My family enjoyed the group campsite, it was secluded from everyone. Shower and toilets at walking distance. The space was clean and kept. We loved the area

I called to see if they still had water and dump station. Told me yes as of that day I called them to make my reservation. Got there on a Friday afternoon. I got an email telling me they were going to shut water off on that following Saturday. So I got there without water wanting to fill there before they shut off on Saturday. Well when I got there, no water no dump station. I had to go to the office and fill up there. Had to pay at a station to dump. Need less to say it was a little inconvenient to go out of my way. Other than that we had a good time. The place was very clean.

Very much enjoy the campground. This trip we had no water and I requested at least a partial refund and was denied any refund.

Amazing find. Winter camping, less people and beautiful fog. The only issue I had was background noise of gun fire. Takes away from the ambience of nature.

The site I was in, 53, has a sewer clean out way too high to use with standard height clean outs. other than that it was a good site.

We stayed overnight as a test run of our new trailer. We were pleasantly surprised by the state of the campground - very clean, good road (a little narrow), and easy hookups. Its definitely an RV/trailer campground, based on the size of the sites and level of privacy between them. he staff were very helpful with check-in and helped our firewood situation by pointing us toward downed wood that was reasonably sized. I would rate it 5 stars, but we did have to scavenge for firewood, as none was available for purchase. The wood we found was wet and we were unsuccessful in using it to build a campfire, despite experience and effort. T

It was raining for most of our stay, but it was clean, quiet, and level. Only one bar of cell service, but the antenna did pick up some decent TV channels. Will stay here again.

Just about every site has lots of open sky for great solar and satellite. The lake is low and quite a walk from the CG so we didn't hike down to it. The restrooms work, good pressure and temperature on the showers. But they're not well cleaned. You can see where when they are mopped and the dirt just gets pushed to the walls. Trash on the floor. Plumbing leaks and they're showing their age. Graffiti etched into walls and dividers. Park is very unsafe, no police presence or enforcement rangers. Hosts were nice, they came around and gave us our parking pass when we arrived. Check in office was closed. Park road is one way, come in and go to the right for all sites. Watch for signs telling you where to turn as the signs are small. There is a visitors center back down the road as you come in. The sign says open 9-4 but it was never open when we were here. There are some trails but they are poorly marked, if at all. There was a hike to a bridge that started in the group area, but it was 8 miles round trip so we only went part way.

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.

@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!!!
