Permits & Reservations

Advance reservations are highly recommended for cave tours and camping. Before making a reservation, learn about cave tour descriptions and camping. Planning and preparation will ensure a more enjoyable visit to Mammoth Cave National Park.

The National Park Service also requires special permits for activities or special events that are not normally associated with visiting a national park.
