Right off US-101 in Eureka, this Costco parking lot functions as a no-frills overnight stop for road trippers moving through California's North Coast. Permission is required before parking, and reviewers note that staff have been accommodating when asked in advance. The northeast corner of the lot is the designated area for overnight vehicles. Nearby options like Shoreline RV Park and Samoa Boat Ramp County Park offer more developed camping for those who want hookups or a waterfront setting.
Noise is the most consistent factor reviewers flag. Delivery trucks run through the lot in the early morning hours, and activity picks up around 6 a.m. A littered side street borders the property, and at least one reviewer noted a close encounter with passersby overnight. Earplugs are worth packing. That said, the lot has cell service and the store itself provides access to supplies before closing.
The location has practical advantages beyond the parking. The Costco gas station is on-site, a Planet Fitness is nearby, and "quick access to a waterfront walk" is one perk noted by John F. Restaurants are within a short walk, and a dog park is reachable on foot. If you need a low-cost overnight stop between destinations on the 101 corridor, this lot covers the basics.
