My family and I love this little gem. Be sure to use off or some other type of bug spray because the ticks where just awful. Other than that we will continue to stay at this camp ground. It’s very small, only 26 sites all have a lake view. I personally love how quite it is. Even when the campground is full you can still enjoy all the nature sounds. The coupe at the front gate are just precious and so helpful. If you have never stayed at Eureka you are missing out.

Eureka is a small, quiet, beautiful campground at the edge of a lake. Sites had electricity and water and almost all were shaded. We stayed during a weeknight on our way home from a different destination. The camp hosts were off the day we arrived but called us ahead to welcome us and provide information. The dump station and garbage area were clean and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!
