We had a great time camping at Eureka. Out site was beautiful - right on the water which allowed for gorgeous sunsets. Camp hostess was very nice. We definitely plan on returning.

Very lovely and quiet campground. Clean and spacious camp sites. The only downfall is the toilet paper. I would pay an exter 2-3 dollars a night for good toilet paper

We had a great trip to Eureka campground. Site number 8 was perfect. A pull in site, easy to maneuver, level, and fairly spacious. Our trailer is 35 foot and still had room to park a truck and car on each side. Will be our go to spot from now on. Great satellite reception and also great antenna reception. Gorgeous view of the lake. You are also able to view the dam and lights at night as it is lit up. Picnic table is there and sturdy. An older wooden table very heavy to move and low to the ground. Neighbors are not to close. The hosts are excellent folks. They go above and beyond. Very very nice people. I hope to see them return.

Please stay open next year until October 31, 2023! The wonderful campground hosts are helpful and efficient. The demand for potential October 2023 reservations at Eureka from the public is a popular topic from campers during the last few years who visit this beautiful campground.
