Eureka Campground will beat all your expectations. Its quiet, you're not double stacked on top of one another and it's so CLEAN. Nice shower house and the managers at the front entrance are the absolute best.

The campground was great. We had site #10 which was right on the water and a very spacious site. Not to close to other campers which helped make it feel more private. My kids loved it, there was a lot of different areas they could ride their bikes. We would for sure go back again! Sites 1-9 are pretty close together but sites 10-20 are a little more spread out. Sites 1-17 have best water views.

Great spot with wide water view. Fish were biting and boat ramp for kayak launch was right there. A little tight for our 37’ class A but we’ll worth the wiggle in. Would give 5 stars but some entity is trying to destroy invasive Asian Carp in the lake so several smelly decaying fish kept washing up to the sites.

Beautiful Core of Engineers park. Sites were well kept. Camp Host was very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Will reserve earlier next visit for a lake site. Ours was on a slight hill, so we did have a pretty view of the lake. Dump station was easy to get in & clean.

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The campground hosts are the best and so friendly! The only problem is that the campground closes way too soon. Some of the best camping is in Sept and Oct at the lakes. I hope they will consider keep the campground open during these months.
