Eureka Camping Park Backpacker hostel

Eureka! Camping Park caters for the 'real' traveller that wants to experience a country's nooks and crannies, come what may. Large groups arrive in all kinds of travelling vehicles to enjoy this backpackers paradise. At the dormitory-style 26-bed bunkhouse hostel you'll find comfortable accommodation and clean showers. There are also excellent camping facilities in spectacular natural scenery. Other accommodation is made up of simple 'A' frame grass thatched chalets and a cottage. The chalets and cottage are a welcome resting place for those that want a little more solitude away from more active travelling groups. This is backpacker heaven, the kind of place for fun, friends and story-telling by camp fires!

Food and entertainments
If you've been travelling for long distances, you can get stocked up with food for the road here. And you can enjoy a hearty farmhouse or continental breakfast for just $5! In the evenings, steak rolls, veggie burgers and hamburgers are on sale and in case you get hungry in between, snacks and pub grub are available throughout the day. There is also a well stocked bar with cold drinks and beers, barbecue facilities just about everywhere, a kitchen with a large freezer and cooking and washing up facilities. You can enjoy the farm animals and wildlife including zebra, buffalo and various deer species. There's also  a secluded pool, a volley ball pitch, and a large thatched bar area with darts, pool table and satellite TV.

History
Several years ago weary travellers in an overland truck needed a place to rest. At the time there were no suitable facilities around Lusaka so the travelling backpackers stopped off at Eureka! and used the farm water tank to cool down! The need for an equipped stopping point became apparent to the owners, Doreen and Henry Van Blerk, who gradually developed the facilities to what they are today. The farm on which Eureka! Camping Park is now situated has been in the Van Blerk family for more than 100 years.
