#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.

Another restful stay at a quiet and beautiful campground. The Hosts are efficient, helpful, and friendly. The campers are laid-back. Several golf courses are in close proximity to the campground; therefore, I had multiple tee-times throughout the week. A peaceful vacation.

Love our whole time there. Had beautiful site on the water at site #6, to watch beautiful sunsets on the water. Shelter was very clean even though older facility and plenty of hot water for shower. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back.
