Canal is a 115-site campground in Lake Barkley. It accommodates car camping, fifth wheels, truck campers, and pop-up campers, with sites for RVs up to 99 ft. 115 of the 115 sites have hookups. Around 97 sites are shaded. Pets are welcome at some sites, most sites have a fire pit, and 22 sites are ADA-accessible. Maximum party size is 64. Like most popular Recreation.gov campgrounds, Canal books up months ahead, but cancellations open regularly. Campsite Sniper watches the targets you choose and alerts you when one frees up. We never book, hold, or pay for reservations; you book directly on Recreation.gov.
