We checked in on 6/15. We had site 15. There were two big mud holes at the front of the site. I was told twice that gravel would be brought in and cover the mud and water. We left on 6/20, still no gravel. We had rain during the week , our site was under water several times. Water standing in the mud holes. This was our first experience at this campground, very dissatisfied.

We love Eureka for trips with our grandchildren and also for just the two of us. The beach is well maintained and the playground is fun. We love to just take a walk around the area with our grandkids or ride our electric bikes when it is just us two. (Too many hills to ride regular bikes). Can’t beat the scenery. The campground host have become friends through all the years we have camped here. We make our reservations exactly 6 months before we want to go. It is such a great place it’s hard to get in. The sites are placed so that it feels like you don’t have neighbors. We love it!!!
