    We stayed here Labor Day weekend. We had actually booked and planned to stay Lake Barkley State…read moreresort park campground on our first trip to Western Kentucky, that plan was a nightmare and we ended up here. Because everything in the area was booked, a Reserve America representative let me know which sites were available here on a first come first serve basis. We arrived at about 10pm on a Wednesday night. The sites that RA told me were available were luckily empty, but blocked off by orange cones. We went to one of the camp hosts to confirm that we were ok to stay the weekend there and he approved and said to move the cones and settle up in the morning. Because it was dark, we had no idea what the surroundings of the site looked like. Luckily, the next morning, we found out it wasn't too bad. We were in site 41, which was a pull through site. That means that you don't have to back in. Usually those type of sites cost more, but we paid the rate of a regular site. Our site wasn't in view of the lake, but it was within walking distance. There was a boat ramp, floating dock, and even a beach. The entire property is so immaculate, I just had to stop and compliment a lady tending to the beach area. She was so sweet and informed me that she takes care of the entire campground all by herself. From cleaning the bathrooms, to raking the beach, it was all her. I've been to many campgrounds this year and this was the most up kept. That lady is amazing!

    This place was nice and on the water! Plenty of shade. But the tent campsites, you need to walk…read morethrough an rv site to get to the tent site. Hauling stuff not to mention bothering the people in the rvs. If you can get past that. The tent site is right on the water and it's beautiful.

    Beautiful State Park on Lake Barkley, it's also a National Wildlife Reserve with many animals…read morewondering in their natural habitat. The facilities and the staff are great. There's a beach area down at the lake too.

    My family stayed in spot 40 in this campground and we had friends on spot 41 and right across the…read moredrive in spot 4. The back of site 40 and 41 overlook Lake Barkley. It was beautiful. The water is not accessible from the sites...we were told it is a 60' cliff into the water but we didn't venture close enough to the edge to confirm that. Site 4 felt safer (since we had kids in our group) as it didn't back up to the edge. All of our sites had a little deck near the camper pad but our deck was in a little disrepair (some rotten boards). The sites had electric and water and all had fire rings, too. On the way to the sites (once we were inside the park) the road seemed overgrown and I was wondering if we were heading to the right place. It's definitely tucked away but was a peaceful, mostly empty (maybe because of the raininess of the weekend), campsite. The bathhouse was nice. The showers were a little small but the water was nice and HOT! There was a bit of cobwebs but overall, they really weren't too bad! There is a an area outside each shower with a bench and hooks for towels and clothes. The playground had tape around it (maybe from Covid?) so we didn't use that. There was a dumpster near the bathrooms. Our kids went on some trails, but we didn't go with them, so I can't comment on the trails. On the way out of town, we went to the beach. There's so much potential there but I wasn't impressed at all. It was disappointing. The sand turns into somewhat stinky mud by the time you get to the water line and overall the place looked unkept - some broken picnic tables, overgrown grass, weeds popping all over the nice concrete padded area by the bathrooms. I thought there would be showers, but there is just one outdoor shower good enough for a quick rinse. The bathrooms/shower house at the beach smelled clean (someone even came to clean them while we were there) but overall it was just not nice. The beach just seemed like a place that, in its heyday, would have been so great. Since this review is more about the campsites than the beach, I am not taking the beach into too much consideration. The couple that stays at the site are very nice. They came and introduced themselves to us and gave us a map of the trails and the park. On our way out they have us a hearty wave and asked us to come back soon. The campground was a nice place to camp. We had a great weekend!

    So we loved the overall experience. Kentucky lake is beautiful and Prizer has options for whatever…read morekind of stay you need. Tent sites, RV or Cabins. The entire campground is very clean. The marina is excellently maintained. Everyone around is so friendly. We just had a few hiccups. We booked our reservation the same day around noon so totally understand that it's last minute but we also didn't check in until around 7pm giving them more than enough time to ensure a clean cabin. However they didn't have our reserved cabin cleaned and the one next to it was "clean and ready" but upon getting inside we found tons of dead bugs and mold! Not just in the bathroom but also on the walls at a height where a kiddo or toddler could touch it or be exposed. To me this is unacceptable and a health hazard. We totally understand these are cabins in the woods but there were several empty units amongst us that were unoccupied and I can only hope they aren't dealing with the same level of mold. The only other thing we experienced that was negative was we rented a golf cart for $50 a day for one day but it kept dying even when the battery gauge read as fully operable. We broke down on day one and broke down again on our checkout day and had to leave the cart at another site. I'm hoping Prizer will be accommodating and comp us a future use of one day for the cart issues as I didn't request a refund but also didn't have time to resolve before checkout. The housekeeping manager and all the staff were apologetic and extremely professional which is why we will definitely still give Prizer a chance in the future. So all in all I would be wary of the cabins but everything else seemed well. Next visit we will be booking a bungalow on the water or bring an RV.

    I planned a weekend for my daughter and friends. Upon arrival, I was told someone had changed my…read morereservation and I did not have a condo available. After waiting an hour, the "manager" said this sort of thing never happens. She preceded to find me a duplex for the night and asked me to pay for it. I told her it wasn't exactly fair that my room was no longer available, and I had to pay for another one. She finally gave me to room for the night which was filthy. If someone could just clean the bird poop or perhaps use a blower to clean up around the cabins, that would make a huge difference. The next day we rented a boat, and the boat stopped working 10 minutes into our trip. We did get a new boat after an hour of waiting. This place does not care about wasting your time or reimbursing you when they are in the wrong. I would never recommend this dirty place to anyone. It is not well managed and nothing is consistent. Such a disappointment with all the money we spent. We were given the run around and no one was apologetic for all the mistakes that happened.
