Great video thanks for sharing!
@@KYcamping thanks for watching and for the comment!
I have enjoyed LBL for many years. My 1st trip was in 1980 when backcountry camping was free. I have been turkey hunting up there since 1984 when my truck was still new. When TVA ran the place, the roads were much better. The 14 day rule is for one place. You do not have to leave LBL, just supposed to go to a new camp spot. But, no one ever checks. The longest I stayed was 21 days when turkey season was longer. I have only been checked one time in all my trips up there.
Great to know, thanks for sharing that! We just discovered it last year but loved it right away. Did see lots of turkeys! It did look like many more of the roads had been paved at one point. I bet you know all the good places, lol!
Great job on the video! I’ve been searching for weeks for a UA-cam video like this on LBL camping. Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching and the great comment! Glad it was helpful. We love LBL!
Really helpful info, thank you!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I can say from living 12 miles from LBL all my life that you’ve done a great job on this video with very accurate information.
Kudos to you!
Happy trails in ‘24
Thank you so much! That really means a lot coming from someone with history here - we try to learn as much as we can about the places we visit, but we will also be the first to admit how much we don't know! We love to learn and are always open to feedback and comments. Happy New Year and new adventures!
Going to LBL to try out dispersed camping for the first time this weekend, and y'all just happened to upload this video. Super helpful! Thanks.
Awesome, lol! Hope you have a great time - there are so many good spots out there! Let us know how it goes
excellent and thorough explanation, thank you. regarding the issue of making fire rings etc. for dispersed camping I am reminded of our "mantra" when scuba diving, "leave only bubbles".
Yes, exactly! Leave only footprints, take only pictures!
Thank you for making this video.
@@lgoolsb thanks for watching! LBL is awesome no matter where you camp, lol!
We love Canal Campground, literally at the canal between ky lake and lake Barkley. It's operated by army Corp of engineers. Beautiful, priced very well. Sites have electric and water. There's a beach, very nice boat launch and dock. The boating is amazing.....endless and warm by mid summer.
We aren't familiar with that one - thanks for sharing! It sounds great! We did see lots of boats on the lakes/rivers on both sides. We don't have a power boat but thought it would be fun to come back with our canoe!
is it open year round?
LBL is my playground, it's 20 miles from where we live. Big suggestion, plan your camp trip well as reservations are necessary, back country is fun, the primitive campgrounds are great. Wranglers is more for those who have horses, and trail ride. Hillman's Ferry you totally missed an epic campground!! We raised our kids there, lots of great campsites, loads of activities for the kids, and it's worry free! I didn't know that Hillman's had cabins, I think it's only Energy Lake, which is a great, quiet and excellent for those who kayak.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! So far we have only visited in the "off season." Maybe we will give Hillman's a try on our next trip. Every time we go, we find something new and interesting!
Thank you soooo much! I live in the Paris Landing area which is a short distance from LBL. You would think I would know more about the different campgrounds and types. We’ve been there several times on joy rides. We always knew we were missing something now we know we were missing ALOT!!!! Thank you so much! We are going there to explore today for our 26th Wedding Anniversary excursion! Thanks to this video I know different places to map out 😊
That is so awesome! Happy anniversary! Glad it was helpful. We could spend days just driving around exploring LBL and I'm sure still wouldn't discover everything there is to see, lol! Thanks so much for the great comment!
this was amazingly informative. Thank you so much!!
Thank you! We're glad it was helpful!
Moved from CA to Clarksville TN and got 2 4 wheelers and heard about LBL for the offroading and they also have camping.. I REALLY want to take my family, when I lived in LA I did go up in the mountains solo and had gone camping when single but in TN I do have some wooded area in my backyard and have tent camped with my oldest son (8) but my backyard slopes way down and then a gulley and then slopes up on my wooded area.. setting up camp on a hillside is an option but I want some basic flat ground camping.
Most tent and tarp shelter videos i watch on UA-cam work really well if you're not on a 25 degree incline haha.. i think LBL is only like 1 to 1 1/2 hours from me.
Anyway enough rambling, your video shows a great deal of options, I do have a toilet seat topper for a 5 gallon bucket i got on Amazon for what ifs but I think the lady wants proper toilets and shower capabilities.
Lol! I think that is the deciding factor for a lot of people. We used to backpack and were pretty good with catholic back then, but as we have gotten older we like having a little more comfort and convenience than that. Definitely give LBL a try! They have a dedicated ohv area there too! 8 is a great age for camping. Our boys are grown now, but we did a lot of tent camping when they were young. Great memories! Thanks for watching!
thanks for putting this together and sharing. great info.
Thanks for watching!
loved your video and the explanations
Thanks for watching!
❤FANTASTIC good info, as well as a very fair way to describe the ways and means of lbl. Very good Indeed
Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
Great informative video. I'm planning an upcoming trip to introduce my son to the wonders of tent camping, and this place sounds like a great area.
That is awesome! I'm glad it was helpful. We were tent campers the whole time our 2 sons were growing up. Even though we have the camper now, we still love the feeling of being connected to nature that you get when sleeping in a tent!
I used to moore my sailboat at Turtle Bay and always stayed on the boat. But now that my sailboat is at a different marina, I am happy to hear about dispersed camping there.
LBL is one of the best places we have found for dispersed camping in our area of the country. There are so many options for any kind of camping you want to do here, but it has never felt crowded. We haven't camped here in the middle of summer though, so that might be a different experience.
Thank you for making this video!We have lived in West Kentucky our whole lives and didn’t know any of this info. We’re going to stay at Taylor Bay next weekend!
Awesome! Thank you! Taylor Bay is beautiful, lots to explore in this area of LBL too!
Very nice!
Thanks so much!
Lots of great information on LBL! Have you hiked the full loop in this area? Now following 457!
Awesome - thanks so much for watching and following! We haven't done much hiking at all in LBL yet. Most of our exploring has been done in Heknbak, but we are trying to get back out there. We used to do a lot of hiking and backpacking but we've both had some injuries that sidelined us - Tim ruptured both quad tendons and I've been rehabbing a hip injury, but we're starting to push ourselves to do more hiking again. I really miss it - I always feel so calm at at peace while hiking!
Hi guys. Nice video. Been campin' LBL since high school. Taylor bay was all grass back then. I don't think ya' have to leave lbl after 14 days ya' just have to move to a different camp fer a day an ya' can come back. I stay away from camp grounds. Have fun. See ya' in the woods. ZZ.
Thanks so much, and for sharing that info too. That makes sense! It is such a great place to explore. We only discovered it last year, but love it!
VERY VERY great video!
Thank you very much! And thanks for commenting!
Im heading there this week!! Coming from Mississippi@@HEKNBAK
Awesome! We hope you have a great time!
The $10 per night is way more affordable. It has become so stupidly expensive to just camp! I'll take the $5/night but on a social security incone, dispersed camping is the only way I can afford to camp. When my kids were little, we camped for next to nothing and could afford it back then. And NOTHING has changed to warrant the high nightly prices.
I know, right. Now some states charge you a service fee to make reservations online at Parks. We camped at a location the fee was more than the daily rental, flat fee, but for a one night stay that was ridiculous. We're happy to support the parks, don't get us wrong, but that feels weird for a primitive campsite.
Thanks for the great video!! At 17:13 of the video do you remember what camping spot that is. I have been trying to find that spot and can’t seem to be able to find it
Thank you! The one right before the names cover it? That is Kuttawa Landing - northern end of FS 127. It is a pretty open spot with a turn around there, so not really remote or private, but easily accessible. Looking out across the lake though, you would never know it.
@@HEKNBAKthank you so much
👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great vid!
Could you please tell me where the hilltop camp area is around the 1940/20 min mark?
Thank you
Thanks for watching! That one is at the end of FSR 139. It's a popular spot with overlanders and off-roaders. It is quite a ways off of The Trace, the main N/S road. It is a pretty rough road and if it's been raining especially, could be very difficult to get too.
Thank you so much!
The locals call it Persimmon Beach. Many people camp down on the beach there too which is allowed but they have started writing tickets for being off trail if you drive down there on it, although it looks like the road continues. Stop where they stopped in the video and you’ll be fine.
I love dispersed camping, I like to find areas with natural clearings and only move loose sticks, leave no trace and leave the area cleaner than you found it. Pack everything out and for gods sake bury your your business deep, nothing ruins a potential camp site like someone's business left on the ground with the paper left on top. Bury your sh!! and pack out your paper.
Yes! The tp is the worst! There are so many options these days, really no excuse for it. Thanks for watching!
We used this video for reference great job that's alot it helped us out
Awesome! So glad it helped! Thanks for commenting
