    Visited 8/26/20 found no staff present and camp completely empty. sites have water extremely distant from elec hookup ==never seen that before in Ga.,Ala., Tn. La. Tx. Lots of sloping sites w/ no shade and few w/ partial shade ==Really glad I only did a scout visit and didn’t bring my camper and boat=will not be visiting your park =it badly needs update on asphalt on roads and campsites. Badly disappointed that I traveled 250 miles to see such a poorly maintained and planned park! Suggest sites be bull dozed to level and re pave and water outlet moved closer to elec. boxes!.

    I’m considering camping at Barren R. campground for several days between 5/5 and the 11th but Dan Bragg’s critical review (Aug 27, 2020) addressed two major concern of mines, the slope on sites, & lack of partial shade. I was also concerened re the scarcity of restrooms & informative photos to reveal the meaningful differences between sites. This is in contrast to other campgrounds including most in other states where more written & photographic info is typically provided. I looked for a place to select more details re each site but couldn’t find any. That may have been my fault. I don’t know.
