We love sharing unique places around Kentucky to stay overnight because it encourages both locals and visitors to get out and explore our beautiful state. One area of Kentucky that is very popular for a little getaway is Cave City and Mammoth Cave National Park. This park offers access to the world’s largest cave system and the region also has many other exciting attractions. If you’ve ever thought of visiting this part of Kentucky, or even if it’s already a favorite vacation spot, then we’ve found a unique campground nearby that is a perfect complement your trip. Rock Cabin Camping, located right outside the park, offers overnight stays in historic and charming stone cabins that may just become your new favorite destination in Kentucky.
Located only five miles from I-65 and just outside of Mammoth Cave National Park, Rock Cabin Camping may just be the most convenient campground in Kentucky.

The nine stone cabins are definitely the unique factor here, as they stand out with their bright, yellow trim and interesting exterior.

Speaking of the history of these rock cabins, the owners are continually trying to piece it together.
Facebook/Rock Cabin Camping They now believe that these little cabins were built by one man around the year 1928. They are made from local stone and the cabins themselves have undergone many renovations. The current owners are working hard to restore their original character, while also making them comfortable and up to modern standards.
Five of the nine cabins are quaint, one-room houses with a queen bed and a private restroom.
