We only got to stay 2 nights out of the 5 we had planned. But it was a great place. Beautiful views. Peaceful except for the dog that yapped all night. I just fell down one of the riprap banks and had to leave for medical care.

Many of bath houses on the map are not there. The one on Deer Run had been torn down and a sign stated they were building another one. I picked my site to be close to that shower house. There was a restroom in Deer Run but it had no hot water nor soap. You had to drive past another none existent shower to get to an actual “working” one, but no hot water and a harsh stream that shot out of the shower stall. For a single traveler crossing the country this was the wrong fit for me. Short family gathering trips appear to be the norm at this campground!

Eureka is a small but well cared for campground. We stayed at a pull through site directly on the shore of Kentucky Lake. Electric and water only. The bathhouse was clean but old. We had Verizon and Cricket cell service. We would stay there again.

The camp host was super nice and very informative! The site was great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that it was almost impossible to back the camper into site 9!

We love Eureka Campground. We come here at least twice a summer depending on availability. The campground fills up fast, so you really must book early. We catch more catfish in Lake Barkley than in any other lake around this area. The host at this campground, Susan and Arnold are the best camp host ever!
