We stayed at site #4. The sunsets and waterfront view were beautiful but there was very little shade because of some larger trees that had been cut. They are also very strict about not being on the grass with any tires.

We just feel comfortable at Eureka. The sites are large and most have shade trees on them. Very personable host and hostess. They care about their guests. Eureka is in close proximity to many conveniences, gas, restaurants, boat rentals, water parks to name a few. We will return to Eureka.
