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.

Great campground with view from most every site. Hill section is on the lake and has a few full hookups. Our adult children came and used tent area and there site was also on the water. Public restrooms could have been a bit cleaner, but it was rainy during our stay and busy.
