History
The history behind Eureka Camping Park makes interesting reading. 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. A couple of years ago five generations of the family were on the farm at one time!Campsite information
