The weather was perfect, the facilities were perfect, and the toilets were clean. The only thing I recommend is to bring mosquito repellent.

It was a nice and very quiet area. I would come back again there was a burn ban in effect so we didnt get to bbq but other than that we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the is place to friends and family and anyone else who wants a quiet get away from the city life.

Quiet time not enforced. People playing loud music all night. Didnt stop until 4:00am

The campground was okay. I won't be returning due to the distance and poor upkeep of sites. The site I had was nice and somewhat secluded. Unfortunately, the sites were littered with trash. I saw rangers, the camp host pass by several times but none attempted cleaning the sites.

Ive been camping to a lot of sites over the years and never experienced the terrible level of hospitality as I did with this management team. The host Tammie was hostile and rude. She tried to use the Sheriff to intimidate my family of six. They came and left because we were in complete compliance with the law. She ultimately brought her supervisor to exploit a gray area to evict myself, wife and four small children from the site. If Tyrant Tammie decides to violate your use of public land then you will be fighting a losing battle. Shame on you Tammie and your weak supervisor.

Horrible couldnt grill so we couldnt give food to the kids. Also no shower how do we suppose to clean ourself after paying for the lake. Overall bad experience for $315.
@ChipM6992322 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #30
It is simple campground, not much to discuss. It's close to Pyramid, a great lake, convenient, and with a nice camp host.
@KimberlyM76848 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #82
Visited early August, weather was good not too hot. There was a lot of trees that definitely kept us cool. There's no shade directly on the picnic table, we brought a canopy thankfully. I suggest placing your tent to the left side of the plot so you don't wake up with the sun directly hitting your tent and wake up in a sweaty mess. The bathrooms were very close to this plot, and kept clean! There was also a water faucet in the plot directly in front. Overall great experience, would return !

#16 Was a great spot with shade but it was also unfortunately COVERED in red ants. There were several red ant mounds around the area and a lot of trash left in our site and the other sites reserved by family members. One of them had a lot of glass in the area and it looked like someone had tried to catch a bottle of lighter fluid on fire in the fire pit and left it.
@JoshuaL5397205 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #74
The campsite was very arid, and without some trees, it got very hot. Our specific campsite ended up having a fire ant hill inside it, and bug bites were plenty. With that being said it did come with a spigot for water, a clean bathroom, and a hike up the hill led to a grand view. I wish it was better, but it could have been worse.
@JuanDDF466F713 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #81
Campsite was nice and with some privacy, my.friends and I really enjoyed it
@CarolinaV6D213 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #72
It was a beautiful experience, and my husband and I had an amazing weekend.The campground Los Alamos is nice, clean and the host is kind. Our site was 72 but this one didn't have any shade, so we were lucky to find site 80 and it was a little bit better. In this campground, you can find some deluxe sites, which are nice. The best part was our visit to the lake. It was amazing, you can enjoy your day doing a variety of activities.100% recommended to find fun with the family
@TeresaW7312927 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #55
A lot of ants...
@MohamedG718F57 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #41
Mixed feelings, pyramid lakes barley has any shade, i would say 5% of the whole campground! That being said, make sure to take couple canopies with you with side walls! The site was very small and barely can take 2 small tents.
@thelmae1CE9E8A · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #GSA
This campground is safe and very natural. The flush toilets were maintained and clean. The camp host was very kind and helpful. This place has amazing views. We were able to see clear skies .
@RicardoH475870 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #24
Was good but doesnt have showers and it gets very windy and dirt flys all over the place
@HERRYK50BF28BC · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #21
First off be prepared for strong winds and hot weather. The campground gets very windy, especially in the afternoon and evening, and theres minimal natural shade, so it can get uncomfortably hot during the day. If youre camping, bring a sturdy canopy for shade and make sure to secure it tightly the wind can easily knock things over if not anchored well.Access to the actual lake area is not included with your campground fee. Its an additional $15 per vehicle, so keep that in mind when budgeting. That said, the lake itself is beautiful and a great spot for relaxing, boating, or picnicking.One highlight of the visit was the information center its clean, well-organized, and staffed by helpful people. Theres a lot of interesting information about the lake, the surrounding area, and water resources in California.
@StefanieNF1D56 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #33
Pyramid Lake was a convenient stop to break up a drive from Oakland to San Diego! There were lots of rabbits running around the campsite, which was adorable. The host was nice, the bathrooms were clean, and the sites were well-maintained. All that being said, it was basically an open field area without much shade or privacy so I would not go out of my way to camp there.It worked, for all in-tents-ive purposes.
@DaniB144995A8C · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #17
Lovely campsite! Bathrooms were clean and there were some water sources scattered amongst some sites. Plenty of space and privacy in our specific spot.
@AmandaW2167129 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #28
Quiet, clean facilities.
@VeenaM007232B3 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #8
This is a great campground with a lot of open space and great views of the mountains. The lake is actually miles from the campground, so don't expect views of it. The grounds are well-maintained, as are the bathrooms. There are no bear lockers, but this isn't really a bear area so it doesn't matter much. Site 08 doesn't have any shade but depending on when you go, that's not really an issue. The access road is fine for any car really and maps may show Hard Luck Rd is closed, but that's after the camp entrance. Still had a great time chilling here...views for days.
@michaelg734741 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #76
Got to the site and found a couple already in this spot. They said someone took their spot so they took mine. Had to share my second spot with my whole family....
@LilianaL998D30 · Camped on Nov 28, 2024 at Campsite #43
Empty and nobody to guide us, bath where clean I cant complain but no showers big deal. Our campground it was so rocky and bumpy lol no way to put our tent.
@ashleyd3442326 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #27
Loop 2 Site 27 was a nice spot but there was hardly any shade (Sep 20-22). The location is all incline with barely any flat areas, we were all sliding down our sleeping mats throughout the night. While walking around the campground loops, Loop 4 looked the nicest and seemed to have the most flat land of them all. Different entrances to Pyramid Lake are a short drive away (between 8-20 min depending on which entrance you go into). Theres a small camp store at the entrance of the campgrounds that has camping essentials, but no wood was available (temporary fire ban). You can see some controlled burn areas within some of the loops. There are flush toilets at each loop which is a luxury but the stalls in Loop 2 frequently ran out of toilet paper, one of the stalls had no lights, water flooded all over the floors. There are trash cans within close proximity. There are fire pits which this specific site has a huge boulder by the pit (it was a nice companion to sit with haha). The listing says bear approved canisters are required but no ranger or host came by to greet us nor check (even so I would not want to risk it.. just get the canister!)

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
