Brian was the host and he was very attentive to everything. The facility hook ups were great, the park was clean and the surroundings were beautiful. It was a great stay. We want to go back!

Location very close to Hot spring bathhouses. Be prepared for long wait to utilize the one shower. After waiting over 30 min I decided to use alternate location and left the park site earlier than planned.
@JamesB7853748 · Camped on Dec 20, 2025 at Campsite #28
It's always clean, bathrooms are clean, its quiet. It's in a great location close to downtown and the space is always nice.

We really enjoyed Gulpha Gorge. It looked like most (if not all) sites had full hookups. The fire ring was well kept. The park service had recently taken down some trees and left the wood for camper use (bring a splitting maul though). 3 of 4 of the access roads are pretty tight and there are culverts on both sides of site 12 (and several others) so I was glad our trailer wasn't over 25 ft. We watched others struggle with their 30+ ft travel trailers. We were thankful for the warning on the site's page about 'extreme slope' and made sure to have blocks for extra height for the tongue jack and front stabilizers. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Gulpha Gorge is a fabulous camp ground. So serene. Great location. Close enough to town for any needs. Sites are a bit close and a little unlevel, but easy to compensate. Highly recommend.

The camp host was very helpful. Also I was so happy that showers were added and I love that they are coded. I go here to ride north wood trails and really need showers.

Our first time to stay in a national park WOW, one of the best parks weve ever stayed at! So clean and so beautiful!
@JeanT2574130 · Camped on Dec 9, 2025 at Campsite #23
Great location that is close to Hot Springs attractions. Very pretty campground.
@BrianF9020222 · Camped on Dec 9, 2025 at Campsite #13
Nice location convenient to the local historic downtown and others in the area. Clean and well kept
@DAVIDBH1154A2A · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #22
park volunteer managers are very friendly and keep things looking nice. Be sure to reserve a spot along the creek if you can
@AndreaB9285855 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #11
Great little campground. Stayed just one night passing through but would stay again when in the area.
@CharlesR973079 · Camped on Dec 6, 2025 at Campsite #13

Nice campground!
@JimO4036574 · Camped on Dec 1, 2025 at Campsite #36
Gulped Gorge campground is nestled in the woods right on Gulpha Creek. Each campsite is gorgeous. We had one right on the Creek and it was beautiful. Has electricity and water. It's a great little campground!
@ChipGB61E2748D · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #22
Beautiful location but some sites are too narrow for longer rigs because of trees and placement of lamp posts.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #31
Loved the proximity to the trail system
@RichardP563677 · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #39
campground was very nice and clean , camphost very helpful with getting the right spot . only stayed for 3 nights and it was cold and rainy so didn't get to explore much , it's close to town and other spots in hot springs area , the shower house was well kept and had a lot of hot water , just wish that the heat would of been a little warmer . next time we're in the area we will stay here again
@WalkerC625C370 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #34
Great place to be if you want access to the park trails. You will feel like you are in the deep woods while at the campground.
@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #4
Loved our stay here! First night was at #4, last minute booking so we were able to book this site. Next night was along the creek, site 23 or 28. Lovely! Rained our second day, full on camping rain, so we didn't get to enjoy a campfire along the creek, but it would have been amazing. The firepits were super nice, halfway filled with concrete which elevates the fire while warming up the base for added heat. The camp was well maintaint and there are hiking trails across the creek. Coming back, for sure.
@josec1870712 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #28
Beautiful site on the creek with full hook ups. Host is on duty and very responsive. Love this spot to hike into town.
@RachelW1142598 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #30
#30 was positioned directly across from the bath facilities and had an electric hook up. The tent space was great and we had a view of the stream below.
@ColtenJD41738F · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #10
Nice little camp site
@Lilyw8F1471BD8 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #9
The hosts were exceptionally helpful, close proximity to Hot Springs (walk on the trail or bike on the roads), trailhead for hiking right there.
@ScottRA66F2B31 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #33
When we pulled in, someone took our spot at 9:00 at night We called numbers and none worked but finally found host. Thats the worse. The rest? One host worked the whole time we were there cleaning, caring, and apologizing about our experience. What great people! Ive never been in a park yet where a host continually cared for the park. At one point blowing open spots for the next person, cleaning out fire pits. It was nice to see someone who cared!

Signs marking the entry road are not clear. Other than that, Gulpha Gorge is easy to get to.It is in very good condition with plenty of open sites in late November.We used Gulpha Gorge for a staging area to explore distributed camping further south in the Sabine National Forest. Most campers used it for boating and fishing.

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.
