We just returned from Mammoth Cave Natl Park yesterday. We did two tours, a four hour Grand Avenue and a two hour Historic. Saw a lot of cave with the Grand Avenue and it included many parts of cave seen on other tours, but you do miss the 'natural entrance' where it all started, as your are bused to/from some man made entrances.
The Historic tour does use the natural entrance. From what we saw we would skip the Historic tour and do the self-guided Discovery tour if the natural entrance was important. Looks like most of the tours concentrate on one or two areas. Depends on your interest. Tours were all sold out the days we were at the park so advance reservations are certainly recommended.
We stayed at Singing Hills RV park. It is about two miles outside the entrance of the park. Small, quiet RV park. Does have full hookups available and many pull-thru sites. Gravel sites, not overly large or shaded. Standard fire pits and picnic tables. Water was useable but very 'hard'. (It is a limestone area.) No pool, playground, etc, but there was a fishing pond. Not fancy, very adequate and
convenient to the park. We got a nice military discount.
