We enjoyed our stay at Eureka - 3 nights, 4 days. It’s 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.

The bath houses need upgrading and a nice level spot to fish would be nice. Suzanne and Arthur are wonderful hosts and we always enjoy our stay.

Great park, very thoughtful hosts, clean and mostly well maintained facilities.
Only issue was dump station was out of service when we arrived and still when we left.
It would have been nice to be notified of this beforehand so we could plan accordingly. If not for this, we would have rated 5 stars.

We were very pleased with the way the grounds and sites were clean and pretty. The view is also wonderful from our site. This was a well kept quiet campground. There were many places to fish and based one some of the fisherpeople’s experiences, the catch was many. We were so impressed that we (while there) reserved another weekend later in the summer. We will definitely make this one of our top 5 places.
