The Narrows

When we started camping 10 years ago this campground was well maintained. The last 2 years it has been less than appealing. They do not mow very often. There are weeds & knee high. When you have toddlers and the grass is too high for them to play outside it is very disappointing. We have a boat at the narrows marina, but have no desire to camp at the Narrows with the shape it is in. You would think with the rate increase & volunteers at most campground they could at least get the grass mowed. We took a weed eater with us to clear off our site

First the campsite A20 was littered Horribly, cigarette butts, trash, melted plastic, soda cans in the fire pit I literally took a garbage bag and cleaned out the fire pit before we could use it. And as I walked around, I realize it wasn’t just our site. It was over 80% of the sites with the fire pits full of trash. The grass on and around our Very tall. The entire campground was very unkept, From the dumpsters to the restrooms, we’ve been camping here since the early 2000s and we’re very Disappointed to see how rundown it’s getting.

no mowing had been done. you couldn't even walk in the grass with your small kids because the grass was so tall.

Our family was there for 2 weeks and it was never mowed. We had to get a weed eater and clean around our campsite in fear of snakes or other critters in the tall grass. The path the beach was not mowed and was knee high. The camp attendants were very rude and were curt when we told them there was no toilet paper in the restrooms. There were broken shower heads in the showers that were not repaired from last year when we camped there. Not a pleasant stay at all. Probably will not return until changes are made.

I only camp at the narrows. they do need to get somebody to cut the grass. the last time i was there it was pritty tall. everybody was complaining about it. but it is my favorite place to camp.

Great host and very clean, quiet campground.

We enjoyed our stay, camphost were very helpful. As in other reviews, yes the grass was long but it was mowed while we were there. It's definitely not as well manicured as other COE campgrounds we have stayed at. Our sited was sloped and it took 4 of the lego to get the front up but doable. We could see the water a bit thru the trees. There was good antenna TV and we had 2-3 bars of Verizon cell coverage. The water spigot is shared between 2 campsites so make sure to bring and extra hose. The campground was quiet and peaceful, we will be back if in the area again.

Our site was long enough for our 40 ft RV and held our jeep and boat for boating on the lake. It was clean. Sites could use more gravel and leveling but it was a nice experience.

We were in site A21. The packed gravel pad was nice and level with plenty of room for our Clam if we had wanted to set it up, but since we spent most of out time at Mammoth Cave we didn't bother. One note was that the water faucet was 30' or so from the pad, so if you use this site make sure you have a long hose (we did). The bathhouse was very clean and well kept, but the showers could use a little more water pressure. Overall a very nice campground, I would stay there again.

Overall, this was a pretty good site. Even though it was cloudy during most of our stay, it seems there would have been plenty of shade. Leveling our 30 trailer was a bit challenging. We had to raise our front jack higher than we were really comfortable with. Although the sites are close together, the way this site is arranged gave us the impression of plenty of space and there was quite a bit of open area between us and the "cliff" above the lake. When hooking up water, make should you bring a long hose because the spigot is on the "wrong" side and is shared with the next door site. Due to the recent flooding and the closing of half of the campground, the A loop bathrooms were closed and we were told to use the bathhouse in the closed B loop. This was a bit of an inconvenience, but it'll fix itself once the lake recedes.
