    I've been to Mammoth Cave when I was younger. I have never camped in the area, but I sure would like to.

    I read a book about hiking in Ky not long ago and it had a picture of one the backcountry primitive sites and it had lot of trees that looked like they would be awesome for hanging. her some info, this isn't the picture I was talking about though. http://www.nps.gov/maca/planyourvisi...trycamping.htm

    I would be more inclined to go there for a hang than some of these other far off places....

    Twelve peaceful and scenic backcountry campsites offer opportunities to find solitude and appreciate the beauty and diversity of Mammoth Cave National Park’s rugged hills and majestic woodlands. Overnight camping is permitted at designated sites and along flood-plains more than ½ mile away from ferry crossings or developed campgrounds. Each campsite holds a rnaximum of 8 people. All campsites except McCoy Hollow have a nearby water source. Boil and treat water before drinking, or carry in your own drinking water. Obtain a free backcountry use permit and a free trail map showing backcountry campsites at the Visitor Center Information Desk. Found this on Trailmonkey.com

    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
    PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.
