We are driving from Detroit area thru to Memphis and want to stay somewhere close to the Mammoth Caves park. Any suggestions for a city / town near the interstate and the park?

Thanks for your help.

Do you know anything about Barren River State Resort Park? Is it close the Mammoth Caves park? Also Cave Springs Bed and Breakfast in Smith%26#39;s Grove?

Once again, thanks for the help.

I would highly recommend the relatively new Comfort Inn %26amp; Suites in Cave City. I am not familiar with the other places you asked about. The Comfort Inn %26amp; Suites is only about 8 miles from the park and has extremely clean rooms. We stayed in one of the suites, and it was quite large with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was lovely. They also have a very nice continental breakfast. I have a review on this site. Check it out!

I also highly recommend the Sahara Steak House in Cave City . It was our best meal of the vacation, and we visited 3 states! The meats melt in your mouth, and the vegetable soup is wonderful!

I%26#39;m not sure when you are visiting, but I strongly recommend advance reservations for the cave tours, especially in summer. They sell out quickly, especially on weekends. I also have a review of Mammoth Cave on the site. Feel free to check that one also. If you need any help/advice on which tour to take, let me know. There are tours for all abilities. They are described quite well on nps.gov under Mammoth Cave. Advance reservations can be made at recreation.gov.

Have a great trip!

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out Comfort Inn and Suites. Also the sites you recommend for the caves. We are going in early March, so I wouldn%26#39;t think it would be that busy. Not sure what tour to take, but I will do some research.

Reservations for the tours are a necessity in summer - but still a good idea in March - especially on a weekend. And during the week, you could be competing with school groups.
