About

Lake Barkley State Resort Park campground sits on the eastern shore of 58,000-acre Lake Barkley in Trigg County, Kentucky. The facility offers 79 campsites arranged in a single loop, with 73 sites featuring electric hookups and 6 non-electric sites. All sites are back-in only with blacktopped surfaces and accommodate up to 8 people. Driveway lengths range from 32 to 58 feet, making the campground suitable for various RV sizes. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground provides two central service buildings with flush toilets and hot showers, a dump station, laundry facilities, and a playground. Water hookups are available at most sites, though a few sites have limited utilities. Sites are relatively close together in a developed state park setting. Golf carts are permitted with a paid permit. Beyond camping, the resort park offers extensive recreational opportunities including boat ramps, a marina, tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, indoor fitness center, swimming beach, and miles of hiking trails. The lodge and restaurant provide dining options. The park is adjacent to the 186,000-acre Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area and is just minutes from the historic town of Cadiz. Reservations are strongly recommended during the peak season and can be made up to 12 months in advance through the Kentucky State Parks reservation system.
