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.

Great spot with wide water view. Fish were biting and boat ramp for kayak launch was right there. A little tight for our 37’ class A but we’ll worth the wiggle in. Would give 5 stars but some entity is trying to destroy invasive Asian Carp in the lake so several smelly decaying fish kept washing up to the sites.

Beautiful Core of Engineers park. Sites were well kept. Camp Host was very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Will reserve earlier next visit for a lake site. Ours was on a slight hill, so we did have a pretty view of the lake. Dump station was easy to get in & clean.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The campground hosts are the best and so friendly! The only problem is that the campground closes way too soon. Some of the best camping is in Sept and Oct at the lakes. I hope they will consider keep the campground open during these months.

Eureka is a small, quiet, beautiful campground at the edge of a lake. Sites had electricity and water and almost all were shaded. We stayed during a weeknight on our way home from a different destination. The camp hosts were off the day we arrived but called us ahead to welcome us and provide information. The dump station and garbage area were clean and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!
