Had a really nice week here in early April. It had rained a lot before we got there so the river was roaring behind our site. Watched Eagles catch fish in the morning and listened to Owls at night. Restrooms were clean, and there is not much traffic so you can bike ride around the park and to the others on the lake with not much issue. We were in site 22. If you have kids you would probably want the playground loop which is site 10 etc. That loop is a little closer to the river also.

Absolutely beautiful campground and scenery!! The river is beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at site 15!!! Was nice and peaceful. There were never more than 5 campers there at one time in the 4 days we were there. Will definitely be back.

Great camp but maintenance crew needs a little common sense. 2 times now we've been here and wake up to lawn mowers and leaf blowers at 7:30am. This is ridiculous. They can perform this work any time of the day without having to wake everyone up at 7:30. Most anyone camping is out and about after 10am. A little respect for the campers would be nice.

Very nice campground but some of the sites are really close together. Also, the dump station backs up under a much less than moderate flow. Use caution and drain your rig very slowly.

Coming here over 40 years. Always pleasant. Sure miss Ms. Winona!

This is one of our favorites. The RV spots are close enough to the river/creek to hear the water running. For this trip, the park was empty. There was only one other spot reserved. Most of the sites are spacious. For spots 25 and up, its a lot of concrete and less shade. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

Camp site was great. Close to the river. Need to check the bath rooms. Drain did not work in the bathroom close to site 16. Bathroom close to 25 the water did not get hot, I believe you need to add a timed heater. Was really cold trying to shower. Over all the experience was good just need some facilities need workThanks

Loved the sound of the running water. Great views and quiet. Paved roads and big rig friendly. Bring a long water hose as water is shared between 2 sites. Only negative was the dump station was not convenient or easy to access.

We enjoy spending time at Cossatot Reefs. Nice large campsites. Close access to the Cossatot River for swimming, floating and fishing. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. (Deer, fox, blue heron, bald eagle...) The camp grounds are well maintained. Nice restroom/shower facilities. Easy access to Gilham lake for boating, fishing, and swimming. Camp managers are so nice and helpful.

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.
