Lake Barkley State Park Campground
I remember the first time I saw this state park. The beauty was surprising. The richly forested wooded hills enveloped me as I rolled off the highway into the park. Sun dappled through the trees. Birds were chirping, and there was a slight hint of cool in the early-summer air. Being a campground aficionado, I checked it out first. The park people had utilized the natural beauty and placed the campground amid this hilly forest on a steep bluff well above Lake Barkley. I vowed I would return one day to overnight. I then checked out the rest of the park, pronounced it a future must-see, and went on my way.
