About
Eureka Campground sits on Lake Barkley among wooded rolling hills and abundant wildlife in Lyon County, Kentucky. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this campground offers 26 sites with water and electric hookups, making it ideal for RVers seeking lakeside camping. The campground features hot showers, a playground, boat ramp, and swimming area. A picnic shelter is available for groups up to 100 guests. Fishing is a well-loved sport here; Kentucky's largest yellow bass was caught in these waters, and anglers flock with hopes of breaking the record. The 2.5-mile Chestnut Oaks Trail starts at the campground and is popular with hikers and bikers. Other activities include boating, water skiing, and swimming. Lake Barkley is connected by a canal to Kentucky Lake, forming one of the nation's greatest freshwater recreation complexes. Between the two lakes is Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, featuring miles of hiking trails and opportunities for off-road vehicle riding. Fort Donelson National Battlefield is nearby, where the Union Army won their first battle of the Civil War.
