Need help on a place to vacation?

Not too sure how far you want to drive? I have had some great time fishing Shenandoah River in Virginia. Great place to camp, fish, canoe, etc. Catching fish that time of year can be easy. Have had several trips where 80+ per boat per day is common... Look at www.downriver.com for canoe rental info. There is a nice campground right across the river from the canoe company. It takes a solid 7-8 hours to get to Bentonville, VA from Lexington, KY.

If the COE has Lake Cumberland at the level they want in June / July the Cumb. River will be low and it's a great place to wade fish with the chance of catching some pretty big trout. Kendall is a great campground and you also have the option of making short drives to wade at Helms Landing, the rockhouse, or Winfrey's Ferry. Of course you can also drive right above the dam and bank fish in the lake. Good luck.

If you plan on wading ,be sure to wear waders..water temperature is cold..50 plus degrees. Don't how old your kids are but they should be supervise at all times..water can rise very quickly. Horn will sound to advise fisherman to watch out, adhere to this warning.

Thanks guys, leaning towards barron. But if anyone else has any ideas let me know.

As other posters have stated Baileys Point On Barren is a first rate camp. Well run, nice people, good ramp, nice facilities and so on, you won't be disappointed.
