We have been going to east Sullivan for many years and enjoy it very much.The hosts did a great job keeping the bathrooms clean and stocked. One thing that was bad are the roads.They have gotten worse each year and soon they will breakdown even faster unless some maintenance is done.

We have enjoyed the east Sullivan camp ground for many years as a family destination. Unfortunately we have also seen a marked decline in the upkeep of the park - the extremely rough access road, disintegrating timber barricades and guides, logs left to rot in many sites. I realize that staff and budget cuts have an impact. I also think more can be done to reverse the decline, soliciting more volunteers, public out reach for outdoor organizations seeking funds, materials and/or labor. We love Sullivan Lake. I hope we can continue to camp there.Paul Dorning

East Sullivan is wonderful! The campsites are large, wooded, level and private. The bathrooms are convenient and well maintained. The lake is beautiful and the hikes are great!

We camp here every summer. Best campground ever! Private spots and very woodsy.

We love this campground! Its a special place and we go several times each summer. I grew up spending time at Sullivan Lake and Ive passed the tradition to my family. We have a wonderful trip every time we go.

Coming to Sullivan lake is always a pleasure. Our camp hosts were absolutely amazing. We had a couple glitches when we were trying to leave but our camp hosts jumped right in to lend a hand.

It's very beautiful at East Sullivan Campground. Was fairly quiet most of the time. There were deer roaming the campground. And the campground host's were very friendly and did a good job of keeping everything cleaned up.

Had a bit of a setback when we arrived - we found another party set up in our reserved spot. They said the reservation tags were not put out the day before and they booked for 2 nights which included one of our nights. The campground manager was nowhere to be found to help resolve the issue until later that night once we already settled into another site to avoid making the other party move. We caught up with the manager later that night and said we had the conflict figured out, but never saw the manager again throughout the rest of our 3 night stay. The rest of our visit was wonderful and we love staying there.Better communication and reservation notification to other campers would be an improvement in the future. Consistent campground manger presence would also be beneficial.

East Sullivan is as well maintained as it has been for the last 30 years!
@EllenS9303532 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #9
we stayed in site 9. i do not recommend this site. we could smell the outhouses very strongly, especially from the picnic table. the camp host was kind and understanding. but we did not enjoy this campsite. if there is a way to move the picnic table further away from the outhouses it might help.
@LizW9666061 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #14
The campground is lovely. I love the opportunities to hike and kayak and swim. Most of the other guests were friendly, kind and considerate. There were a few that were loud after 10 - different group each night. The campground host was proactive and effective. I felt badly that she had to stay up late to keep inconsiderate people in line. Mostly it was wonderful. I will camp there again.

Camp host did a great job keeping the bathrooms clean and supplied. Site was clean when we arrived as well.
@TessaC683BF33F · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #33
Bathrooms were very clean and wonderful hiking trails near by. Lakeshore trail and Millpond trail both excellent. Memorial Day weekend was cold be prepared.
@AnjaBB99D91BD5 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #15
Wonderful new camp host - happy and friendly! Cant believe one person has the capacity to do the amount of work required!

Lake Sullivan is always a great place to spend a few days. It was this time as well. However, there are a couple of issues for people to be aware of. First, prices are increasing. A single site last year was $24, this year $27 and next year will be $29. More importantly, they have changed the reservation system. In the past, there were sites which were reservable and some which were not. The non-reservable sites were "first come first served." Now, all sites are reservable. If a site is not reserved you are able to take it for a night unless someone reserves it after you arrive there. What happened for us was that our "reserved" card was not posted on our site so someone came and took it for the night. Luckily they were leaving the next day and there were other sites open, so we took one of those for the first night and then moved the next day. That really could have been a bad situation. This new system means no one can go up mid-week and take a "first come, first served" spot and stay thru the weekend because every weekend all summer long is booked far in advance. Not sure why they felt a need to change a system that has worked so well for many, many years. We used to go up on a Monday, find a spot and then decide how long to stay. You are no longer able to do this. Everything must be booked in advance. We talked to several other campers and no one likes this new system. It was a terrible, terrible idea. One other issue is why does recreation.gov need to collect $8 for EVERY reservation? It's an electronic system and I can't believe maintenance on the software can possibly cost that much, considering the number of camping locations that use that site.

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
