If you're looking to do a lot of things near cave city, stay in cave city or horse cave. Barren river lake state park was about 45 minutes from Mammoth cave and about 45 minutes from any of the family stuff that we were trying to do.

Conveniently located halfway between Scottsville and Glasgow. I went to Barren River Lake State Park Resort and the Dollar General. Satisfied with both.
