Always a great time at Bidwell with the best host Brian and wife and the cleanest restrooms for a campground. Highly recommend.

@GaylaR1EF0A407 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #33

Campground and Host was greatwith that said, Camp sites need workretaining wall is dangerous for older adults & kids, also could use some clean up on the site. I will not get the site (Bidwell Point 33) ever again, not set up for easy access to & from your camper.

@RichelleL3CB95 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #7

Really enjoy camping here every year several times a year! The park attendant we have at Bidwell is one of the best weve ever had there. Willing to help you if possible!

Park attendant is always super friendly and helpful. Good shade in this spot and close to restrooms/showers.

@SharonP8660185 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #33

Site 33 is nice and quiet. It is a tight squeeze for the camper to allow the slide out. There's not a lot of room outside once it's set up but overall a good space.

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #26

The shower house was not good. The bigger the water barely came out and was cold in the bigger stall. It was not as clean as it usually is either.

@Elizabeth15985 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #22

Close to water and bathrooms, nice big spot

This was my third stay at Bidwell. The campground was clean and quiet as usual. This campground seems to attract mature, experienced campers so if your looking for a party spot you probably need to go somewhere else. If you like calm and quiet, give it a shot.

@Charlotte33784 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #6

Enjoyed our trip, campground was lovely. Loved being able to see lake from all around us.

@RichelleL3CB95 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #12

The park attendant is always very helpful. In any situation weve had hes been always there to help us get through it. The park is well kept, restrooms And showers are clean. We always enjoyed every visit that we have from April to October.

@SandraB1199192 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #22

The camp host is so very helpful. The campground was in excellent shape, not a thing to say but it was a great stay.

@VernonME0519A7 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #34

Excellent park, well run, the fishing is great, we stay there a couple of times every year, I would definitely recommend it!

@DanR5280240 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #25

Love the location, seeing and getting out on the water. A good spot, but was a bit rocky because of recent big rain.

@PaulG9606243 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #43

Nearly level sites with concrete pads, picnic table and fire ring. B+ on restroom cleanliness. Showers need some cleaning. Site had great view of the lake. Some freeway noise but tolerable.

@LaDonnaFC02F1D · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #41

Brian reached out before I arrived to tell me my site was ready and also taught me how to use the seniors pass discount that I thought was only for NPs. The campground was clean from the site, bathroom, shower house, and the swim beach. Other campers were very friendly and as we were there during the week, it was mostly retired people enjoying the life! Water and electric were convenient. Site 41 has a beautiful view, but probably not well suited if you have young children (limited space to explore safely- some of the other sites offer more kid-friendly areas. I hated to leave and missed not having a boat for the water. Cant wait to return!

@LyleS13079752E · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #9

Stayed at #9. It is a great site. Near bathrooms and very shady and quiet.

@ChrisF1862119 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #10

Great Camp spot Great view of the Lake. Brian is GREAT Camp Ground Host. Always helpful and makes sure everything and everyone is taken care of he goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay!!!

@NobleM518FACCE · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #17

Beautiful campground, we were within walking distance to the beach. Each morning we had wonderful sunrises that could be seen across the lake.

@DanielH5239181 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #42

We love Norfork Lake and Bidwell point for camping!! Brian always makes us feel welcome and always is very personable !!

@AnnH4487288 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #20

@DerrickEEF36F3 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #29

Clean park and the park attendant does an excellent job!

@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #37

Great park with awesome views of the lake. Also has the best park attendant in the country that is always ready to help if needed.

@VikkiBAF4CB45B · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #6

Our reservation was for site 6 but ended up at 14, right on the lake, thanks to camp hosts Brian and his wife. I inquired about any last minute openings and he allowed us to transfer to a much better site! 14 has no shade but its also at the shore line. Each site has electricity and water, which was great. We did see the local Sheriff and a Ranger swing through the park at least twice. Brian was also out and about, making sure everyone was doing okay and answering questions. Overall, we will definitely be back.

@PaulineP0B0AEB · Camped on Jun 1, 2024 at Campsite #40

We love camping at Bidwell Point. The park is clean and patrolled regularly by rangers, sheriffs department and the park attendant. The park attendant, Brian, is always helpful and is there day or night when you need him.

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
