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. We stayed in the new single bunkhouse, which was fabulous. The bed was comfortable, the space was quiet, and it was air-conditioned. The horses were nearby, and they had five-star accommodations as well. Linda was in charge for our stay, and she was amazing. When I told her of my difficulties on the trail, she recommended a different trailhead inside the Park, with access 10 minutes away. The recommendation was perfect – we rode from the other trailhead the next two days, and had an excellent time. When we go back to Mammoth Cave, we will stay at MCHC, and haul the short distance to the easier trailheads. (We have a small trailer with two easy-loading horses, so it was no trouble at all.) Overall, the campground amenities and Linda's care of us added up to an amazing first experience.
