Located on the Barren River near Bowling Green, this 12-acre site has plenty of open space for sports, nature study, and learning outdoor skills. A winterized lodge, a picnic pavilion, and primitive camping sites are available. The lodge porch overlooks the river and provides an excellent place for cookouts, relaxation, and arts and crafts. This site is good for inexperienced and experienced campers. For reservation information, contact the Caveland Service Center at 888-771-5172.
