We camped in a 34' 5th wheel and had a waterfront campsite that was level and spacious. There's enough room on many of the campsites to park your boat. Most campsites have a great view of Dale Hollow Lake. They have a marina with a restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating. Free laundry. Clean restrooms.

Obey River Park Attendants Lisa and Jeff were very helpful throughout our stay, very friendly and courteous. We were disappointed in the fact that all restrooms were not cleaned 2 days a week when cleaning staff were of on those days. We feel that all bathrooms should be cleaned on a daily basis.

My family and I visit Obey River Park and Campground often and we love it there. Jeff and Lisa, the park attendants, are always welcoming and helpful. We love the views of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake that are accessible from many of the campsites. We feel safe here as several times a day the local sheriff's department has officers drive through the park. The US Army Corps of Engineers also has rangers that drive through the park daily. Just up the road in Byrdstown are some great restaurants to visit such as the Dixie Cafe, the Bobcat Den, the Farmhouse and smaller eateries such as Southern Dreams Bakery and Lakeside Sno. Closer to the campground you can find Sunset Marina within walking distance which has a store, and a restaurant called the Steel Coop. There are also several stores in Byrdstown to stock up on groceries and other supplies including approved firewood. If you like to swim or sunbathe you also have access to the swimming area just outside the campground park.

We camp here every year and always have a great time. Will be nice when the water is fixed though.

Jeff and Lisa work hard to make Obey River camp ground a family friendly camping experience. We have always felt very safe when we are there because they make everyone obey the rules. Unlike some of the other campgrounds that rules and safety are ignored.

I thought the police presence was great. I saw them cruising the campground. My family and I felt safe. My daughter came to eat supper with us and the people at check in told her she could only stay 15 minutes?? I did NOT like that. Paying $3.00 to come in to visit is ridicules! I do not like this! The grass needed mowing. We stayed 4 nights and the day we left is when it was being mowed. It hadn’t been mowed in a while.
