Site 22 was large and a great location, close to water, bathrooms, and a small walk to the lake. Definitely one of the most open sites as there werent many trees to offer the illusion of privacy. The campground was well maintained with clean bathrooms. Would definitely come again.

@RachelA5531631 · Camped on Aug 31, 2025 at Campsite #16

Cultus is our absolute favorite spot for summer fun. Can't beat it.

Beautiful campground and site.Arrived to people camped in our site. They said the camp host let them set up camp there. After they left and we set up, went to talk to camp host and they were not there. The three nights and four days we camped there, the camp hosts were absent.

@AndrewF3500044 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #46

The lakefront and swimming area were great. The large sites allowed privacy and room for kids to run around. The pull-through rv parking was very sloped and blocked by branches. The host was absent and useless - bathrooms filthy and not stocked, reservation cards not updated, etc.

Campground was very clean and spacious. Access to water was easy

@LindaH1671742 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #28

Bring your own toilet paper.

Absolutely enjoyed our camping trip at Cultus Lake. The campground was nice and clean, the lake afforded numerous opportunities for fun, SUP, personal watercraft, boating, fishing. All in all a great trip.

@BeckyO01B10651 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #52

Maintenance of bathrooms was lacking!

@staceyd6239896 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #48

First time here and we really loved it! Great campground, warm crystal clear lake that is knee deep 50ft out. On my downside no showers. But would recommend and will come back!

@MichaelN518707 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #37

We had a great experience. The weather was great! No smoke! Our only complaint was the garbage in loop 2 was overflowing. Need 2 garbage cans.

@EmilieWE111752 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #35

Great campground. The campsites are decently spaced apart and very well maintained. I was there the Monday after 4th of July weekend and spent one night. I stayed at campsite #35 and although it wasn't RIGHT next to the lake, it was a short walk to a relatively secluded spot on the shore. People were well-behaved and everyone was really respectful of each other. It's a little more developed of a campground and lake than I would normally want, but if you don't mind more people, then this is the place to go!

@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #19

Honestly I would not recommend spot #19. Its down in a little hole and the back in ramp is very soft dirt which could create a traction problem. There were plenty of open spots and I was extremely eager to move to a better spot but the camp host was never at their spot.

@LodellH9E654FB · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #47

Such a beautiful setting!! We loved our time at Cultus Lake, including pontoon boating, kayaking, floating on the lake, hiking, dinner at the lodge, and family/friend time. We do wish there were showers available, and electricity and cell service would be nice, but not a game changer. We will be back! The only other negative was the annoying mosquitoes!! Overall a great experience!

@DavidV5073563 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #47

We modified our date to land lakeside sites. The lake is eye candy, especially at sunset. In early June we have typically experienced wind or mosquitoes. When the wind stops, the mosquitoes move in.

@kristlwBED5DDE · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #16

There was no water for our 4 day vacation at Cultus. It was turned off and we never understood why.

@claudiaf398860 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #36

GGreat campground with the sites right on the lake!

@PamelaS2519925 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #22

Beautiful setting, well maintained campsites and many amazing outdoor activities.

@CherylC6330808 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #33

Our stay was 5 days. We saw the campground host 1 time. We had to ask him to put toilet paper in the bathroom. He was totally not engaged. He was not keeping toilet paper in the bathroom. His boss came through at one point and left toilet paper with another camper to put in the bathroom. He NEVER cleaned the bathroom. Definitely at the bottom of the pack for hosts.

@GuyG6118713 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #33

Just very glad to be able to extinguish a very scary fire and not have to evacuate the campground. You are welcome

@JoniL721399C05 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #49

Spot 49 is great! Even got our 36 in and nicely leveled!

@Alexisd5800659 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #29

clean and well kept facilities. Camp host (Dawn) was a doll!

@Stephanie22540 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #21

Beautiful area. Great camp host. Nice large campsites. Walkable areas, and water access.

@TylerF2D8B30A3 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #14

The lake is lovely.The night we were there it was VERY loud with no repercussions for the loud parties. Quiet hours exist for a reason, because tents aren't soundproof and sleep is nice. We were very disappointed.

@ConnieW8851209 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #43

Cultus Lake is one of our favorite places to camp. Pros: The campsites are nicely spaced apart, offering plenty of both shade and sunshine; the lake offers great swimming, boating and lounging activities; The Cultus Lake Lodge is a short hike away, offering a cute little restaurant, boating vessels and a selection of provisions you might have forgotten to pack. Cons: Because Cultus Lake is a popular destination, reservations are difficult to get. Walking through the campground, you will find many sites reserved (there are 50 sites), yet unoccupied. This is a shame as there are many folks who would have loved a site. Perhaps there is a way the folks that operate the campground can penalize no-shows and open the sites for other happy campers.

@TamiS4819202A0 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #44

Site was extremely unlevel, but nice spot down a bit to pitch a tent. Walk path down to lake was mostly private. My reservation wasnt updated on the post, but the host never stopped and I always missed them to ask.

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
