Site 16 was a spacious tent site with areas to hang a hammock. Conveniently located near the bathrooms and close to the water.

We got there late, but the hosts were very accommodating. It’s a really nice spot on the lake.

Oh my- the perfect place to hunker down for the July 4th holiday weekend. We tend to avoid camping during popular times but this year, it couldn’t be avoided. But we really hit the jackpot in finding this little gem. It’s a small campground with great views of the lake even if you aren’t on a lake side site. One way traffic helped reduce the noise and for whatever reason this section of lake Barkley is not preferred by boaters so it was quiet. Bath house was above average clean and I saw crews routinely keeping it looking good. Location was centralized so if you forgot something, stores were not too far of a drive. Perfect in almost every way I can think of!
