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.

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.
@GeorgeWaC15838 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #9
We love camping at West Lakeit offers comfortable campsites, great fishing, exceptionally clean facilities, a peaceful lake, and welcoming camp hosts.
@Christine30365 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #8
Campers were friendly to one another. Pit toilets were super clean. Kind hosts. Highly recommend.
@RALPHP8E0E6703 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #14
great stay, camp host were very helpful
@TerriM1031964 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #22
The campground is nice with plenty of space between the sites. Our site was level & didn't even need the orange blocks. The views are beautiful and the lake is small but great for a relaxing paddle around the water. What isn't great is the other campers who don't bother to leash their dogs. There is the rule that dogs have to be on a 6 foot leash but nobody enforces it. The camp host does nothing. After the dog next to my campsite charged me after I came out of our RV and I mentioned this to the camp host the next day, he told me that for anything to be done, your dog or yourself has to be hurt. This has become a more increasing problem over the last few years and it is time that the national and state parks start following what private campgrounds do. Allowing people to do whatever they want, and not following the dog leash laws, ruins the whole camping experience.
@WayneH9910250 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #24
Love the campground host, Will and Clint. The bathrooms were very clean and the hosts especially nice.
@ThomasN5861088 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #25
Beautiful site overlooking the lake. Good distance between camp sites. Quiet. Clean restrooms. Easy to park. Lived in the area many years but never used the campground before (West Lake).
@TerrieA0D8F45B · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #28
While we were there the Pearl Fire was happening and our hosts kept everyone informed with the latest information. The campground is well maintained and the facilities are clean. Some camp spots could use erosion mitigation and gravel to help with the dust.
@ClayW16069A0CA · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #9
It would have been nice to have a campfire but oh well! We still enjoyed our stay at West Lake
@TamaraB8791DF3 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #7
Wonderful campground. Very clean and the views are amazing. Enjoyed walking the trails and paddle boarding on the lake. Although website said electricity at site was 15 amp, it actually was a 30 amp. Highly recommend!
@JanineFF82B846 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #21
I was surprised to find out this was a double site when we arrived. There is nothing on the site reservation or confirmation that tells us this. It would have been great to know ahead of time because we met my parents up there and we told our kids they couldn't come because we couldn't have another car. That was incorrect and they missed out on the first night. Your reservation system should tell people they're getting a double site and that more vehicles are allowed. This was really disappointing. Also, the campfire ring was not cleaned prior to our arrival. 2pm is a very late check in time and given there were 2 hours to clean, it's surprising it wasn't done. In walking around the campground there were several fire pits that still had ashes in vacant sites.

West Lake is a special place to enjoy. The proximity to other attractions makes even that much more special.

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.
