Over all it's a nice and quiet campground.
@RichardZ485077 · Camped on Feb 12, 2026 at Campsite #34
Spend two nights there. Very quiet and not busy at all. Dry camped with a small trailer. Did not use bathrooms but the spaces are large and some have a very private feel.

Great campground with toilets, fresh water and little cell service. Many sites private/enclosed

Great campsite!
@GenerA8A557E43 · Camped on Dec 5, 2025 at Campsite #47
Great campsite. A lot of open space and some tree cover. 2 park benches and 1 fire pit. Next to restrooms and running water. Car space can fit up to 5 cars. Heard coyotes in the night but were not on the campground.

Great campground, especially since we're local and only about 40 minutes away. The small community center next door sometimes has flea markets. Garage79 is only a few minutes away and has great beer and food.

The campsite was clean, and the fire pit was cleaned out.

Nice campsites, clean bathrooms. Close to lots of hiking.
No Service

Camp ground is completely run down and unkept. The fire pits were unusable due to it being so over filled with ash. The bathrooms were horrible. The people we also experienced had no regard for others in being quiet after 10pm, they were so loud throughout the night until 2am. We had plans to stay over a 4 day weekend and it quickly changed to just over night.

My camp site was clean. No ants also. Plenty of shade also.

I have been to this campground before, and it was a pleasant experience; however, this time it was a bit discouraging since the place was closed when we arrived, and no one informed us about it. It would have been great to know that the place would be closed in advance.

I was really looking forward to camping at this location this Labor Day weekend. However, when we arrived at the campground, there were ant hills everywhere on the campsites. I booked 2, 45 and 48. Both campsites were swarmed with ants. I tried walking around other unoccupied campsites and it had the same issue. We thought it would calm down after a few hours, or once it got cooler but even after 4 hours, ants still swarmed the tables, our legs, our dogs and our tents. It was uninhabitable. We left after being there for only 4 hours the first day.

Sadly, we only stayed for around 4 hours because the ant issue was huge. Ant hills were everywhere, they swarmed us, our dogs, our food in a matter of seconds. We tried to stay at least one night but couldnt because our dogs couldnt have a restful nap. They were swarmed like crazy and looked miserable.

We were on the Ribbonwood loop (I don't remember which exact site) but this campground is wonderful overall. The bathrooms were maintained and always had toilet paper, and the sites were clearly marked and maintained. We did have fire ants at our campsite which was unfortunate, and our parking spot had so many anthills (of other kinds of ants) that we had to hop from foot to foot so no one hitched a ride. However, camping is outside, and there are bugs outside! You can hear the highway from the campground, as well as the moos of the cattle next door. There's a store for ice/food/supplies a couple of minutes down the road from the campground too. Overall would stay there again!

Location was easy to find. Bathrooms were clean and easy walk to site. The site itself, Oak Grove site #3 had a lot of red ants near the fire pit, table, etc. May just be because its hot, etc.

Toilet tissue gone in all 4 bathrooms on Thursday night-1st day we got there.Red ants were completely invasive!!! We tried different products we brought, but nothing worked. It became very difficult. My 20 pound Chihuahua terrier mix got stung really bad in his paw pad and it was the worst experience ever.!!!!!!!! He was yelping in so much pain and It was overwhelming!! Horrible!! The picture also lied about the shade being so awesome there when it was very erratic and not good-The fire pit was filled to the top with Ash. It was almost impossible to have a fire which we look forward to the most. We will not be back.!!!!!!

Camp host is great, the campground is clean as well as the toilets, theres a real close hiking trail that takes up to palomar mountain, the campsite is practically the trail headVery dog friendly, loved seeing everyone with their dogs and my dog had a blastWill return but probably closer to the not so hot monthsThanks again to the camp host who was really accommodating

Really nice campsite. We got lucky and had a site (#39) that had some shade, was set back a bit from the road, and was on the interior (so we didnt feel like we were on the neighbors lawns). In general, the sites further back from the entrance and toward the middle seemed a bit better than the others. Our site was roomy and could have easily accommodated 4 large tents. There were some fire ants, but they seemed to be at all of the sites, and we didnt have any problems with them.

Lots of bugs (got covered in mosquito bites.) Most campgrounds shady. 32 was decent although sunny during day. Bathrooms right across (out of view) were typical camping bathrooms, albeit crusty.

Facilities were clean. Campsite was good however there is an ant colony and there were thousands of red ants right where the tent would go. Some neighbors were a nuisance because they did not follow quiet times, had bright lights on all night and their dogs were not kept on leashes. Not the fault of the campground.

We enjoyed the spacious camp site and the little area across the highway that led us to an unexpected firehose swing. Also a little walking trail. We didn't get far before we got hungry and had to go to the bathroom HAHA (traveling with kids) What I wished we knew - BRING - Tarp, Easy up and plenty of warm blankets. We camped in May and it was hot and cold. There are some burs or pokey stuff if you setup under the trees. Recommend bringing a thick tarp to go under the tent. We also weren't prepared for the high heat during the day and got very cold at night. Bring an easy-up for increased shade & extra blankets at night. Our sleeping bags were not enough. Faces were quite cold all night! Decent campsite, fire ring, picnic table and water/bathrooms nearby. Our site backed up to a turkey farm. No trouble with any noise there. 4out of 5

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.
