We enjoyed our stay at Eureka - 3 nights, 4 days. It’s a quiet campground with beautiful sunsets over Lake Barkley. Everything was perfect, even in intense heat, except the 30amp electrical connection. Once we realized there was a problem with it, we swapped to 50amp, and all was well.

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.

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.

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.

we had to bring our camper home,and dump the sewer the first trip we made this year.On the 2nd trip we parked on another site without it being dumped.The guys were there one day this week,and no one was working.I understand that the dump station was messed up last year.we love the host,and hostess at the campground.I give a low rating this time for the dump station not being fixed I know for the past three weeks.

Excellent Clean and Level Site. Very big and wide gives you ample room for everything. The hosts are great! Keeping a great eye on the campground. Everytime Ive visited this campground it has always been very quiet.

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 Bathrooms while clean were extremely outdated with badly needed repair/renovation.
