The Narrows is a family-friendly campground on Barren River Lake, perfect for water lovers and anglers. The Narrows Campground is a 92-site area located near a marina and boat launch ramp. It is a moderately sized campground that has attracted many folks to return year after year. There are two loops open the full camping season.
Boating and fishing are popular pastimes at The Narrows. Walk down to the shoreline and fish amongst the weeping willows or take off by boat to fish in a quiet setting at Coon, Green, Beaver or Skaggs Creek. The Narrows campground is also near open waters for tubing, skiing or wakeboarding.
The campground backs into the Lindsey Nature Trail, where hikers can look of the steep limestone cliffs to get panoramic views of the lake while listening to the cicada's buzz throughout the afternoon. Or take a hike at dusk to hear the seasonal nighthawk call in the night.
Each campsite has a water hook-up and electricity available during the months of May through September. The campground has an amphitheater, beach volleyball court, horseshoe pit, and an open grassy area to set up corn hole boards. Just across the road there is a picnic pavilion available for advanced reservation and includes an playground to explore. This campground is closed during winter months.
Find a place uphill along the cliffs or down at the gently sloping shoreline. Explore the islands between The Narrows and Bailey's Point you may just catch the glimpse of a deer that swam over for refuge.
Just up the lake from The Narrows is the Barren River Lake State Resort Park host of the Glasgow Highland Games. The Narrows Marina is a short drive just outside the campground. Day trips to other local area attractions are the National Corvette Museum, Kentucky Down Under, Diamond Caverns, and Barren River State Resort Park. There are several other family attractions within the Glasgow, Bowling Green and Cave City region. Visitors can also explore Mammoth Cave National Park, an hour north of the campground.
From Glasgow, KY: Take 31-E south for 10 miles, turn right on 1318. Follow signs into campground entrance.
Pretty un level for trailers and the hookups are at the back of the spot so have a long cord and hose. But it's a beautiful place. B16 has the best view.
Great place to take your family to go camping. Great place to take beautiful pics to. Love it had such a great time. And the people were so cool and nice.
This was our last trip out for the season, the kids always going on the lake, the facility was clean, but the light in the women's restroom area needs to be fixed and the laundry should be back to what it once was. Overall it was great.
Campground is really well taken care of. Nice and quite. Plenty to do while there wether you want to swim, boat or visit any of the surrounding attractions. Mammoth cave is about 25 minutes away so you’re sure to have fun while visiting.
Love this place... easy water access, clean, always a good time.
This trip was only a day trip... reasonably priced boat launch, $5 when not camping. 4th of July fireworks display at the state lodge is AWESOME, this year 25 minutes long. Shot out over the water, beautiful camera shots from a boat.
