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.

Site 10 is huge and clean with amazing lake view. Camp host was super friendly and accommodating. Love her southern charm and very knowledgeable of campgrounds and surrounding towns. Couple drawbacks: swimming area water was extremely murky due to algae overgrowth. Also plenty of dead carps washed up to shoreline. Bathrooms while clean were extremely outdated with badly needed repair/renovation.

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.

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.

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.
