I went there to camp with a tent, the trailers were so noisy with their large commercial generators powering up their AC and toys etc. I didnt last the night pulled my tent and went home, two days of camping fees down the toilet, the system needs to accommodate all campers! I was warned by others, its a noisy, polluted by generator fumes camp site .

Love this place.

The space was easy to work with backing up my 5x8 utility trailer, setting up the 10x14 tent, using the picnic table as a kitchen, fun times! :) There were some other campers from a distance that stayed up late (3:00AM) playing music, singing along, sounded like fun, but I was tired lol. I look forward to going again!

My family had a blast! The group Location was fantastic. It really made you feel secluded by yourself out in the wilderness. Definitely coming back!

Bathrooms were very clean for vault toilets. Smell kept at minimum for June with full campground. Sites were a little close but not as close as other sites I've camped in. Camp host was very friendly and kind.

I'm thankful we decided to go during the week. My wife and I were both talking about what a mess it's going to be over the summer months for campers with only 1 spot to fill up with potable water, which happens to be at the same location as the dump stations. We made a suggestion to a park manager that it may be wise to notify campers prior to heading up to their campsites at Woods Canyon Lake to fill up with water, before arriving at the campground.

It was quiet n peaceful
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #8
Nice clean campground with toilets and water spigots for taking water back for cleaning and washing. Lots of shade and each campground had a fire pit, grill, and table. Lots of room on the sites for a few tents or truck and trailer or RV.

Great space for our 30' fifth wheel! Beautiful place! Will be going back.

Awesome campground I've been there multiple times, the camp host were fantastic very kind and helpful. The bathrooms are very very clean
@amyk3881819 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #11
The camp host was very pleasant, and kept the bathrooms really clean. Wow! Also, our campsite was one of the cleanest National Forest ones we have come across so far. We were impressed. The proximity to the lake is great. We were in campsite 11, across feom the bathrooms that dont seem to be shown on the map. BUT, the site backs up to a gradual hill with no other campers on that side. The campground is heavily used on weekends, and some fellow campers don't seem to understand that there might be other people wanting to enjoy nature. We will come back again for a midweek and quieter experience.
@DorothyGBFA082 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #13

@KristinK721393 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #5
There were two different host there. Both were very engaged and helpful and kind. Unfortunately we had to leave early as my camping partner had an emergency appendectomy attach while we were there!

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
