We really enjoyed staying at the resort and only wish that we’d been able to take advantage of some of the things on offer - like the pool and ping pong table! Our room in the lodge had a very rustic feel - wood paneled walls and lots of spider webs on the balcony’s railing (seemed to keep the mosquitoes at bay). The bathroom was very clean and bright. The bed was comfortable. The dining room offered a buffet or a menu for the meals we were there for (dinner and then breakfast). We opted for menu items for dinner and then the buffet for breakfast. The prices were amazingly low, and the size of the portions from menu items were amazingly huge. Lots of bacon! An absolute delight for me was to make a coffee in the morning and sit out on the balcony and look at the lake and watch the waterfowl and turtles.

Not as described! Room was not what was reserved and was dirty. There were bugs in the room every morning and night probably due to poor weather stripping. Intermittent internet at best which also affected TV. Room phone only for emergency calls so you could only contact desk with your cell which only worked in specific area of room ( otherwise was in SOS mode). Housekeeping staff was professional. Restaurant buffet was cold and greasy, waitress did not provide menu to our table though a different waitress did provide one to another table not five minutes after we went to buffet. Pool was beautiful though lifeguards took loungers and were generally unprofessionally. Scenery was beautiful. Beach was nice. Marina and marina staff were great.

This property really brings you into the camping environment. The view is stunning. There is plenty to do for a weekend. Horseback riding, bison prairie, hiking, fishing, planetarium, sight seeing and more. The room and area around the lodges was very musty. It smelled like you were in a moss ridden forest. They folded the toilet paper but didn’t clean the toilet. The back deck was mosquito infested. Like hundreds swarming around. (Unusable - do not open the back door). Air conditioning would not cool the room down until 3am. TV did not work. Best amenities- lakeside view, proximity to activities. Book if that is your goal. Do not book if you’re aiming for any luxury in your room and board.

Lake Getaway

Our experience at Lake Barkley resort State Park was excellent. The food was amazing and the great prices were a nice surprise. The rooms were really nice, the bed was comfortable, The view of the lake was amazing. The only negative was that there was a lot of construction going on and there were not signs telling you where you were and how to get to where you needed to go. When we drove up, it was very difficult to find the door to go in because of all the construction and the lack of instruction with signs. I’m sure that will be better when it’s all finished, however, it could be better now and eliminate a lot of confusion to people who have never been there before. But overall, it was an excellent place to visit and stay and we will definitely come back.
