Site 59 was shaded and a slight view of the lake. There was ample room for our 18' camper. There was no covered picnic table, but we brought our own canopy. The campground was clean and bathrooms were always tidy. We really enjoyed our time at Gamaliel.

Loved my first time Glamping trip to Gamielel in my Vintage Cruiser. I picked RV spot 22 which unbeknownst has a cement retaining wall and made backing in a bit of a struggle. I took 4 of my grandkids and we had a blast! Chose to be close to the playground which was perfect. Clean campsites & well kept up. Loved my 4 days there. Will go again soon.

Pretty sunset overlooking the marina. Site 9 is hard to backup into. Would only recommend for tent, car or van camping.
@KristenC378064 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #63
We stayed at campsite 63 in a tent. It was nice and level, decent shade and close to the showers and restrooms. We would stay there again.

@BaileyS51C90BA · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #6
Nice shaded spot close to the water and Fout marina!
@SteveT7934674 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #38
The campground spot, the bathroom, and especially the staff were absolutely great! I do wish the shower had a little better drainage, but it was definitely tolerable. Any real shortcomings I experienced, were with other people, not the park
@DesireaH72C8AE · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #17
Very nice.
@BillydAEB53377 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #17
BBQ pit was full of trash, rebar and an ax.
@DennisO7910034 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #38
It would be nice if the grass was cut before the holiday weekends. need to replace some of the fire pits as they are rusted out.
@CarolynH139628 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #16
We have been staying at this campground for over 30 years. It is a nice family oriented campground.

We have been going to here for about 17 years. I love the clear camping and playground areas. The new sand on the beach was a welcome surprise. The restrooms are clean and if there are any issues, they are delt with in a timely manner. We are concerned with the new volunteer program for the check in area. They are having a lot of difficulty finding volunteers to work the office and it is putting a lot of strain on the one contracted employee that we have left. She is so wonderful and worried about her campers getting the experience that we have been used to. This past weekend, with the storms, we lost power and she drove around to check on people and to help find the problem and we were not without power for very long. I can remember when Gamaliel campgrounds was party central and we really did not want to be a part of that with our children. There were a lot of changes made and for the past 17 years, it has just gotten better and better and our Grandchildren love it. We are praying that this new change will not allow history to repeat itself and it become party central again.

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!!!
