This is a lovely campground. Some of the sites are really difficult to back in to - the road is one way which means one lane therefore is narrow with a drop off on the driver side which makes it tricky to back in to several of the sites.
It is very quiet here. Bathhouse is older but it works. Near 2 boat ramps one having a courtesy dock which is handy.
Would stay again.

We stayed at Site 4 and Site 5 and truly enjoyed both sites. Very peaceful to watch the sun set over the lake from our campsite. Nice, quiet campground.

Eureka has become one of our favorite campgrounds! Almost all of the sites are waterfront, the facilities are clean, and the camp hosts are warm and welcoming. This campground is also very close to Patty’s Settlement, so it’s a great weekend getaway for the whole family!

The camp hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating .Even helped us move our picnic table. Great park with very clean shower house. The only issue is the asphalt driveways have a pretty high drop from continuous resurfacing on top of old asphalt.

Our 1st time camping here and we loved it. Only 26 sites and we got site 25 & 26. Had water right behind us so our golden loved that and it is a great spot for kayaking. Very relaxing and peaceful.

I spent another relaxing trip at Eureka. The Hosts (Suzanne & Arnold) are terrific. They’re efficient, professional, and a joy to interact with. Due to their hospitality, it’s one of the reasons that I’ve returned to Eureka several times over the last few years. I hope Eureka stays open to the end of October next year so I can enjoy the fall colors near the Lake. So quiet and peaceful.
