Eureka

Nice campground just no kids for our grandkids to play with we will stick with canal campground

Site #15. Electric and water are 75 - 80 ft. from the back of the site, if you back in. Mud/dirt is located where asphalt meets gravel. There is a gravel pile 200 ft. up the camp road - why it's not being utilized is beyond me. Due recent flooding, driftwood and trash were everywhere. Towing a 40 ft. 5th wheel - to get to dump station you have to turn left, at the hosts' guard shack (heading back into Eureka). When done, the turn is too sharp to make the U-turn to exit the area. Now (after dumping) you have to either drive thru the campground again or turn around in the parking area at the bottom of the hill to the right of the campground entrance. Those were the cons. I know, due to budget cuts in Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E.), money isn't there to readily pay for needed maintenance as soon as the need arises. I assume it will get better in a few years to where we can get back to the "good ole days" of well-maintained campgrounds. All of that being said - Eureka is a small, quaint, and gorgeous campground. The views of the lake are perfect. The bath/shower house is nice. Wildlife is everywhere - not in a bad way. The hosts were very friendly - as well as all campers we talked to. It's also a short drive to Patti's or many other places - if the need for supplies arises. Yes, there are some dead fish in the water and on the banks - and yes it does kinda smell, at times - but that's the way it's always been. Lake Barkley and Kentucky lake are lakes that get fished out of - and when a dam is involved, some fish are going to die - and dead fish end up in the water and on the banks. I'm 61 years old and have been swimming (and fishing) in the twin lakes all my life. The reservation process was pretty straight forward and the info, on each site, was fairly accurate. The nightly rates are not too bad. All-in-all it was a nice campground and we look forward to coming back when we can.

Very helpful hosts

Always love staying at Eureka. Wish there were sewer sites.

Awesome views
Awesome people

Campground is very clean and well kept. Bathrooms are clean. The Host and Hostess and friendly, very helpful and available. We look forward to our next visit.

We enjoyed our visit and will plan another trip soon.

VERY dark after sunset, finding site and backing after dark was Very difficult.

Had site 17. Morning and afternoon shade with mid day sun. Roads are narrow but manageable. Host are great. Campground very clean and well taken care off. Bathroom and shower house showing its age but clean.

Perfect in every way. The view from our spot was amazing. E5. We never used the restrooms or shower house so I can't rate those.
