Near Mammoth Cave National Park

Dugas Community Park is passive recreation park with rolling hills, waterways (West Bays Fork Creek and Potts Branch), trails, a small cave, several springs, a playground and a large pavilion. There is even a small wet weather cascade right next to the Oxbow Campground! As the name suggests, the campground is an oxbow surrounded by water with a tree line on one side. The campground is part of our Grasslands section with a one-mile trail. There are additional trails in our Dumont Hill section as well as a playground and amphitheater.
Our Oxbow Campground has primitive tent camping spaces to accommodate different group sizes. There is a portable toilet in close proximity to the campground, as well as a single stall restroom available at the Dumont Hill Pavilion. Parking will also be in the Dumont Hill section of the park.
Guests may hike or bike on our current trails and town is a short walk or drive away. Our property feels like the country, but is right at the town's edge for convenience.
