Mammoth Cave Horse Camp, near Mammoth Cave, KY

Trail Rating: 
Camp Rating: 

Campground and bath house were clean and maintained. Grass was cut and roads thru campground were fairly smooth gravel roads. Barn was spacious with places to hang tack. Wheel barrows and rakes were available and the manure pits were centrally located. Map was available as well as a trail app, both were accurate. Trails are well marked with both color markers and mileage markers. Large trail signs with mileage at beginning of each trail. Most trails are wide and easy, with enough "single-track" trails to make it interesting when you start getting board with easy. Raymer Hollow road had some large 57 gravel on it (about 3 miles) which makes it hard on horses feet. I sure hope they put some crusher run on that trail. It's really pretty and has lots of small bridge crossings. Buffalo Creek was fun and a little technical and the McCoy trail is hard to extreme. Wet Prong trail is beautiful. This is our second time camping at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp and we will return. WE love the ease of riding, the pleasant campground with shade and a clean bath house that includes a laundry. Would like to see maybe another bath house closer to the barn area in the future. Some great little restaurants located close by the campground that makes it nice for quick meals. I would recommend staying there in early spring or very late fall (after first frost) because of the bees and snakes we encountered on the trails. Happy Trails!

I have NEVER had people work so hard to make us feel welcomed. The stalls were great, campground was wonderful, everything we needed was right there. Trails were nice. Could not ask for anything different. Thank you!
