We loved our time at Eureka. We have decided that we will be back every year. It's peaceful and beautiful. People who run the gate were amazing and very helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

Eureka is a hidden gem. We loved the campground. It was very quiet, good fishing and everyone was friendly. Decent space between sites. The attendants were super friendly and helpful. I would recommend Site 9 for a small camper, it was difficult to get into. We will definitely be going back but will select a different site for our 30 ft fifth wheel.

Site 16 was a spacious tent site with areas to hang a hammock. Conveniently located near the bathrooms and close to the water.
