Visited Mammoth Cave National Park this weekend. Warm afternoons and cool nights made our autumn visit just about perfect. Enjoyed the ranger led two-hour Gothic Avenue tour into the cave. Diamond Caverns RV Resort is located just inside the national park boundary about 7 miles from the park’s visitor center. Free WIFI located at the porch area of the recreation hall clocked in at 2.50 Mbps download speed and 0.98 Mbps upload speed. Verizon cellular service with an omni-directional booster clocked in at 1.92 Mbps download speed and 0.52 upload speed. AT&T with booster clocked in at 5.98 Mbps download speed and 0.04 Mbps upload speed. One drawback is a rifle range located within ear shot of the campground; it was annoyingly active on Saturday afternoon.

We stayed here free as part of our Thousand Trails membership. We were at this campground in June of 2019.
Diamond Cavern is right outside of the Mammoth Cave National Park and near Bowling Green Kentucky. We used our time here to visit the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green and to explore Mammoth Cave.
The check-in process for this campground is smooth and you are led by golf cart to your site. We had a problem with our satellite dish at the first site and the host moved us to a site better suited to our needs. All of the staff that we encountered during our time there were absolutely wonderful.
The facilities are clean and well maintained. We appreciated the quality of the laundry room especially as we had been without laundry facilities for several weeks before arriving! The pool was clean and well maintained.
Our site was in the pull-through section and it was satisfactory, but I think when we return to the campground we will inquire about a back in site as they were a little more private. Our site was level, and included a nice picnic table and fire ring. It was gravel and grass, and the gravel was sufficient to avoid mud puddles in spite of a good bit of rain.

Price reflects PA discount + ‘resort fee.’ Very close to Mammoth Cave. People here very friendly, restrooms/showers clean, and security members on golf carts make several rounds. Seems like quite a few ‘long term’ residents with older campers/park models with lots of stuff sitting out. Everything just seems older and needs some ‘spiffing up,’ although they were mowing the morning we left. But this met our needs so we’d stay again.

Diamond Caverns Thousand Trails is just inside Mammoth Cave National Park about 10-15 minutes from the main visitor center. We stayed there March 30th - April 4th and the weather ranged from the high 20’s and 30s overnight to rain and lightning storms to warm and sunny in the high 60s. It’s your typical early spring weather mix.
The spaces are far enough apart for comfort, though still fairly close. The spaces along the side where we were at (space A-2) had grassy areas behind them with fire pits and picnic tables. We were also diagonal enough that most of our patio side windows faced grass and trees instead of someone else’s RV. Other spaces around the park also had decent grassy areas. What I really liked about the park is that the spaces were in clusters throughout the hills, so it felt more like you were in a smaller park. Instead of RVs as far as the eye could see, you were able to see more trees and grass.
Cell service was good on Verizon and AT&T, with 3 to 4 bars each throughout the week. Of course there were slow-downs during the evening hours, but they were minimal. The utilities at our site were fine at 50amp with full hookups. Some sites are only 30 amp and some are only partial hookups. The odd thing is that the map shows certain sites as being full hookup with 30 amps, but there is only one water spigot between two sites.
Diamond Caverns has your typical Thousand Trails amenities: laundry, bathrooms with showers, pool, playground with basketball court, mini golf, horseshoe pits, a lounge, and event room. The pool wasn’t open while we were there because it was still early in the year and there was no store, but they do have ice and firewood for sale. We felt very safe there and had no concerns leaving our RV when venturing out.
Walking around the RV park is very social – people wave and stop to chat. While we only talked with the staff once (at check-in), the whole place had a very friendly vibe. The property is nice to walk through and has access to a hiking/biking trail that leads to the Mammoth Cave National Park Visitor Center. There’s a shooting range down the road, but the only day we heard anything from it was Saturday. We also had small ant hills (maybe 3 inches high) scattered in our grassy area but had no sign of them throughout the week. Spring had just sprung at the time, so it’s possible they weren’t ready to come outside yet.
For major shopping and your big box stores, you’ll need to drive into Bowling Green, which is an easy 20-30 minutes south. There are a couple of smaller stores in nearby Cave City. We didn’t shop at those, but did go into Bowling Green for the Lost River Cave tour, a pretty darn good steak dinner at Montana’s Grille, and grocery shopping (with a decent organic selection) at the Kroger on the same strip.
We loved being in Mammoth Cave National Park and just a quick 10-minute drive from the main visitor center. It allowed us to explore even after Brian got off work. We definitely recommend doing as many of the Mammoth Cave tours as you can and hiking the area’s trails. Both vary between short and easy to long and very strenuous. Pick what works best for you and make reservations for the tours ahead of time. We also enjoyed the Lost River Cave boat tour in Bowling Green. It was short, but very informative and unique for the boat part of it. They also have some hiking trails and a picnic area with some fun things for kids of all ages. Diamond Caverns also has its own cave you can tour; though, we didn’t go because the description made it sound a little too strenuous for me.
Overall, we feel Diamond Caverns Thousand Trails was a great place to stay and would have loved another week or two here if we had time. We have a Thousand Trails membership, so the price was definitely right (“free” with our membership costs). The location and atmosphere definitely make it worth the stay even if you’d have to pay.

We really enjoyed this location. The first time we visited, they had only certain sites we could choose and of course it wasn’t the better ones. Second visit we could choose any site and we loved that! We are full timers and we have 3 businesses we run from the road so LTE cell service is important to us and we choose places that provide WiFi that we pay for at our site. The WiFi here was pretty good as long as your site is right next to a tower. Cell service was like 3G but we have a weboost so we got LTE once we hooked that up. It’s right off I-65 but doesn’t feel like it. There is a dollar general, a gas station and subway within a couple miles. The town of Cave City is one exit up and it has more restaurants and businesses but Glasgow is about 20 mins away and has Walmart and more businesses. The golf course at the campground was $15 for one round of 18 hole golf and included the cart. The course is decent and my husband enjoyed it even though it was freezing cold (January lol). We didn’t get to explore any of the caves or attractions but we loved the giant dinosaurs near the Cave City exit. We will definitely stay here again! Had a lot of trouble getting level but otherwise great!

Thousand Trails site. Has seen better days. All of the amenities were in poor shape with peeling paint. The staff was friendly and the grass was green. Wild turkeys wandered throughout property. They had regular social events at the community center but we didn't attend any. The proximity to the NP was great though.

We had a great experience here. We are thousand trails members. When we arrived they looked at the length of our coach and offered advice as to spots we could pick. Once we selected the area the nice lady at the desk lead us the best way to the spot. Could not be happier about customer service.

The restrooms and laundry room are very clean and well kept. My only negative is the rv spaces themselves, mostly rough gravel sites, a little outdated.

We've been here a few times and each time it has been great. Its not very large, there aren't a lot of sites, but the staff makes up for any problems with the campground. It also has the best bathrooms we've seen in a Thousand Trails parks. Two showers in each bathroom, all with locking doors. The showers are nice and tall too.
Bathrooms are cleaned and checked three times a day and actually done three times a day. There is an adult only spa that has some exercise equipment, but we mostly used it to watch some tv and have internet access.
Cell coverage though is pretty bad. Even with a cell booster, we barely had any signal. We could usually get a phone call out at least, so that was good, but streaming anything online was pretty difficult.
The sites are pretty small, especially in the center B area and they go in opposite directions so you will have your side door facing the side door of another RV. The A and C sites are better though. I think all of them are full hookups with some being 50amp, though there is one site I know of that doesn't have sewer.
There is a nice pool, they frequently have events going on, I think one day a week there is a potluck and during the summer they do movie nights, a bonfire with marshmallow roasting, and an ice cream social.
The great thing about Diamond Caverns though is the staff. There are rangers that patrol the campground every hour or so, and someone staffed at the checkin desk across the street during normal business hours. They will also deliver any packages to your site, we even had a large 60 pound box arrive and they brought it to us without issue.
The manager is wonderful as well, I've had to deal with her a couple of times, once when a neighbor fell and she had to come out and deal with the situation, and Lana is always professional and respectful and does her job really well. She's very busy with the campground and golf club, but she will still get back to people promptly.

Convenient location to Mammoth Cave NP and other caverns/Corvette Museum/Bowling Green.
One of the better Thousand Trails park I have been to so far. A number of seasonal/annual sites. Front desk was super nice and even delivered packages from the office. Pool is large and nice. They have a kids playground and a mini golf. Nice and quiet park.
You are located right off the NP road. Not sure if "legally" (can fly a drone?) in the park but for all intents and purposes you ARE in the national park. Weekends were mostly all full.
Most of the CG roads are gravel and is pretty hilly. Some lots will have a tough time leveling. Lots of trees so could be a challenge is you have satellite TV. Lots of tent campers on the weekend as you are so close to the NP. mammoth Cave NP was really not on my radar to go to but I will say it is a nice NP. Highly recommended to go.
