Boating and fishing are popular pastimes at The Narrows. Walk down to the shoreline and fish amongst the weeping willows or take off by boat to fish in a quiet setting at Coon, Green, Beaver or Skaggs Creek. The Narrows campground is also near open waters for tubing, skiing or wakeboarding.
The campground backs into the Lindsey Nature Trail, where hikers can look of the steep limestone cliffs to get panoramic views of the lake while listening to the cicada's buzz throughout the afternoon. Or take a hike at dusk to hear the seasonal nighthawk call in the night.

Camp ground was a mess yard wasn’t mowed, bathroom had no toilet papper, no one was there at guard shack to check you in . Bugs was so bad you couldn’t sit outside . The people that you have running it could care less if it stays open. Tree limbs was everywhere and grass had growed up around them . This used to be my favorite place to camp and if someone doesn’t change thing next year we won’t be back

The grass was high and it was EXTREMELY buggy. We could not sit outside because of the swarms of gnats. Bathroom sinks were also full of bugs.

Our campsite was nice but we have been coming here for years and we were very disappointed in the way the campground is being kept! So many of the sites had tall grass growing up in the gravel where you park your tv and the picnic tables are. Not very well mowed and trimmed and if trees had fallen they were just thrown off the side of the road. We never saw anyone at the entrance. We were told by our camping neighbors not to go in the bath houses because they were disgusting. Just very disappointing to see our close by campgrounds in this way!
