Campsite twenty five. Great access to the lake. Not such great access to the shower room and bathrooms. We hadn't realized there was a dedicated swimming beach, and in a future stay.I would opt for one near the beach and the bathhouse!
The camp crowned host was helpful when we checked in after hours. The after hours met , we knocked on her door. Not sure that's something she likes , but she was game to give us a hand.
We survived a shelter in place, thunderstorm in our tent. Really appreciated the gravel pad , which soaked up water.
Not something that can be helped.But since it was also a heat advisory , make sure you know that the lake is hot as a bathtub and not cool and refreshing like a mountain , like would be.
Four stars , because there is only one bathroom and it's at the bathhouse. A few outhouses would be helpful.

One of our all time favorite campgrounds. Beautiful views from every site. Campground hosts are amazing. Clean bathhouse. All sites are set up for privacy.

Great option for camping! Lovely campground on the lake, some sites aren't right on the water but still have great views. Bathrooms were very clean and had hot water. Most campers (the night I was there), were RV or trailers. Not many 'tent campers', but I didn't hear generators at night.
Only negative: it was about a 15 minute drive off the main highway, so a little out of my way (for traveling across country). Also, watch for deer at night - MANY of them. Go slow on road to campground. No 'services' within 10 miles (I don't think).

Great lakefront campsites that are mostly level, have picnic and food prep tables, and plenty of driveway for parking. The sun sets every evening over Barkley Dam and sometimes trains can be seen passing over the structure. Power and water in each site is well maintained and reliable. The campground is quiet and visitors are friendly and respectful as are the hosts at the campground office.
