The campground is located at the edge of the Environment
Education Waterfowl Refuge on Taylor Bay of Lake Barkley. Called
a "back country" campground, it is primarily used by hunters and
anglers and features great waterfowl watching. Boats can be tied
up at some of the lakefront sites.
The campground has two sections. One section is to the right of
campground's entrance and features very shady sites tucked into a
heavy stand of mixed hardwood trees stretching up the hillside.
The second section is to the left and has more open sites
scattered around a loop. These sites are along the shore and
have a view of Taylor Bay.
Seasonal camp site leases are available for some sites through an
annual, open-to-the-public, lottery. Contact LBL for more
information.
Possible day trips are the North and South Welcome Stations,
Golden Pond Visitor Center, the Planetarium, Elk and Bison
Prairie, Woodlands Nature Station, and The Homeplace.
