    The Domes & Dripstones Tour at Mammoth Cave National Park was easily one of the highlights of our…read moretrip to Kentucky. If you're looking for a cave tour that combines incredible scenery, fascinating geology, and a bit of a workout, this is the one to book. The ranger-guided tour is well organized and packed with interesting information about the cave's history, formations, and the natural processes that shaped this underground world over millions of years. The descent into the cave through the natural sinkhole entrance is an adventure in itself, and while the 638-640 stairs sound intimidating, they're absolutely worth it. The highlight for us was Frozen Niagara. The stunning collection of stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and delicate cave curtains is unlike anything we've ever seen. It's amazing to think these formations were created one drop of water at a time over thousands of years. Throughout the tour, the massive domes and enormous passageways constantly reminded us why Mammoth Cave is the world's longest known cave system. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The cave's constant 54-degree temperature also makes it a comfortable activity no matter the season. Be prepared for plenty of stairs and wear comfortable shoes, but don't let that discourage you. The tour is paced well, with opportunities to stop and admire the scenery along the way. If you're visiting Mammoth Cave National Park, the Domes & Dripstones Tour is an unforgettable experience and one we would enthusiastically recommend to anyone looking for a memorable underground adventure. Five stars! Check out our video on our socials @reessroots

    I wish I just day tripped it and did not spend money to stay the night. I was travelling solo and…read morethis was my last stop before heading back to Maryland. I was arriving from St. Louis. I booked one of the historic cottages to stay the night and planned on hanging out in the bar on site. When I first arrived my cottage wasn't ready to check in yet and I still had a couple hours until my tour. I went to the restaurant and sat at the bar. I was informed that they did not have a bartender but the servers were rotating serving the guests at the bar. I was promptly greeted by the waitress but ultimately moved to a table because the chairs are not tall enough for the height of the bar. It would have been extremely awkward and uncomfortable to eat up there. I had a salad and sweet potato fries and two IPA beers. Everything was delicious and the service was great. I went on the Historic Cave tour which was great. I wish I remembered the rangers name who gave the tour because he was amazing and hilarious! After the tour we (another solo traveler and I) planned to go to the bar and grab a drink before she hit the road for her next stop. Upon arrival to the restaurant, the bar was open but the host (who admitted he was new and did not know what he was doing) refused to let us sit there. He said there was no bartender. I told him earlier they allowed people to sit there and the servers helped. He said they only had 3 servers so he handed us a buzzer to wait for a table. The restaurant had half of its tables open. She decided she didn't want to wait so she left. I was then frustrated because I did not want to sit at a table alone again so I ordered food to go and ate in my cabin. There is no service in the cabins because you are in the middle of nowhere. As a solo female traveler I rely on meeting people at restaurants by sitting at the bar. This on site restaurant clearly was not staffed well enough to accommodate their guests in the middle of the summer when everyone is travelling. The other stores that served coffee and ice cream were closed by the time I finished my 3:30 tour. The prices in the gift shop were extremely high and I refused to pay for a magnet that was $12.00. I ended up going to bed super early and hit the road at 3 am because there was nothing else to do. For these reasons and more, I would have preferred to come for my tour and left to stay somewhere else.

    PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PARK - This page was previously for the Yogi/ Jellystone RV Park, which…read morechanged ownership late September... Therefor all good reviews are inaccurate and all the new ones are terrible but the Review rating does not reflect this. Many people are being mislead here, booking campsites only to find out about the change later and not able to get their money refunded. This is the worst place I have ever stayed. They would have to fire the GM to improve anything and what do you know - he also manages the KOA next door... such a shame since the old owners took such good care of the park. They decided to serve us an eviction notice simply because we requested clean water to be provided when they shut it off without notice, refusing to tell new entrants that it was broken as well. We went upwards of 10 hours without water for our family and they told us we had to BUY WATER from them if we wanted it - on top of the $900 fee to stay here for the month. We went and bought water bottles ourselves at a gas station to hand out to the surrounding families so they wouldn't have to suffer the atrocity we experienced when speaking with the horrible staff there. The showers are disgusting, the wifi never works, and to top if off they are refusing to give refunds to all customers who were not aware of the changes happening in the park here regardless of the reason.  Others have also had issues with staff breaking things on their property and mistreatment by the staff, and were also forced to leave the park after confronting the staff on their heinous behavior. The TN Health and housing authorities are in the process of being contacted, and if you have stayed here and have anything to add please feel free to contact me. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    In a flash my welcome has run out. What have I done to provoke my sudden exile? From the camp…read moregrounds I am expelled like fecal matter from a man who just consumed several Taco Bell cheesy gordita crunches and burrito supremes, and like this same excrament I have been treated since the beginning. Allow me to tell my story in hopes of preventing this same treatment toward other fellow human beings. I return to my humble abode after many hours of dealing with constant complaining. As this is how my living is made, it must be done. To my suprise, I discover my window has suffered a fate commonly suffered by Windows. At first I suspect the children next door: Always outside, urinating wherever they please, with no regard for the ambient decibels of the park. Upon further inspection, I obtain information that shifts my suspicion to our landscaper, also known as, PABLOK the Projectile Propeller. When was Pablok here? I asked the registration office, also known as the Troll's Den. When this question was asked heads turned, and suddenly 1000 judging eyes are staring at me as if I just stole each one of their victorias secret catalogs from their mailboxes. He was here earlier today. Said the angriest of the group. Why do you ask? I respond politely. "I suspect Pablok has propelled something into my window during his weed and grass eradication process." When I say these words. Believe you me. I felt I needed to escape the cozy confines of the office. It was no longer a safe and neutral ground. I was trespassing in enemy territory soon to meet the same fate my window did. Days pass. I decide to solve my window issue on my own. In hopes of reaching some kind of agreement I reach out to the Troll's den again. This time via email in an effort to survive the confrontation.  I asked them if they would be willing to replace my window. This is their domain. Safe, uninterpupted, neutral, and calm on a normal day. I assumed they would do as they needed to maintain order in their troll kingdom. I receive a response. They have banished me from their kingdom! Left me to fend for myself in the harsh, unforgiving land known as Nashville. Fine. I shall make my way. Never to return to this land. Ive no family, and no ties to this kingdom. I only found refuge here. Asylum has been granted and taken away as quick as it came. There are several other kingdoms with far more diplomatic leaders in which to make my stay. I hope this helps in your decision making process. We pay for a place that should be maintained. If a small incident like this happens I personally feel it is the responsibility of the property management to handle. To automatically be told that we have to be gone by the end of the month is crazy. I hope this doesnt happen to anyone else. Do what you can to avoid finding peace here. For peace you shall not find. The trolls will turn their back on you as soon as they no longer profit from your place in their lives.
