We enjoyed our stay at Eureka - 3 nights, 4 days. Itβs a quiet campground with beautiful sunsets over Lake Barkley. Everything was perfect, even in intense heat, except the 30amp electrical connection. Once we realized there was a problem with it, we swapped to 50amp, and all was well.

Perfect in every way. The view from our spot was amazing. E5. We never used the restrooms or shower house so I can't rate those.
