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.

Eureka Campground will beat all your expectations. Its quiet, you're not double stacked on top of one another and it's so CLEAN. Nice shower house and the managers at the front entrance are the absolute best.
