Eureka was a great little campground. We stayed one night and plan to go back for a more extended stay. The folks at at check in were very polite and helpful. The view of the lake was very nice especially at sunset.

As always, Eureka campground was amazing. I almost hate to say how good. It is hard enough to get in as it is. Well maintained. The campground host are amazing. I have nothing negative to say.

We enjoyed our time there. Small nice clean spacious lots. Great camp host. Will definitely go back. We stayed at site #24 in a 34 foot toy hauler and had plenty of space.

Campsite was beautiful and spacious with views of the river. The staff/hosts were friendly and helpful. The only cons - very little privacy between sites, and as others have noted, the roads in, out, and around the campgrounds are incredibly narrow. We have a small 19 foot camper & it was stressful even for us.

The host was very knowledgeable about the sites and even told us where to expect the sun rises/sets.

What a beautiful, peaceful and well-constructed campground! It was a wonderful surprise to find it not far from the highway as we passed through the area. We may drive back from Florida just to stay longer!
