Kelly and Justin get 5 stars. Both were really nice and helpful. The rude campers next to me with their party lights get a zero. Like like being next to a live concert event. Fashoda is beautiful.

Great beach! Pleasant facilities, tons of shade and both grill and fire pit are well kept. showers having hours is a bit weird but we managed. Restrooms are vault toilets so be prepared. Bears are no joke, secure your goods.

The camp ground was beautiful. The camp host, Kelly, was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were the cleanest and freshest smelling camp bathrooms that I've ever used! I'd definitely look forward to coming back.Mark

Ive been to many campsites and dont plan on going back to this one. The culture was off. People were making all sorts of noise till 4am. There was no noise curfew. People were playing loud music during the night. There was no peace.

Amazing campsite with awesome views. Camp host Kelly was fantastic!

Kelly the camp host was awesome!!

Been coming here for several years now. Its a great place for families. I just wish the adults would pick up their trash and teach their kids how to respect wildlife and nature. As a parent, I saw many adults leaving trash everywhere, feeding wildlife, and disrespecting the space. People were also blocking the road and not parking in the turnouts correctly. Others went the wrong way when its a one way road. Kelly, our camp host, was really friendly and helpful.
@NicholasC11628 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #16
The camp host (Kelly I believe) was incredibly friendly. We've been visiting Fashoda 1-2 times per year for the past 5 years and I've never seen the bathrooms so fresh and clean. Loved it!
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #26
The camp host and camp group was nice. It was the rude people in the next few camp sites. They played music until 11 pm. I enjoy camping but other people ruin the experience.
@NhonV2AEA4816F · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #27
Kelly, the new camp host was very nice or helpful.The campground was beautiful and I have never seem any host clean the restrooms as often as she.Picnic areas along the trails were also extreme well maintained. Will definitely book again and hopefully see Kelly the next time I am there.
@KristenWCC392F · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #10
The location was easy. Plenty of parking. Right next to the beautiful lake. The trail head to Bassi Falls was about 20 mins a must see. We will be back.
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #14
Our camp host Kelly was great and did such an amazing job. The site was well maintained. Great time there.
@GiselaVD818D1B · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #25
The new camp host Kelly is the nicest and most welcoming host that we have experienced. We have been going to this campground for over 10 years now and always have a wonderful time. Kelly was always checking on all the campers making sure everything was ok and she kept the bathrooms clean. I hope she is there next year again!
@JillM5029136 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #5
We really enjoyed Fashoda campground. The host was so helpful and the vault toilets were clean and well stocked. The only issue is I would advise people to either not choose site 5 or to be aware that campers in site 8 will cross directly through your campsite at all hours because the pathway from that site to the parking lot and additional bathroom around is far too long and people just dont use it.
@JenniferA28334 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #2
Always the best time here. Water was nice and full, be going here almost yearly for 16 yrs. 1st time we ever had a bear go through our stuff. Which cut our trip a day short.
@OlegK78039413E · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #18
Our family has been coming to Fashoda for last 20 years every year around July 4th. And unfortunately to say this year has been the worse. And it's all because of the ranger or the host there. She was always under the influence, always has an open beer can in her car. She was extremely unprofessional, very rude and very aggressive. She was dropping f words in front on our children, screaming and constantly threating to kick us out. Even though we had a really nice and quiet group. At one time she came in at 10pm and tried to force us to all go into our tents even though we had no music playing and we were not loud at all. Another thing there was never any toilet paper and toilets were very dirty.
@JulioCC6409C1F · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #1
I give it only 3 stars because the camp host was not doing his job. All the bathrooms were out of toilet paper and were really dirty. Other than that everything was really good like always , we camp here every year and its always very nice place .
@ClaudioCBFA107 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #13
Wonderful experience! Stayed at campsite 13, lots of trees to set up guyline for our pup. Lots of space to set up and being so close to the water for afternoon dio was great! Wonderful hikes in the area that are dog friendly. Will return for sure! Especially mid week when things are quiet.
@JeffreyO357529 · Camped on Aug 21, 2023 at Campsite #2
Campground clean. But generator out so showers were closed.
@AshleyT9136540 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #10
Great location right next to restrooms , close walk to the water . On a slight slant.. we were able to fit 4 tents . Always a good time !
@CarieD30B7BC73 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #14
Best Family vacation spot!Love the lake, land, and the staff!!
@sama719D4CE4B4 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #1
It was ok except that the showers were not working so we had to drive to another site to shower.toilet remains unflushable. Site would be great with flushable toilet. Love that site is walking distance to Lake.
@AlitaSF44A8D84 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #12
The lake was beautiful- too bad about the litter that was left at our campsite.The trash bins were over flowing- so I guess people decided to throw trash at the sites!
@MichaelJ226184 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #5
Dumpsters overflowing and bathroom clean out smelled up the entire campground for an entire day. But it was an amazing trip for my family.

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.
