Excellent Clean and Level Site. Very big and wide gives you ample room for everything. The hosts are great! Keeping a great eye on the campground. Everytime Ive visited this campground it has always been very quiet.

Site 10 is huge and clean with amazing lake view. Camp host was super friendly and accommodating. Love her southern charm and very knowledgeable of campgrounds and surrounding towns. Couple drawbacks: swimming area water was extremely murky due to algae overgrowth. Also plenty of dead carps washed up to shoreline. Bathrooms while clean were extremely outdated with badly needed repair/renovation.

#4 we have a good time here on #4. You couldn't ask for any better hosts. They both are super nice and very helpful. They keep a great eye on the campground. The site itself. Is very sunny. There is zero shade. Full sun hits about 11 am and your bright until sundown. Our camper was 35 ft with 3 slides. We were almost to big for the site making the open area of the site small. Couldn't have a fire because our slide was to close to the pit. You are right on the water and fishing in front of your camper is great. We caught huge catfish, one was 9 lbs

Our 1st time at Eureka. Great location with very nicely kept spaces. Most well shaded during all or part of the day. Very peaceful and very friendly folks camping there. From talking to several of them, most are repeat campers and its easy to see why. Suzanne was wonderful on the phone prior to our arrival, answered many questions about spaces and when we arrived enabled us to move to a location that was closer to a relative that was also camping there. Would definitely recommend Eureka. If you have a large rig you might call to make sure the site you want works well for you, many large but some smaller.
