We stayed on the south west side on site #8. We had two campsites and benches for ourselves. Checkin was a breeze since they had my name at the entrance on the campsite. Restrooms were close by and clean.There was a stream running next to campsite so we could collect water and filter it out. We hiked another two days from here so water was obviously good.The other sites are far enough so there was no issues with noise. Very peaceful and loved the experience of booking on this site.Will recommend for anyone including families.

Very quiet campground with scenic lake and attractive sites. The fairly basic amenities (limited push-button showers in two bathrooms during the spring season, port-o-let only during the winter), out of the way location, and no cell service contributed to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere with most campers there to enjoy the lake or the nearby hiking.

We had a wonderful Weekend camping. The facilities were clean and close by. Everyone was friendly and the lake and path around was beautiful. Site 8 was secluded and large. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful camp. Check-in process once you register online was unclear once arrived. Paying for parking through the parking pass is not possible due to cell coverage in the area. Outside of that, its a beautiful park and one of my favorites in north Georgia.

The south loop had nicely spaced, clean sites, however these sites are not by the lake.

Stayed at the campground #12. It was a pull through site which was surprising. Theres a picnic table and fire ring and the spot was gravel and level. We had access to a trail that led to the lake just a few feet into the woods. There is a creek just beyond the trail. The lake had a beach with sand and shade where you can swim and there were restrooms. It was quiet and peaceful, we were there during the week. We met the campground hosts on the trail to the lake and they were very friendly and helpful. We had a great relaxing time.

Beautiful campground, not too busy, lake is beautiful and a joy to swim in. Lots of hiking trails accessible from the campground and a short drive away. Bathrooms could have been cleaner but were useable. The water pumps could have pumped out cleaner water.

The people who run this campground are fantastic. Bathrooms are clean, and the lake is beautiful. Make sure you are well-equipped, as there is no service available at the campground.

cg was closed, rec.gov sent us an email but there is no cell service at this site. nothing was posted on the check in station, nobody was there. cg is old and in need of upkeep. usfs should stop using contractors to run these.

We had a large group camper here for the weekend, and we were very pleased. The site was well-managed, clean, and the other campers were respectable as well. There wasnt any water available for the weekend we were there, however the managers were very accommodating and had great communication. Overall, this camping site was wonderful and we will be returning in the future!

My wife and I came up to the mountains for a quick one night in our little camper. Perfect secluded campground. The host was very nice. Nice short trail to the lake with a boat ramp and dock plus a swimming area. Trails to connect to the AT right out the back of the campground too. Site 12 was an easy pull through spot (although might be a little tight for larger rigs). Overall a little expensive, but for the location and power and water hookups Im not docking any stars.Did have a mom and cub run up on us while we were having morning coffee (7 or 8 am on 7/27). We scared them as much as they scared us but just be bear aware.Also no AT&T service.

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
