We go once a year. Awesome place. 15 miles on dirt road. Great trout fishing on the lake. It's a hidden gem.

Love this place. Its quiet, comfortable and easy to get around. Love that its far enough off the path that it doesnt get a lot of traffic

We arrived at Posey Lake late in the evening and had reserved site 16 for tent camping. The biggest problem is that there is no tent pad for the site, or any level ground for that matter except for the paved parking spot. The bathroom across the street was also locked. We drove down to talk to the campground host but the host wasn't present in the campground at all - there was only a number posted to call with issues (of course, there is no cell reception at the site...). We noticed many of the other sites also lacked level ground and/or tent pads. This was super disappointing as we had pre-reserved and paid for two spots ahead of time. We did not stay here, nor will we ever stay at this site again.

The campground was stunning! The camp host,Don, was friendly, helpful, a wealth of information and kept the accommodations clean and tidy. We definitely plan to return to this campground.

One of our favorite summer camp spots. 15 miles of dirt road but worth it. Solar in the summer may be weak due to monsoon season but the trout fishing makes up for it!

Nice campground the lake however is full of weeds making fishing off the two docks impossible

Posey Lake Campground exceeded our expectations. Beautiful location, great fishing, and peaceful campground. The road to the campground is rough, but worth it. The Campground Host Don went above and beyond not only to ensure that the campground was beautiful and clean, but personally added to this spectacular environment with his upbeat and over-the-top personality. We will return soon!

Like every year, the like is beautiful and the fishing good. If you are a T-Mobile customer, you will NOT get phone service; however, most other carriers get good reception from the campground.

The campground was extremely clean. The route was clearly marked. The bear locker was very useful. The vaulted toilets were clean. The kids enjoyed the floating docks. Enjoyed the hike to the overlook. Took the utv to hells back bone. Great wildlife viewing.

An idyllic campground. Probably the quietest one Ive ever been to. The road getting there isnt fun but it’s manageable and 20 min from Escalante.

Beautiful campground in a perfect setting. My only complaint is that the website says there is potable water, which is true, but it isnt located at every site. It is sporadically placed in several areas throughout the campground, and theyve removed the typical threaded hose connections on the faucet, so its challenging to fill your fresh water tank on your trailer, and you have to find an accessible faucet to do so which will not likely be right by your 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.
