Accessible almost exclusively through the Green River Ferry (6 miles from the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center), the campground has picnic tables and fire rings as well as most of the camping basics, including fresh water.

This is group camping and you must register at the visitors center before crossing on the ferry. It's a long way back if you forget anything and the ferry operates from 6am-9pm, I think.
