We had a wonderful stay at the Eureka campground. The staff was very friendly and provided awesome hospitality. We had site #9 and it was perfect for our sit up, a 20 foot trailer. We loved the view of the lake right at our door step.

Great lakefront campsites that are mostly level, have picnic and food prep tables, and plenty of driveway for parking. The sun sets every evening over Barkley Dam and sometimes trains can be seen passing over the structure. Power and water in each site is well maintained and reliable. The campground is quiet and visitors are friendly and respectful as are the hosts at the campground office.

Great option for camping! Lovely campground on the lake, some sites aren't right on the water but still have great views. Bathrooms were very clean and had hot water. Most campers (the night I was there), were RV or trailers. Not many 'tent campers', but I didn't hear generators at night.
Only negative: it was about a 15 minute drive off the main highway, so a little out of my way (for traveling across country). Also, watch for deer at night - MANY of them. Go slow on road to campground. No 'services' within 10 miles (I don't think).
