Although the weather wasnt the best, the campground is beautiful. The restoom/showers were very clean, and the camphosts were terrific.

This place is great. Much to do on the lake, and the camp store has everything one could possibly want. Will return again this year before they close for the season.

The camp hosts helped us find a spot on a Friday evening as our plans had changed suddenly. They went around and told us where we could park so we didn't drive around with the RV and tow vehicle. They checked on us throughout our visit to make sure everything was going well. They went above and beyond.

Great site if you have a lot of people.
@StephenT431742 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #76
This is a very nice campground. Wish it had cell phone and internet service. Not needed for streaming or emails. More and more people depend on this for emergencies with family or alarm companies.

Campground and restrooms are always clean. They have cut down a lot of trees since we were there last year. That was a surprise but still perfect.

Wonderful campground! This is one of our favorite places to cool off during the Arizona summer. Tucked in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Big Lake, it's peaceful, scenic, and full of tall pines and aspens. There are a lot of downed trees, but we were happy to see new ones being planted.The campground is clean and well maintained. Restrooms were tidy, and the showers were adequatenothing fancy, but they got the job done. Campsites are spacious with plenty of room for trailers or RVs. Picnic tables, fire rings, and hookups were all in good shape.The camp hosts were fabulous. Friendly, helpful, and clearly proud of the campground. Their presence made the experience feel even more inviting.

Clean and quiet campgrounds. Close to the lake and so many hiking trails. We will be back many times!!
@LindaL9678479 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #51
I go every year and every year it is excellent. The campgrounds are always clean and the camp hosts are so kind and helpful. I would recommend this campground to everyone.
@DeniseH6389271 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #11
The camp hosts are kind and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and kept clean. Being able to buy ice at the campground is a plus. Having hot water to wash dishes in a dedicated sink is convenient. Having a shower is also great. The bathrooms are cleaned daily, however, the showers could use a really deep cleaning. Often, the same clumps of hair would be there for multiple days, and the shower walls need a good scrubbing.
@KellieS44EA22C · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #23
The campsite was spacious but there was not much shade. It looked like larger trees had been taken out and seedlings were planted instead. The campground was very nice overall. Clean and quiet. Bathroom and shower facilities were also clean and well kept. The lake was a short drive away.
@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #52

Campsite was treed and quiet. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful.
@JorgeH1EFA996F · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #41
All the wonderful trees have been cut down, sites are now transparent to each other, the magic of feeling your deep in the woods for kids is gone. New seedlings were planted, but better to return years from now an enjoy with another generation. Restroom/ showers werent work and they the ones that were get closed early! It would be nice to leave them open till at least dusk.

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.

@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!!!
