There are many accommodations available in Cave City, about 9 miles from the park HQ. At that time of year you will have no trouble finding a room. There also 2 good places and a KOA campground at Horse Cave, exit 58. The "back road route" into the park from there is a beautiful drive through the country. Also, there are many inns and B and B's easily found by Googling. The Wayfarer B and B is right on the edge of the park, with rooms running from $ 75 to $ 115. I've never stayed there, but it's attractive and well-maintained. It's on hwy 70, west of Cave City, 4 miles from the park visitor center.

The rooms are being held until 30 days prior. They are $75.00 plus tax. There is camping, it is $17.00 and likely doesn't need to be reserved in late April. I believe reservations need to be made through Reserve America. There are also a number of hotels just outside the park in Cave City, Park City, and Horse Cave. There is also a motel/camping ground just outside the park named Oakes. I know nothing of this place. If anyone has information on any lodging, good or bad, it would be nice to share.
