Barren River Tailwater

Watch for the water

Tailwater Campground below Barren River Lake Dam is picture perfect maintained. You would think you just missed the tractor mowing. That being said the attendant at the gate was more concerned about talking to her mother about shopping instead of talking to me about the campground.

There is a HUGE field that was full of Boy Scouts there's also a group campground at the far end. Plenty of room for large groups.

None of the sites have direct access to the water but there is a boat ramp with paths along the waterway. There is also a nature trail in the woods behind the field.
