Eureka Recreation Area

Beautiful area, deer in forest, many waterfront camp spots. Electric and water hookup. Dump stations and garbage dumpster. Bathroom could use updating.

Nice clean campground. Really, no bad campsites. Many up next to water. A lot of activities to do in area. Nearby is the golden pond planetarium. Liked my stay here.

A hidden gem of a campground! My husband and I stayed there for a few days enjoying the fact that it hugs Barkley Lake in Kentucky. There are some spots that are directly on the water, but we choose a spot a bit further back (21) that had more room for us and our two dogs. We still could walk a few feet to see the lake better through the trees. There is a small beach area, boat ramp, dumping station too. We drove around the corner one evening to see an amazing sunset right off the water. Patti’s restaurant, Dollar General’s, and Elk and Bison prairie, are a fun place to travel in the area. The hosts are amazingly helpful and friendly! They will come by a couple of times a day to check on things and see if anything is needed. Some of the spots are a bit difficult to back into due if you hav

We just left Eureka campground. Wonderful views, great hosts! Our site didn’t have a sewer bur they have a dump station. We paid $60 for two nights at site 14 right on Lake Barkley. 50 amp, water. Would definitely go back.

Update July 2021 - blessed to stay here in #4. All sun site, at an angle so the bigger you are the harder it is to back into this site, but best unobstructed lake views. This campground opened April 30th. The campsites are mostly shaded and overlooking the water. Few are all sun. Picnic tables, shelter house, fire pits, water and electric only. Bath house, restrooms, playground, designated swimming area roped off. COE campground. Boat launch, parking lot all paved. Beautiful area.
