Wonderful lake and campsites are not on top of each other. Close to town as well.

The area was clean and beautiful. We had a very nice stay.

Electricity did not work. Otherwise, great location.
@AudreyJ5264009 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #20
Vault toilets need to be cleaned daily. If a day is skipped it's too smelly to use.
@JeanneS20FEB63 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #12
It's a lovely, quiet campground, well-kept with friendly hosts. Beautiful setting with plentiful hiking nearby.

It was very quiet most of the week. Some noisy neighbors moved in for the weekend, but quiet hours were mostly observed. Although there were threats of rain all week, for the most part the weather was pleasant with occasional cools winds. Overall a very relaxing retreat from the hubbub of daily life at home!

West Lake Site 12 was fantastic. We overlooked the lake, the campground was amazingly quiet during the week. The site was far enough from other sites we felt comfortable. The campground hosts were very freindly and helpful. The restrooms were very clean and free of flies and stink. Overall this was a great experience.
@CortneySDBDE0D · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #28
Was overall great. Our site did feel a little compact but would stay again!
@TracyC8170684 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #12
Im not sure if the people, Nikki and her husband, were actually the hosts, but they were awesome. Super helpful. I did see other people who I think were the actual hosts but we did not interact. My only negative is that the bathrooms smelled HORRIBLE. Like, gagging me horrible.

We love West Lake and have been camping there since the day they reopened 20+ years ago. There have been many camp hosts over the years. The restrooms are not cleaned like they used to be, the camp sites aren't raked anymore and we found trash in the fire pit. The cost continues to. increase and getting reservations gets harder every year. It's very frustrating after all the years spent up there.

Great camping spot on the end of a loop. Had full power for the camper. We also had quick and easy access to the take from the spot we were at and we enjoyed the fishing.
@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #10
Super nice lake and campground
@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #22
Bathroom's were smelly and needed to be pumped out. Also all the trash container's were full and over-flowing.
@LoriDB1E57AE42 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #27
Its an OK campground. Better to get a site on the right side of the main entrance to be away from the highway noise and day use area.
@AliceW7260330 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #10
Very pleasant as usual. Just wish it wasnt so hard to reserve a spot, we would come more often.
@GregS1457823 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #12
This is a beautiful spot. The campsites are widely separated and well kept. So quiet my phone's sound meter equated it to a quiet library. Vault toilet was very well kept. This is definitely a gem.
@MARYANNSDF2FF1 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #9
Campsites are spaced out with easy lake access.
@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #17
Overall, our stay went superbly! Our only complaint was the odors in the latrines seemed especially caustic several days during the week.
@SheriHF3E6DF41 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #7
Very clean campground. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean.
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #18
Small campground. Quiet
@SharmaDE5E7366 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #14
It was very clean and the lake was beautiful!
@RenataMCA9618E · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #25
We had the best time and the weather was perfect. Caught 19 fish (catch and release)! Our campsite was beautiful and the campground is clean.
@RickC9349179 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #9
West Lake always works well for us because we love to kayak.
@ScottA1901121 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #15
It seems to be impossible to ever book a site at Dowdy Lake. West Lake is the fall back reservation. It is nice but ordinary.
@PamelaR3069613 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #26
Beautiful campground, very peaceful. Restrooms were spotless. The lake is perfect for fishing and paddle boarding since no motorized boats are allowed. The walk around the lake is fun with deer sittings.

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.
