Eureka

Eureka campground is a small, beautiful campground with wonderful waterfront sites! The camp hosts were extremely nice and very accommodating! It is beautifully wooded and filled with wildlife yet conveniently located near stores and restaurants. We were there in late June and the fireflies lit up the woods like twinkling Christmas lights, it was magical!

Beautiful and quiet

**This is a small recreational area with swimming, a boat ramp, simple amenities at the campground. Eureka park/campground is right across the river/lake from the very large Land Between the Lakes park. There is camping in Land Between the Lakes itself, but Eureka provides easy access (there’s no fee to enter the park so staying offsite isn’t a disadvantage). Land Between the Lakes is an amazing park for any kind of recreation, from boating, swimming, and hiking to a working farm, nature center, Civil War history, even a planetarium.**

**Yay: The campground is right on the water, with the majority of the sites right on the water (and many facing west for sunset views). The campground is wooded, all the sites are large, but some sites don’t have much tree privacy. Shower house and the swimming beach were fine. There is a short hiking trail. There are a few boat ramps, one is very close to the camping area.**

**Nay: None.**

**Surprise: You can leave Eureka by boat and dock at Land Between the Lakes for a great trip. Great wildlife here.**

Near Land Between the Lakes 

Small 24 site campground with beautiful views. All but 5 are right on the lake. The small designated swimming area is convenient but the water was so high that there wasnt any sand. The bathrooms and showers are ok. The Chestnut trail that we read about in all the online info was overgrown and mossy. Because of the location, we would camp here again. 


Right on the lake!

Very rustic, woody campground with water and electric hookups.  Very quiet and beautiful sites on Barkley Lake. The sunsets were beautiful!
I have a 20’ camper trailer which fit in nicely. 

Small campground for mostly smaller campers

Just 4 miles from highway 62 in Kuttawa, KY and it feels like another place in time.  You can fish Lake Barkley from your campsite or just enjoy the waves washing up.  Level gravel sites with tables and a big fire pit with a cooking grate. Nice shade trees and some nature trails. There is a very convenient boat launch.  Patti’s 2800 settlement is just down the road and some good restaurants in the area too. 

Sweet little campground

Small campground with mostly all lake sites. 

Only two bad sites- 12 and 16, they are both up a steep hill. 

Stay away in July… the may flies are horrible then.

Overall the campground is stunning. 

Beautiful lake sites 

Typical COE great job. Spacious, with mature trees. Pretty level sites, but will still need blocks. Some, on the water full sun &amp; others partial shade. Off the water are even full shade. Not very big rig friendly, but some did make it, but only on a few sites. ATT &amp; Verizon both very strong signals. Only a 26 site park &amp; only sites in the 20's are away from the water. Very hard to get reservations &amp; when you can sites are limited. Locals book wasy in advance.

Great little park

Stayed just overnight. Great views of the lake with very fine gravel so it’s easier on your feet camper. Enough grass room for the pups. But entire camp ground is one way so it might take a while to get out. Some of the lake spots are heavy shade or non at all but even in 100 degree camp didn’t struggle to stay cool with one a/c. There are many people here who are set up for more than a weekend sense because of the waste totes. Book early many of the lake sites are booked for weeks at a time. 

Lake views for the win 

Pro's: Easily accessible off I-24, about 10-12 minutes in Kentucky Land between the Lakes.  The nicest site pads I ever camped at.  Afternoon shade!  Electric pedestal has 20, 30, &amp; 50 amp.  $15 with America the Beautiful pass.
Cons: Bathhouse has seen better days, dead mosquito's inside, showers hot, but kinda grungy.  Dead fish around the beach leave the area smelling foul.  The lake looked inviting to swim in, but I passed because of the fish.

Beautiful Lake views

Beautiful water view. Well maintained. Quick stop so didn’t explore area. Lots of space between campers in spot 13.

Eureka Campground 

This corp of engineers campground is everything you would expect.  Spacious level sites right on lake Barkley.  Just minutes from restaurants and groceries.  We can see Grand Rivers from here and historic Princeton is a 15 minute drive.  Paved roads in the campground and clean showers.

Perfect
