Barren River Lake Camping

Barren River Lake has 8 reservable campgrounds, booked through Recreation.gov — including Bailey's Point Picnic Shelter, The Narrows Picnic Shelter, Barren River Lake Tailwater Picnic Shelter, Quarry Road Picnic Shelter, Port Oliver Picnic Shelter and Baileys Point. It's one of the camping destinations we track in Kentucky.

Campgrounds here are in high demand and can sell out within minutes of release, so cancellations are often the only way to get a site. Campsite Tonight monitors every Barren River Lake campground around the clock and automatically adds an open site to your Recreation.gov cart the moment a cancellation appears.
