Bluffs Campground Introduce

Nestled in the heart of Mammoth Cave, KY, Bluffs Campground offers a unique and immersive camping experience. Surrounded by breathtaking rock cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and a small cave, this campground is a haven for nature enthusiasts and backpack campers alike. The natural beauty of the area is complemented by the intriguing rock formations, including one that resembles a frog guarding the cave entrance.

Bluffs Campground provides a primitive camping experience, allowing visitors to connect with nature in its purest form. The dense foliage and frequent rain create a damp environment, so campers are advised to bring a stove for cooking. The campground's serene atmosphere is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the wilderness.

One of the unique features of Bluffs Campground is its proximity to a small graveyard, offering visitors a chance to pay their respects and reflect on the history of the area. Whether you're an experienced camper or a first-time visitor, Bluffs Campground promises an unforgettable adventure.

Beautiful spot. Lots of rock cliff overhangs with waterfalls and a small cave at the campsite. There is a rock just above the cave that looks like a frog guarding the entrance. I would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys backpack camping.

Spent a week or so there and was of the most insightful environment. Beautiful. Maybe I was born 20,000 years to late, I loved feeling like a Neanderthal cave dude. I learned to make friends with the spiders, also if planning on cooking, bring a stove, the wood is very damp due to little sunlight penetration and frequent rain. Also, feel free to pay a respectful visit a small graveyard close by to this campground.

The Bluffs is a nice, remote backcountry site. There's a nice "campground" style firepit, a nice flat tent pad and a couple decent hammock spots. There's plenty to explore directly around the site, and a waterfall just around the corner from it. The last .3 mile to it is a somewhat technical decent which means the way out requires a fairly aggressive hike accent.

This was an easy hike, though there were some blow downs along the way. My dog Charlie and I had a great time!

Backcountry undeveloped site, beautiful view, good camping site for tent campers or hammock campers. Nearby stream provides access to fresh filterable water. Please take note This is not a developed campsite It is a fire pit in the middle of the woods with a single tent area sectioned off with 4x4 posts. There is a steep hike to get in, and a steep hike to get out. No electrical, running water, bathrooms, or trash pickup is available at this site.
