The Narrows is a family-friendly campground on Barren River Lake, perfect for water lovers and anglers. 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, and two loops are 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 campground is also near open waters for tubing, skiing or wakeboarding. It backs into the Lindsey Nature Trail, where hikers can look off the steep limestone cliffs to get panoramic views of the lake while listening to the cicadas 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, horseshoe pit, and an open grassy area to set up corn hole boards. Just across the road there is a picnic pavilion that includes a 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 and 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, and The Narrows Marina is a short drive just outside the campground. Day trips to other local attractions include the National Corvette Museum, Kentucky Down Under and Diamond Caverns, and 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.
