Host was helpful and friendly. Worked hard to keep the grounds cleans and the bathrooms spotless. Cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen at a campground.
@SteveS6334481 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025
Site was clean, lots of space and not at all close to others. Surprised that campfires were allowed which adds some joy. The walk to the lake is not too bad. Water spigot close, and pit toilets a bit farther. Someone nicely put motion activated LED lights inside the outhouse which is really clever. Great camp host. Would love to return.

My campsite was clean when I arrived. The campgrounds were quite although full. Jane, I believe her name was, was an amazing host. The outhouses were cleaned and checked several times a day. Great camping experience. And even caught some Kokanee.

Wonderful!

Always good family time camping at Trapper Creek...The water in O'Dell Lake was really warm and we got to have a camp fire this year.
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #24
The campground host, Jane was very dedicated to keeping the sites clean, removing trash and cleaning the fire pits. She frequently cleaned and checked the bathrooms and updated the reservations. She calmly worked to resolve issues any campers may have had. She was one of the most hard working hosts we have ever encountered and we have been camping for 50 years.

Great campground, with a few caveats...1. It backs up to the train that crosses the cascades. The train goes by around five times every night. 2. Everyone just parks their boat on the beach and cuts through campsites to get there.
@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #5
The campground is nice but not well maintained. We had a reservation but couldn't get into the site due to low hanging tree branches on both sides of the site entrance. We told the host about the problem and said we would take one of the first come sites. She said that was okay but we would have to pay for the different site. The whole thing turned into a big hassle

Perfect spot for peace and good time with the family. Camp host was honestly the friendliest person Ive ever met. Helpful and great with the kids. We would love to return to this campground. Easy access to water and toilets but it never felt crowded. Bring bug spray!
@LeshiaS64BC469 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025
The camp host was the best we have ever had.
@ThomasD6597226 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #4

@DeloresL5A6B07 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #22
We loved this campground! It has large campsites broadly spaced out and beautiful forest and lake.
@DuaneB6484283 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #28
The camp host was incredibly helpful and nice to us. She went out of her way to help us see the types of campsites that we could get for our camping at Trapper next year
@DawnW4B992FC90 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #26
The toilets were full and the trash was not emptied the whole week, but apparently, the people who take care of the camp changed. Half way through the week a host came and she was friendly and helpful. Maybe the trash and toilet things were an exception to the rule.
@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025
Camping at Trapper Creek is always a good time. Great campground and boat ramp, nice camping sites. Fairly decent areas to beach a boat. The only downside is how over grown the brush is. You used to have a good view of the lake now you can't see it. Pulling into the campground limbs are hanging out in the road just needs a little bit of landscape maintenance but overall it was good a good weekend.
@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025
No camp host, bathrooms were always out of paper and not clean!
@BobandDCD39B3C · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #29
Nice campsites, very clean pit toilets.
@GLENNL5639297 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025
it was bad
@CarolE8523267 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025
Beautiful area, quiet except for the 6 kids near us. Campground needs a lot of maintenancebadly needed road repairs (large potholes), cleaning off bridges, restrooms out of TP, our picnic table was covered with needles and leaves. No Forest Service staff check in (drive around the park). Some people noisy after 10pm. Our campsite was nice, close to the lake.
@ThomasD6597226 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #3
no camp host . people said reservation wa.s confusing. i have been going there for 50 years. probaly should have a camp host on site
@RobertG6814422 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #27
Lady ranger/park person was super helpful, and also alerted me of a fire up near The Dalles where I had told her I was headed next. Extremely clean bathroom, friendly people, loved it!!!
@MattP6267224 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025
Honestly, the campground felt a little unprepared. There was no camp host. The dumpster that serves the campground was overturned. I had a great time, but the site has looked better in recent years.
@BrigitteGA8236 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #30
Beautiful site on the lake. Very quiet this time of the year. Running water would have made it absolutely perfect.Also, the boat ramp is difficult to access with a long RV.
@GaryD2260868 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #7

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!!!
