Nice sites.

@MichaelS179730 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #D27

We were traveling through the mountains in the rain and just decided to pull into this camground. Its a very nice campground with many sites. We paid a little extra for the electric hookup but it was still very reasonably priced. I took a peek into the bathrooms, they were also very large with 3 stalls and regular toilets (not vaults). We would definitely stay here again.

Early autumn is a good time for camping.

This campsite is a nice place to stay - usually - except during GOVT Shutdown there was NO administration of the rules, regs or oversight. It was a true free-for-all. Someone was IN our reserved spot and would not move. We finally reached a NP Ranger who tried to mediate the situation...when govt is shut down - there is NO ONE to help you.

50 amp electric nice and unusual for national park campground. Beautiful setting. One of the best ranger talks ever on night skys.

@TravisHE9B3ED9 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #A2

Me and three friends camped here on 10/3. We arrived about 15 minutes before sunset (after an 11 hour drive), so we were on a mission to get tents set up and dinner going. The individual campsites are perfectly sized. The picnic tables and fire pits were well cared for. We had a light rain for about half the night, but the surface allowed for the water to drain so we didnt wake up to a muddy mess. Not many people around the first week of October, so it was perfect!

@RodM9306592643 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #A5

Excellent facilities and location. I recommend bringing fire wood for the night, as we could not find any at the campground location

@courtneyl58519 · Camped on Oct 1, 2025 at Campsite #A33

Nice campsite with a great view of the lake. No real shade, which wasnt as much of an issue in the fall, but in the summer it would probably be pretty hot.

@NastassiaD204D · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #B94

We were only passing through one night, but the location was beautiful, facilities were very clean (and stocked), and it was great camping experience.

@SteveS6334481 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #D23

Great stay. Hosts were nice and bathrooms were spotless.

@DannyR53159071 · Camped on Sep 27, 2025 at Campsite #D1

Loop D campground is a quite clean campground and the restrooms are also clean. Camp host are helpful also

@TeresaW7312927 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #D2

We stayed in Loop D with electric hookups, the site was very clean including the bathroom (really really clean). Campground was quite and enjoyable. We had solid Verizon cell service the entire 4 day stay. Appreciate the dump station when leaving. Centrally located to the Black Canyon and Crested Butte areas.

@BobM2535414 · Camped on Sep 23, 2025 at Campsite #D22

@DavidK2688369 · Camped on Sep 23, 2025 at Campsite #A52

Always clean camp site and clean bathroom. Also camp host very friendly and knowledgeable

@WilliamL145693 · Camped on Sep 20, 2025 at Campsite #D28

Very relazing with killer views

@ShannonP288F4C · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #D13

The campground was very clean and well kept. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. Our campsite was at the top of the hill so we had a great view of the entire campground and the reservoir. It was very close to Gunnison and Crested Butte. It's definitely a great campground for boating and fishing.

@BrentC4E994170 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #D24

Well kept campground. Lots of things to see near the campground. Highly recommend.

@GayleB388E987E · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #D12

Park was exactly as described. Very quiet during our stay in September.

@KristineR066D6 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #D19

Enjoyed our week stay

@StephenH630534 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #D23

We have stayed in an electric site at Elk Creek multiple times over 14-years in a travel trailer, fifth wheel, and our current motorhome. It is our go-to stop when in the Gunnison area. We have always gotten an electric site even when just walking into the visitor center without a reservation, as we did last week. Colorado's largest lake, an adjacent marina, one of Colorado's best fishing lakes for brown and lake trout and kokanee, restrooms with flush toilets, and water and a dump available at the entrance--what's not to like?

@ReeceB2871174 · Camped on Sep 10, 2025 at Campsite #D17

Beautiful sunsets and rainbows. D loop was crowded because of having electric. Restrooms were spotless. There is road noise from Rte 50

@PeggyV80541B26 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #D20

The rangers were always visible, helpful, and friendly. The area was clean, well mantained, and gorgeous.

@AureliaCC61145 · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #D21

Amazing campground with camp hosts that work daily to make it clean and nice ! Sites are wide and the view is just beautiful. Well be back next summer !

@NathanREEFDE1E · Camped on Sep 6, 2025 at Campsite #A33

Great view of the sky and beautiful scenery to wake up to.

@KristineR066D6 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #D16

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
