Camp site 14 was great because we were separated from everyone else. The camp site sits on a slope so I would not recommend if you have limitations. The site also isn't the flatest but we made our 6 person tent work on the most level spot. The camp ground overall is very clean. The bathrooms are pretty far apart and pretty far from camp site 14. Showers were hot. The lake is huge and has plenty of beach areas around it to set up. The only down side, as mentioned in another review, is that there is a lot of animal activity down the back side of camp site 14. There is a dry revene that might be home to some large rodents of possibly deer. We never saw them but they were very active at night because we could hear them wrestling with branches and leaves. I just put my ear plugs in and slept like a baby. Will go back for sure.

The campground was nice. My biggest concern was the lack of camp personnel. Especially when they were needed to enforce the quiet time rules. Many campers continued to make loud noise and music long after 10 pm. It was quite annoying. Campsites are meant for relaxation.

I have always loved this campground. For the price you get a decent sized campsite, and showers and bathrooms. As well as a nice fire pit and water spigots close by. My complaint would be I kind of wish there was more staff, there was nobody at the main gate or anything. Only other complaint would be that the showers were a bit grungy. And I wish there was more bathrooms but fortunately where we stayed it was during the week and not very busy so we got to pick a place close to the bathroom.

Could park multiple cars on this site. A bit uneven surface which makes sleeping an issue.
@MehranSEC2F826 · Camped on Jul 26, 2025 at Campsite #37
No parking spots for this specific site. Also very small relative to other nearby sites.
@SandraL2332707 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025
My campsite had nice views of the lake, the restroom and showers across from my campsite. There was a road that was close to us, so had to keep a close eye on the little ones. I had the worst neighbors, loud, rude and obnoxious (not the campgrounds fault) I will definitely reserve again!

I loved the campsite right on the water. The spot was private and spacious. I loved the bird life and seeing every family enjoying the area. Some people were swimming, kayaking, jet skiing, fishing and sailing. This was the first US Army Corps of Engineers Campground I visited. It was lovely.

Lake side campsite was a scenic treat
@WayneC2425168 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #44
We backed our small 20 foot travel trailer into space 44 and it was so slanted downhill that we chose to keep it attached to the truck for safety reasons. With several blocks we were able to lift it to nearly level.

5 Stars A Wonderful Family Camping Experience!Our recent camping trip was everything we hoped for and more! The campsites were spotless and well-maintained, with plenty of space and privacy. We were especially impressed by how clean the restrooms and amenities wereit's clear the staff takes great pride in keeping everything in top shape.The surrounding scenery was absolutely beautiful, offering peaceful views and plenty of opportunities to explore nature. Whether we were hiking, relaxing by the fire, or just enjoying the fresh air, we felt completely immersed in the outdoors.What really made the trip special, though, was the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone we encounteredfrom staff to fellow camperswas warm and kind, creating a sense of community that made our stay even more enjoyable.Were already looking forward to coming back and making this one of our go-to camping destinations. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful and well-cared-for setting!

Nice place
@NganYanM991E23 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025
The lake is beautiful, but there lot of rock and wood log under the water, please making sure to prepare to wear water shoes. The restroom are very clean and with warm shower, love it!
@BradyNAE387646 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #59
Nice campground, but very few level spots.
@YolandaG49250E · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #1
Full hookups are a blessing.
@JoeF2149352 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025
Although there was no check-in process, we found our sight, with a paper note, that showed our reservation.For the most part, the camp was clean and well maintained. The shoreline was free of debris and wood.The water level was quite high but the launch ramp was fine. Make sure to bring a mussel sticker and a boat license.
@TracyV8590931 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #14
Beautiful campground. Very clean. Amazing lake views.
@EffieLCEFE324E · Camped on Jul 11, 2025
Fun place to camp but it's noisy at night. Quiet hours aren't honored, so bring ear plugs. People partied all night. We were there on the weekend so maybe weekdays aren't as bad. The lake is fun. Restrooms have flush toilets and were clean.
@JubaK4C4B424EC · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #33
Had an excellent time. Extremely peaceful. Will be back soon.
@YadiraH0D7E09F · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #41
I absolutely loved the RV spots as it had electricity and water of course. The only thing I did not like is that the noise curfew is not respected by all visitors and the ranger drove by and didn't say anything so it seems like its not enforced
@BrianM6776107 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #9
Great place
@kathyjerEA9B88 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #2
We were camped in campsite number one, number two and number five. The only complaint that I have is campsite number one has a big tree in the driveway that is covered with sap which drops down to the ground and then you have sap all over your shoes all over your camper the awning Otherwise it was a great camping trip
@AllenO3431889 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #20
The toilets were plugged and not usable over the weekend. They got cleaned up on Monday. Everything else was fine.
@BijanA0E2D279F · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #60
Pretty long route to circumnavigate the lake on foot, plan to bring food, snacks, good shoes, a wise mind and an entire day.
@AdamL6EB96558F · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #14
Let me start by saying these campsites are very clean . Showers are clean and the lake is very clean and fun to enjoy spend some time with family.I enjoyed fishing,hiking, picnicing and spending some time at the playground with my daughters. 2 local liquor markets are nearby that make a grabbing last minute items easy. Plenty of campsites, I would recommend this campsites to friends and family 100%

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!!!
