Host was pleasant and helpful. Nature was beautiful. No problems with the campsite. Nice and shady spot. Loved the campground.

The campground is lovely and small. Everyone around was kind! The hiking was lovely and the lake beautiful.
@AlexF8358570 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #21
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.

Was a nice campground the bathrooms could use a little work

Amazing facility

Really remote and not what I expected.

Electric work needed on site

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!

Great campground and super hosts
@JohnO9176954 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #12
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.

We love the campground however it needs repairs.
@TerryT6108431 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #12
Hosts were very nice. Park is showing its age and needs a lot of updates. Lake is growing a lot of weeds along shoreline. Lake needs dredged. The 4 spots with hookups could have some road modifications to make it easier to maneuver longer rigs. Park needs a septic dump station and a cell signal booster or WiFi. Hwy 180 needs shoulder work and shoulder additions.

Me and my family had a wonderful vacation, one of the best we have ever had, I loved that the cabin had no wifi and no television, it was great to escape and enjoy my grandchildren, we swam everyday in the beautiful lake, we took our kayaks out every morning and evening, we fished, hiked, made smores, played corn hole, played cards, it was amazing, the staff at the lake were awesome, I highly recommend this to everyone, it's great for children and parents to escape technology for a while.
@TeresaD9B1888E · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #6
Our favorite place always, but the bathrooms are in need of an update, and there was a ton of poison ivy. We'd like ice to be provided as well. That being said, we return here to this lovely campground year after year with our family. The camp hosts were friendly and great! See you next year!
@JosephD5297544 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #G1
Bathrooms and services were clean. We went first week in June and it was fairly empty, so it was nice to have the place to ourselves with a large group of teenage boys. Direct access to Appalachian trail is nice. You dont get much more remote or wooded than this!
@RichardR254074 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #13
Lake Winfield Scott has a lake with several kinds of fish for those liking to fish. Hiking trails. They have 4 campsites with water and electric hookups on South Loop and 11 sites that are primitive. There is NO dumpstation.
@LeslieW5118824 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #5
We are so glad we found this campground. The managers were wonderful and our site was beautiful. Not having any cellphone signal was problematic but a nice break at the same time.
@EmilyC1289829 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #12
This is one of our favorite campsites. We've stayed in our pop-up on both the powered and unpowered spots and loved them both. They are spread out so you don't feel like you're right on top of each other - and with minimal noise. You're fully off-the-grid with no internet access so you get to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature! We love that you can access the Blood Mountain trail from the campsite area. We have had incredible campsite hosts. We can't wait to come back!
@MegWE4A62466D9 · Camped on Sep 3, 2023 at Campsite #P02
The weather was perfect. There was a wonderful turnout for the event. The only drawback was that the restrooms were closed due to a water problem. There were two porta johns available, but they were in the parking lot which was some distance from the large pavilion where our event was.
@LisaT8225675 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #P02
We had a LWS reunion for all campers, people who loved the lake as much as us. Total success, staff were so welcoming and helpful. Went way beyond the call of duty. Lake Winfield Scott was just as beautiful as ever! Thank you.
@heiditE3E04846 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #G1
This is our second time renting the group site and we love it! It’s a great campground!
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #12

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.
