Unfortunately we had a family one space down that arrived with two barking dogs that were very aggressive. Several people including us asked nicely for some relief only to be asked to mind our own business. We immediately reported this to the camp hosts at Elk Creek who immediately visited the site and explained the rules. Needless to say the noise makers made the remaining time very tense. We love ELK CREEK and the camp hosts are super but they cant do everything. Would it help to highlight the issue with folks who camp with pets that disruption will not be tolerated

We returned this year after a 10 year hiatus and the campground was just as great as we remembered. Very clean and quiet (with exception of one nearby motorhome that ran its generator for AC for long periods....). The convenience of both water fill and dump station right at entrance is a huge plus for those not wanting to haul all that weight to/from the campsite. Only negative is lack of any more trees other than the ones that have been there since the beginning, which are very few...really could stand to plant some more as it's VERY hot there during the summer.

@OliviaH1947204 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #A23
Clean, fully functional bathrooms, clearly marked campsites with tables and firepits, and fun little ranger led sessions on the weekend! We booked another trip here after our first night. Truly loved the site and the whole recreation area!

The location is a five star but I give it four stars for the reservation system. Some of the sites are first come first serve on the website, some are reserve only. It was confusing once I got there to see reservation labels hung on unoccupied sites that were FCFS. Once I got things worked out with the camp host I was good to go. Nice having the Rio Grande river steps from the campsite. Very quick access back to the main road.

Fabulous campground in a very picturesque location. Campground host were very friendly. We had a water and electric site. The only negative I can mention is NO BATHHOUSE. They have bathrooms but no showers. The beauty easily overcomes the one negative, especially since we are self contained. We would definitely stay here in the future,

Campground is well maintained by both the camp hosts and the NPS personal. Especially a shout out to the professionalism of the NPS Law Enforcment Officers who handled an incident, that occurred during our stay, in an exceptional manner. Great family friendly campground.

No trees and to many prairie dogs.
@HowardIE949121 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #D20
Got to are spot a little late due to a fire on Hwy50. someone was in are spot and even though it had our name on it they refused to move.Camp host's told them it wasn't there spot, but they still refused to move. They called a park ranger out whom I was told would make them move but he was a real wimp and also couldn't get them to move. He then got mouthy with me when I told him it was B.S and he did not do his job.

Great location, peaceful. Note there is no water though.
@KristenYABC83F · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #B73
This campground was beautiful! It was very clean and there are amazing views. The marina being so close is great- you can rent a boat and spend the day on the reservoir.

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.
