This was a great trip! We enjoyed visiting Patti's for lunch and walking around the settlement. We also took a trip to Paducah to walk around and visit all the shops. We left and ate lunch at Buzzard Rock one day as well. It was a wonderful time and coming back to our beautiful campsite made it even better. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful well maintained campground! Clean facilities and helpful camp management. Loved being right on the water! If looking for a hike in the woods may not be ideal, trail not well maintained but would be an adventure if you tried it.

Traveling across country, we pulled in and stayed for only 2 nights. The location, on the lake is a great place to be. Caught several fish standing at the edge of our campsite. We hung around the camp site, did some work on the camper, fished, watched the eagles fish on the lake.

Nice small campground. The hosts were great. The bathrooms were clean and the beach was nice. I was in Site 4 and it was full sun which was bad during the day - no where to hide.

We stayed here for six nights and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful landscape along Lake Barkley. The campground isn't large, but the sites have fair separation and plenty of shade, which made the stay very comfortable. The crew was exceptionally kind, attentive, efficient, and truly dedicated to campers. The facilities are a bit older, but they are very well maintained and spotlessly clean. For us, it felt like discovering a true gem, and we'd highly recommend it to fellow RVers looking for a peaceful, well-run spot on the water. We'd happily return We camped at Eureka Recreation Area in a Travel Trailer.
