Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
The Narrows sits on the lakeshore of Barren River Lake about 10 miles south of Glasgow, reached from KY-31E onto County Road 1318 and following the signs into the park. The campground occupies a hillside that drops to a gently sloping shoreline and is anchored by a short corridor of islands between The Narrows and Bailey's Point; you can camp uphill on the cliff edges for broad lake views or claim a site down by weeping willows along the water.












Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (17,092 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
