We were in site A21. The packed gravel pad was nice and level with plenty of room for our Clam if we had wanted to set it up, but since we spent most of out time at Mammoth Cave we didn't bother. One note was that the water faucet was 30' or so from the pad, so if you use this site make sure you have a long hose (we did). The bathhouse was very clean and well kept, but the showers could use a little more water pressure. Overall a very nice campground, I would stay there again.

Our site was long enough for our 40 ft RV and held our jeep and boat for boating on the lake. It was clean. Sites could use more gravel and leveling but it was a nice experience.

We enjoyed our stay, camphost were very helpful. As in other reviews, yes the grass was long but it was mowed while we were there. It's definitely not as well manicured as other COE campgrounds we have stayed at. Our sited was sloped and it took 4 of the lego to get the front up but doable. We could see the water a bit thru the trees. There was good antenna TV and we had 2-3 bars of Verizon cell coverage. The water spigot is shared between 2 campsites so make sure to bring and extra hose. The campground was quiet and peaceful, we will be back if in the area again.

Grass hasnt been cut in a very long time.
@LarryJ8102724 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #B48
Our family was there for 2 weeks and it was never mowed. We had to get a weed eater and clean around our campsite in fear of snakes or other critters in the tall grass. The path the beach was not mowed and was knee high. The camp attendants were very rude and were curt when we told them there was no toilet paper in the restrooms. There were broken shower heads in the showers that were not repaired from last year when we camped there. Not a pleasant stay at all. Probably will not return until changes are made.

Loved our campsite. We will definitely be back.
@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #A20
First the campsite A20 was littered Horribly, cigarette butts, trash, melted plastic, soda cans in the fire pit I literally took a garbage bag and cleaned out the fire pit before we could use it. And as I walked around, I realize it wasnt just our site. It was over 80% of the sites with the fire pits full of trash. The grass on and around our Very tall. The entire campground was very unkept, From the dumpsters to the restrooms, weve been camping here since the early 2000s and were very Disappointed to see how rundown its getting.
@KellyW1008717 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #B14
Grass hadnt been mowed and limbs from where water had been up was everywhere. Surely with the price of campsites going up every year landscaping could be taken care of better. It could be such a pretty park.
@KevinB3052996 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #B29
no mowing had been done. you couldn't even walk in the grass with your small kids because the grass was so tall.
@DustinP7F4E59E · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #B20
Very busy and site and super close together. B20 was a nice site but had ZERO afternoon shade so was VERY hot
@TimmyAF436B5F4 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #B13

@RandyS7957196 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #A6
When we started camping 10 years ago this campground was well maintained. The last 2 years it has been less than appealing. They do not mow very often. There are weeds & knee high. When you have toddlers and the grass is too high for them to play outside it is very disappointing. We have a boat at the narrows marina, but have no desire to camp at the Narrows with the shape it is in. You would think with the rate increase & volunteers at most campground they could at least get the grass mowed. We took a weed eater with us to clear off our site

Great host and very clean, quiet campground.
@anitap7858045 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #B18
Love the views and people who camp are always friendly. Clean sites.
@DeborahW920812 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #B19
Nice campground. My site # B19 was long & fairly level. Caution many sites are sloped. Lots of grass around. Beautiful view of river. Extremely friendly hosts.
@tonys1459059 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #A30
When we go to the Narrows it is always a very relaxing trip. The attendants are always very nice and helpful. Would love to see it stay open longer during the season!!!!
@KristleKE860FA · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #B28
Have camped at this campground since 2017 and has always been a favorite of mine. I have had 3 trips here this year and probably will be my last. Host are not nice and very rude, they have their picks. They let some campers have 3 or 4 cars parked in one campsite, they let people have boats in between spots, which they used to only allow trailers to be parked in certain areas not boats. My sister had her pontoon hooked to her truck in a vacant campsite for no more than an hour and they told us to move it. That is fine but other people had theirs everywhere. Vehicles parked halfway in road, making it hard to drive on. Just very dissatisfied in this campsite. Will be finding a new favorite to go to.
@GingerH7933164 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #B8
The Narrows is a great place but the fact that there is no cell service has made us decide that this is not the campground for us.
@ChrisV1496137 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #B23
very good location. easy walk to marina and good ATT cell service
@DerikT0FA0D16F · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #A22
The corp needs to put more care and maintenance into the campground. Weeds all over the sites, camp site boundary timbers crooked and falling apart. Some sites needing more gravel as well. Ive been coming to The Narrows for about 45 years and it seems to be getting neglected the past couple of years.
@OliviaT8015973 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #B3
Nice place
@ClydeW6510943 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #A3
Needed to be cleaner lots of leave around the camp site with ticks and ants and no Wi-Fi. Other than that it was very good.
@GLENDELLHB2665 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #A26
Very nice campground with a super friendly camp host.
@TiffanyK879321 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #A14
I can stay enough about the campground attendants. They are excellent! Super friendly! We love getting to camp here. Lots of places to ride a bike.
@RAYMONDB773879 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #A32

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
