Nice location, site I chose was right on the water and so beautiful.
No one around to check in with, but nice campers helped me figure out what was what.

Great lakeside sites, awesome hosts, and clean bathrooms. Only complaint is the sand needs replenished at the beach, bottom turns to mud as soon as you enter the water.

We stayed in Site 12. We are tent campers and this site is better for tents because its a fairly big lot with decent shade but still would need a pop-up over the picnic bench. Can see the lake and sunset fairly well. I wish tents could be set up on the grass instead of those sharp little rocks but oh well. I do like having water and electric in this site.

Awesome! Camped in a travel trailer for a week. Awesome view of Barkley Lake and Barkley Dam. Camping spot was right on the water. Camp sites are not right on top of each other. The camp hosts are the best. Quiet and peaceful week.

The lumber for the old heavy picnic table has rotted out on site #5. In my opinion, the cumbersome rotted out picnic table is also too large for campsite #5. The camp hosts are friendly, helpful, and very efficient. I wish the Eureka campground stayed open the entire month of OCTOBER in 2023.
Eureka is my favorite COE campground in a 200 mile radius of Grand Rivers KY. A small and quiet campground with plenty of fishing, birdwatching, and golf opportunities close by the campground. Please stay open through October 31, 2023 because the fall colors, fishing, and wildlife viewing will be terrific in October.
