The lakeside sites were as nice as any we've seen anywhere.
The shower house needs some serious upgrading.

It was our first time at Eureka. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Our spot was wonderful! My wishlist us short. The showers are less than private. The non-handicapped ones are to small to accommodate shower necessities because there's just one hook right in line with the shower spray. I would have used the handicapped shower, but the hot water didn’t work. Brrr! Thanks!
