We had a great trip to Eureka campground. Site number 8 was perfect. A pull in site, easy to maneuver, level, and fairly spacious. Our trailer is 35 foot and still had room to park a truck and car on each side. Will be our go to spot from now on. Great satellite reception and also great antenna reception. Gorgeous view of the lake. You are also able to view the dam and lights at night as it is lit up. Picnic table is there and sturdy. An older wooden table very heavy to move and low to the ground. Neighbors are not to close. The hosts are excellent folks. They go above and beyond. Very very nice people. I hope to see them return.

Nice location, site I chose was right on the water and so beautiful.
No one around to check in with, but nice campers helped me figure out what was what.

Great lakeside sites, awesome hosts, and clean bathrooms. Only complaint is the sand needs replenished at the beach, bottom turns to mud as soon as you enter the water.
