Campground is nice and quiet with nice views. Camp host is amazing!

We were in campsite #1 for the first 2 nights. It's nice because it's close to the Tam McArthur trailhead so if you have permits to hike the trail that's convenient. The trailhead is really busy though so there was a bit of noise in the mornings from hikers parking and getting ready to go. Campsite #1 doesn't really have beachfront, you have to walk a ways through some rocks and little trees to get to the lake but there is a nice little SUP launch when you get there. The last night we were in campsite #5 which has a nice large flat area for parking an RV and it has great flat tent areas closer to the beach. There is great beach access here and good shade too. The only thing is, there is a small parking area across the road from the campsite that people use as trailhead parking for the Little Three Creeks Lake trail, so it's not very private in the mornings when the hikers show up. I didn't see a camp host the entire time we were there but someone did come and clean the restrooms and empty the garbage cans. Bugs were not bad at all! Was there July 30 - Aug 2nd. No cell service in camp but if you walk up the Tam or Little 3 Creeks trails a bit you can get a signal. Beautiful place!

It's a bit of a drive but the lake was wonderful, perfect size for paddleboarding. Campsite was large, private, and clean with a view of the lake. The only problem was our neighbor somehow thought it was ok to have a fire, during restrictions and high wind which was crazy. They put it out by the time we went to bed so maybe the host noticed and said something. I don't think people on the west side of the mountains realize how serious the fire danger is over here, or maybe there is not enough signage at the campground.

Lovely campground on the banks of the lake. Large, private campsites. Clean, well-stocked pit toilet. Great access to lake and hiking trails.
@Charlotte33784 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #14
It was a great campsite with lake side sightline. Fire pit was also nice.

Our site (#15) was quiet and spacious and had good access to the lake for swimming. The site is on a steep hill that levels off near the bottom. However, none of the tent sites were perfectly level... but they were tolerable. The picnic table is also not level, and one side is buried into the ground a bit. There is room for at least two cars at this site on the top of the hill. The outhouse was well maintained and clean and the campground host was very nice.

Lake is great. Not too crowded. Lots of paddle boards and small boats. Campsites are always the best. Hiking, fishing and camping here is our favorite.
@EmilyE1529861 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #16
The campsites on that side of the lake are very steep and the whole hillside where you park was sliding away and had big potholes in it. Other than that, spacious campsites, albeit in a steep hill. Nice hike to little three creek lake. Fishing was good.

Seen a bald Eagle, Osprey, Owl, bats, squirrels, and a potato bug. Windy so be careful with the campfire. Wait until the sun goes down before lighting a fire. There is brush and vegetation near the ring in some of the camps. The reserved spots had nobody. We had the camp to ourselves. Stars were perfect and so were the smores.
@MercedesRCFE05 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #11
This spot had an amazing view of the lake and its surroundings! We did notice that this campsite had less shade coverage than the other sites along the lake. It was nice that the restroom was near by walking but not too close. Important things to pack would be extra bug repellent and extra local wood.
@KarlZA2CBEA6EF · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #5
It is very close to my house. Im in Sisters. Its my favorite campground in this area. Campground is clean and well maintained. New comers should know it is a dry campground except for the lake.

*Beware the Three Creeks Bandits*We love it up there but there have been reports of theft lately and our Naish inflatable paddleboard was stolen right out in front of our site on 9/7/23 . Just hoping others will read this and keep their stuff close and tidy, and hopefully with fewer temptations the scum will go away.

@KarlZA2CBEA6EF · Camped on Aug 24, 2023 at Campsite #6
Campsite and restroom were clean. Its my local lake and almost always nice conditions on the water.
@JimW6270918 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #1
A little worried that our reservation was not posted at our site. Fortunately our friend was early and camping next to us and cleared out some folks taking over the spot. No camp host and no TP made for a rough start to our week. Eventually the camp hosts presence was visible toward the end of the week. We have had lawlessness experiences up at this lake in the past and were glad to see some structure. Beautiful week and was pleased at the end.

You canceled my reservation with 4 hours notice. Shameful
@ChelseaE192323 · Camped on Sep 14, 2021 at Campsite #1
The campsites were beautiful!! One of our best camping experiences. It does get windy at night in the fall so just gear for very cold winds is a must. It’s also pretty rocky so good supportive hiking boots or closed toes shoes.

Lower 3 creeks lake hike was gorgeous.
Not all sites are level or accommodate a trailer.

The camp host was very thorough in keeping the camp and restroom quite clean. He observed Covid distancing when approaching which was kind also. The camp sites need some attention with leveling. The road into Driftwood also needs attention.

No reservations. This is a nightmare. Leave our campgrounds alone. Greed. Money hungry. Tons of empty sites. People don’t show up. This is a failure.

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!!!
