About
Cravens Bay Campground is a self-service lakeside campground located within Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in western Kentucky. Situated on Lake Barkley, the campground offers designated campsites with concrete picnic tables and fire rings. Amenities include flush toilets (available March through November), vault toilets (year-round), drinking water from faucets, trash pickup, and two boat ramps. Ice is sold seasonally, and golf carts are permitted. The campground operates on a self-pay system where campers fill out a fee envelope and deposit payment in the Iron Ranger fee tube within 30 minutes of arrival. Cash or check only. Sites accommodate up to two vehicles and eight people per camping unit. Senior, Access, and Military pass holders receive 50% off the basic camping fee when occupying the site. Quiet hours are 11pm to 6am. Pets must be leashed at all times (6 feet or less).
