Shelter Reservations
Advanced Shelter reservations for facilities at Lake Barkley can be made by calling toll free at 1-877-444-6777 or electronically on “the web” at www.Recreation.gov. You can also click on the recreation area name below and go straight to the Recreation.gov page for that site.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Barkley charges fees at designated camping and day use areas (not including shelter reservations). Current Golden Age/Access passport holders or individuals possessing the new America the Beautiful (ATB) Interagency Senior or Access Pass will receive a 50% discount on these fees.
Note: The Corps of Engineers will accept only the ATB Senior or Access Pass. We will not honor the ATB Annual Pass or Volunteer Pass. The Corps of Engineers will issue and honor the Corps Annual Pass.
