Camping details

Choose the right site

Bright Sky lists 49 electric/water sites and 16 primitive non-electric sites.

The campground transferred from USACE operation to Bright Sky Campgrounds in 2026. Reservations are now handled through Campspot.

Bright Sky labels its planned swim beach as coming soon, so it is not listed here as a current amenity.

Lake access

Ramp and shoreline notes

Kentucky Fish & Wildlife lists a seasonal paved, multiple-lane launch with paved parking and a courtesy dock. A launch fee is listed; confirm the current amount with Bright Sky.

TARR local access note: Cave Creek is not a winter-pool launch.

Accessibility information
