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.

Love the balcony. Everything was comfortable and clean. All the staff was friendly, helpful. But was disappointed in the cable. The UK game (state team) was playing and could not get it on tv. No local channels at all.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We arrived and checked in. I expected a nice clean room for $200 a night. I was very disappointed. The room had a dank moldy smell with layer upon layer of dust in the paneling. The cable was out. At a rate of $200 a night I expected more than a room reminiscent of a 4H summer camp. We went right back to the desk and left. As someone that was born and raised in Kentucky the shape of the lodge is an embarrassment. The one good point was a beautiful view of Lake Barkley. The exterior of building we were in was also dirty and un maintained. Did not appear that any of the walk ways had been swept or in any way kept clear. Will not return. I normally do not review establishments, but as I thought that this would be an outstanding stay at a beautiful setting and was so disappointed I thought I should voice my opinion. I hope this helps get much needed updates to the facility, so that Kentucky citizens can be proud of their state park facilities.

Actual room was not as pictured. Room was not recently cleaned. Has to sweep floor and felt dust on floor after. Dead spiders, dirty balcony. Had to ask for additional chair for balcony. Asked for pet friendly unit we were put downstairs not near and grassy areas. The lodge was not ready for spring/holiday guests. Property needs leaves/debris landscape cleanup. Will probably not return.
