As always the campground was clean and well ran. The camp host are great people and always willing to answer questions or help accommodate your needs.

I read that site 13 is unlevel. It took almost 2 feet of stacked boards to get the front level with the back. Partly our fault. 3 days before our reservation, we got a new to us camper that was a foot longer than the old one. When they say no longer than 20 ft they mean it! Trying to leave we went too far over and bent a rim on the camper and blew a tire. So i do not recommend being above the listed length. The site was nice other than leveling issues. Very handy to the bathroom. Has a small hill to get up to the flat spot/fire pit, then 3 more steps to get to the picnic table.

@KevinV1108191 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #71
We really enjoy staying at the Canal campground. It is peaceful and shady! The only downside is the Beach loop bathhouse has not had a working soap dispenser in the mens side for three years now.

My wife and I camped at the Barkley Dam COE campground on site 72. The site was easy to access and had full hook ups. It was shady and level. The bath and shower facilities were clean. There are many activities available within the National Recreation Area. We enjoyed viewing the Elk and Bison herd. It was a self guided drive through a preserve. We went to a Wildlife Center where the animals there have undergone rehabilitation but unfortunately can not be returned to the wild. The area is a boating and fishing hot spot. Dams on the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers have created the Land Between the Lakes allowing commercial barge traffic access to major rivers, and power production to the area. A drive to the Kentucky Lake Dam visitor center will impress you. We enjoyed our stay and think you will too.

We camp at Canal several times a season. Close to many activities in Land Between the Lakes. Close to restaurants, grocery. Grand Rivers and Benton are nearby. Easy access to the lake. Lots of golf cart and bicycle activity once school gets out. Hosts are marvelous.
@margenat70AFC8 · Camped on May 3, 2025 at Campsite #35
Love camping at the canal campground! The host are always so nice. Roads in the primitive area need a lot of attention. It is such a nice campground, we hate to see it getting in such terrible shape!
@MaryKathE6568E · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #74
This is an absolutely beautiful campground. Employees are just awesome very friendly and helpful. AT&T worked pretty good there. If you have a golf cart make sure you have a bike flag and a triangle reflector and youll have to get a license to drive back-and-forth from Patty settlement its worth. Cant wait till we get back there again.
@DaneHB2FB4D6F7 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #105
Very nice park
@lesas91C103877 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #69
We have camped here many times. Always enjoy our visit. The only minus would be that the mowing crew needs to turn the mowers away from throwing rocks etc near our campers and vehicles.
@RickyG6776441 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #31
staff is always friendly and helpful, ground are always well kept
@VictoriaB38679 · Camped on Apr 27, 2025 at Campsite #12
We saw lots of wildlife, deer, red-headed woodpeckers, a pileated woodpecker, squirrels and a raccoon. We went hiking at Land Between the Lakes and enjoyed our stay at Canal Campground. We have been to a lot of campgrounds in many states but agree that Canal is our favorite.
@ClaytonPA1B21E · Camped on Apr 26, 2025 at Campsite #46
Campground is clean and well maintained. The staff is excellent. This is our favorite, highly recommend.
@MicheleF520251 · Camped on Apr 26, 2025 at Campsite #95
Wasn't sure to give a 3 or 4. Depending on which loop you were in what the sites were like. Some of the roads are in need of a little help. If there is a lot of rain, there are a lot of places that have a lot of runoff, hence, cracking.
@ClaraV6D44C60E · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #8
This was an EXCELLENT spot with a beautiful view of the water. Private and farther away from other campsites than a lot of options. Saw and heard TONS of wildlife!! The birds in the morning were just amazing!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
