Baileys Point
Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers
New listing
Bailey's Point campground is the largest of the Army Corps of Engineers' campgrounds on Barren River Lake, with several waterfront campsites and scenic views of the lake. Though the campground is one of the largest, you won't know it. There is room to roam, five camping loops with diverse scenery, and private coves for swimming or mooring your boat. Baileys Point has a boat ramp for access to prime fishing, water skiing and boating. Several islands in proximity to the campground are great for a quick picnic getaway by boat. Birding is also a popular activity with a variety of species including kestrels, indigo buntings and bald eagles, and at night you can hear the calls of barred owls. Hikers can explore the C.E. Rager Nature Trail and the Robert Foster Hiking Trail. The Robert Foster trail gives you the opportunity to see the diversity of trees Kentucky has to offer, and the C.E. Rager Nature Trail is a nice short stroll along the shoreline of the lake — great for poking around and possibly seeing the resident white squirrel of Baileys Point. There are 215 sites for a variety of RV and tent campers, open April through October. Most sites are equipped with electric and water hookups. With two playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, basketball court and amphitheater for weekend movie nights, the campground offers plenty of opportunities for family entertainment. The 10,000-acre lake is hugged by wooded hillsides in south-central Kentucky, with scenic views from almost every campsite. Across the lake is the Barren River Lake State Resort Park, host of the Glasgow Highland Games. Other ramps and marinas close by are Port Oliver, Peninsula, and The Narrows. Not far away are the National Corvette Museum, Kentucky Down Under, Diamond Caverns, and many other day trips within reach, and Mammoth Cave National Park is an hour north of the campground.
