We always enjoy our stay at Eureka campground. The couple at the gate are so kind. You can be sure we will do our best to stay there again and again.

Nice location, site I chose was right on the water and so beautiful.

No one around to check in with, but nice campers helped me figure out what was what.

Great lakeside sites, awesome hosts, and clean bathrooms. Only complaint is the sand needs replenished at the beach, bottom turns to mud as soon as you enter the water.

We stayed in Site 12. We are tent campers and this site is better for tents because its a fairly big lot with decent shade but still would need a pop-up over the picnic bench. Can see the lake and sunset fairly well. I wish tents could be set up on the grass instead of those sharp little rocks but oh well. I do like having water and electric in this site.
