Permits & Reservations

Reservations

You may make reservations for most cave tours and campsites through the National Recreation Reservation Service.

Reservations are not required, but are recommended. Cave tours frequently sell out and reservations are the only way to ensure a spot is available for you and/or your party. Please plan accordingly. Currently, reservations cannot be made the same day of a tour.

Educational prices apply to Kindergarten-College groups. Please call the park at 270.758.2180 to schedule your educational group.
