Susanne and Arnold are the best host we have ever had the privilege of getting to know. We enjoy every minute we get to spend at Eureka.

We had a tire blowout on our way, and arrived late. The attendant was extremely helpful with helping us park in the dark and waited with his flashlight until we had everything hooked up and tested. The next day he came by and recommended a tire store and then came back again to check on us to make sure I had the wiring repaired on one of the leveling jacks . The world needs more people like this. 🙂😊

The campground is very quiet and well maintained. The road is a bit narrow making it difficult to back into site 6 but views are wonderful! The bathhouse could use some type of bug traps or spray to control spiders, moths, etc... .
