Barkley or Kentucky?

[roadrunner]

Buckbassking welcome to the site. I crossed Barkley last sunday in a car and you could track a coon across it. I am like elnut and do not camp however I thing there is camping around Turkey bay on the LBL. You could probably trailer your boat to either lake from there. You might check hilman ferry they have some tent camping.

I am sure someone will give you instructions that is more familiar with the camp ground areas however if you do not like muddy water you should look at KY Lake

I didn't think barkley was too bad this past weekend. I won a tournament and weighed in a big bag of fish from mid-barkley on Sat. and did OK there on Sunday. This past week I have done great on both lakes. Barkley definitely holds a little more stain than Ky, but it clears out pretty quick, that is until the next batch of rain this week hits. I see some scattered back country campers on the lbl side of Ky. There are also some designated camping spots that are pretty nice and secluded - rarely ever do I see many if any campers on Sugar and Smith bay's rough camping sites. There is a decent ramp at both. But as of this week I haven't seen any campers there.

Barkley's not that bad just stained fished this past weekend @ Clay Creek and we did great .But it is going to rain more this week eH. Barkley definitely holds more stain than Ky, @ the north end Pisgah Bay .Sugar and Smith bay's all look good HAVE FUN
