Really enjoyed my stay there. Campsite was great - watch backing in to the camp site for the ditch on the left side of the road. Took me a few tries to get in there but once i was in there it was perfect. Will definitely return and have already recommended the campground to my friends as a place to go too.

Well maintained sites on Lake Barkley, two places to launch your boat, the couple that oversee it are very helpful in every way. Bathhouse was cleaned regularly. Highly recommend this campground
