We got there late, but the hosts were very accommodating. It’s a really nice spot on the lake.

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

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.
