About Eureka

Eureka Campground sits on Lake Barkley among wooded rolling hills and abundant wildlife. Fishing is a well-loved sport here; Kentucky's largest yellow bass was caught in these waters, and anglers flock with hopes of breaking the record.

Campsite was beautiful and spacious with views of the river. The staff/hosts were friendly and helpful. The only cons - very little privacy between sites, and as others have noted, the roads in, out, and around the campgrounds are incredibly narrow. We have a small 19 ft camper & it was stressful even for us.
