Bailey's Point Campground
Bailey's Point is the largest of the Corps of Engineers campgrounds on Barren River Lake. It's located in the wooded slopes on the western side of the lake. The campground features 215 campsites serviced by five separate bathhouses. Many campsites are on the water, and all are considered tent-and-RV sites. However, Loop F consists entirely of sites with no hookups, which makes it the most tent-friendly part of the campground. Amenities include a boat ramp, a coin laundry, a playground, a picnic area, a swimming beach and hiking trails.
