Even though site is not level for RV, it is still a nice private site.

We live nearby the area and campground. Our time there is quite enjoyable. Late winter with spring like conditions was in place. We were able to secure 2 adjoining spots and that is our normal plan so we can secure our boat as well. The current staff off Park Rangers is excellent. Jake ? and Ranger Dan from the east coast. They were the most informed people I have ever encountered at New Melones in all my years ! They helped explain my BLM senior pass in regards to camping , boat launch fees and took the time to visit with me as the lines are pretty light a side benefit of the Golden Muscle inspections is my guess. We will be back until triple digits and hot weather arrives then we go to cooler locales.It wouls be great to see the RV dunps stations open again but not a big isue. The trails are removed off brush and weeds and are being used without any incidents.Great Job and we shall be back soon!Bill and Sue Caldera, Sonora a

Very pleasant stop along Hwy 49. Nice large campsites with good tent areas. The birds are also a lover of this spot which makes for incredible bird watching. Cool staff rangers .. I booked my site an hour before i arrived. The Ranger came by and I showed her my online receipt and was good to go.

Fish cleaning station and to dump station still not working. Golden mussel scam seals still in place.

Weather was foggy and cold, then we had a heater failure so we did not stay the full three days. The campground is beautiful and seemed well kept.

We were in site 141 a Handicap spot. This site is great and very large and flat. The bathroom is a pretty good walk from the ADA site. There is a cement ramp down to the bathroom, but it doesn't connect to the cement around the bathroom. There's about 20ish feet of dirt between the end of the ramp and the cement around the bathroom. Most people just scale the steep hill down to the bathroom if they don't need to use the ramp. We really enjoy this campground for winter camping, but would pick a site with better access to a bathroom. It's a very well run and vary clean campground.

The camp site was gorgeous, we had so much fun there! We were at Big Oak Sites 097 and 098. The weather was perfect, not too hot during the day and not too cold at night. Good distance between us and the next camp site. The showers were amazing, clean, smell-free and well lit bathrooms. The water can get very hot so make sure to regulate it well, but it was awesome! The campsite is about 30 min away from Mercer Caverns and 15 min away from Moaning Caverns and Natural Bridges Trailhead (swim cave) so definitely check those out! Its beautiful!

Perfect area, could have gotten a better location at this time of year if I had driven through the campsite and reserved a better view location.

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.
