We stayed in cabin 3, 2 adults and 1 dog (60lbs). It was exactly as advertised and exactly what we wanted. Cabin was clean and tidy. No unnecessary extras. Great place to get away from it all. It's very close to Mammoth Cave. Owners are very friendly and helpful.

We had stayed here for a week in Jun2012 and just wanted to say that could not ask for better folks, the place is on the up swing and these folks have a very sound family & friendly way. We were there with a group of others all enjoying the riding and sight seeing around Mammoth Cave. This place is... More

We had a very good experience staying in Rock Cabin Camping during Nov 2012. We were looking for a place that matched our low budget, but we did not want to camp outside at 50F. Rock Cabin was perfect for us as the room was heated using a small space heater. The room was clean. The shower was small and... More

We stayed at Rock Cabins on a weekend getaway to Mammoth Cave. Ralph the owner is super nice. Every time I contacted him through email, he was always quick to respond and helpful. I was excited to finally meet him, after planning this trip for several months, and he was just as nice in person. Our cabin was very neat... More

I'm writing this review kind of late. My husband and I stayed there on our honeymoon back in June. We had a great time and the owners made it very special for us. The cabins are very small, but have the basics. The one we stayed in was redone and pretty nice. Everything was clean. I'm hoping to start a... More

The cabins have been here since the late 1920s when folks first began taking vacations to places like Mammoth Cave by motor car. They have been upgraded over the years and are quite comfortable but basic. There is an area behind the cabins for tent and trailer camping. The cabins hadn't received a lot of attention of late but new... More

We recently camped here at Rock Cabin Camping. It's an older campground with new owners, Ralph & Lina, who are super nice & helpful. We enjoyed chatting with them. The place is quite rustic, but they are working to fix it up as they've only owned it for a year. Ralph & Lina treat you like family. The kids enjoyed... More

This was a Great Place to Stay! It's a veteran owned small business (Navy Retired) and well worth the trip. The owner's, Ralph and Lina, are welcoming and take the time to add personal touches to make the stay even better. It's clean, quiet, has everything you need, close to everything you want and is Pet and Child friendly. We... More

The owners were great as well. I love to stay at places that are different and these adorable cabins fit that perfectly. They are quiet and are obviously a labor of love for Ralph and Lina. They have created more than just a place to stay but an atmosphere. There was a bonfire and people sitting around it. I was... More
