Please don't go here...I want it all to myself. It is quiet and beautiful.
@KateH4574741 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #39
Super large lot with lake access and a massive firepit. Had a wonderful time! Make sure you close the gates when your whole party is there to avoid people coming through. We also paddled over to the cliffs left of the campsite and jumped off of them, it was a blast!
@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #26
Very well run. Mosquitos were active. Just be prepared.
@SeanB1801420 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #30
Nice campground, lots of trees and beautiful lake and stream. Couple of nice trails close by. Camp hosts friendly and kept everything clean and tidy. Lots of mosquito's which I knew there would be from experience, but told later in year not as bad. No cell service which for me is a bonus. Why go camping and spend all of your time on your phone. Enjoy Nature!!! Good place to camp!

Nice improvements to the campground. Very clean. Great camp hosts.
@NellaA5B66BA8E · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #39
Spot 39 is a great small group site. The camp hosts were very good. We will go back
@LeeAnneM039C3B · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #39
Excellent spot. Hiked and explored the trail right out from the camp spot all the way to the gate of another dirt road. You can see into this spot when you drive around the road loop, but many spots in this group camping area offer complete privacy. Camp host wanted to see my reservation, and I was able to barely bring it up online, as AT&T provided a bar of service. Verizon users complained of no service. You may want to take a screenshot or print out your reservation before arriving.

The camp hosts were not doing their job. I have stayed at Tally many times and the previous hosts were very detailed, assuring the bathrooms were clean, the grounds maintained , the bees managed (traps hung ), the dock was out and would have been thoughtful enough to let campers know when they arrived if there was an issue with any core services. (the website mentioned construction, so I expected to hear heavy equipment off and on as they worked on the roads, but there was no warning about there being NO POTABLE WATER)The current hosts:1. Failed to refill the sanitizer in the bathroom at all during our 2 night stay which was empty on arrival, though they dropped off one toilet paper roll at a time a few times a day, I saw campers carrying their own TP into the bathroom closest to our campsite #4 several times.2. Failed to let us know on arrival (when it would have been easy to leave and obtain water) that none of the water spigots throughout the camp were functioning resulting in NO POTABLE WATER our entire stay.3. Failed to do any bee/yellow jacket maintenance, no traps were hung and the bees were so bad we could not stay on the beach and only had relief when out on the lake.4. Failed to put out the dock and when asked about it seemed put out So if we were camping without any services, what was the $24/night getting us? NOTHING.I did contact recreation.gov re above and they submitted a request for a refund which has to be reviewed by the Facilities manager. I will be calling the Facilities manager re above. My husband and I were very disappointed in the camp hosts/issues above.

Camp hosts were horrible this year!
@HunterH8528172 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #15
Great campground. The guy running it was awesome too.
@TyronB411DE864 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #G1
We were in the Pavilion group camp and after only 2 days into our 10 day reservation we were disrupted by construction. They were behind on construction and the guy from the construction came into our site and started swearing and verbally abusing our group that we needed to move trailers. We moved the trailer he needed and for the next 3 days it was big machinery digging trenches literally feet from our trailer. The trenches were left open at night which was a huge safety hazard especially with our children. Before the construction guy came into our site and started hollaring and swearing we were given no communication that there would be the construction right beside our trailers. This carried on for 3 days in our site. Ruined our holiday. Side note: we have photo/video of the whole ordeal including the verbal abuse by the construction guy.

Great campsite, great lake.
@DavidAVA565711 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #4
Great place to camp with plenty of room between sights butConstruction / improvements was occurring during our stay which was disclosed at booking. However, there was no dust control for the high volume of equipment traffic and was definitely needed.Once the improvements are completed, it appears that sites will be very tight.
@AmandaK6014539 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #34
We have been trying to get this spot for years and finally lucked out. Loved that it was right on the water and secluded from other camp spots. Nice and spacious too
@SarahG7471679 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #6
We were not told about the construction. So our camping experience was really terrible and not peaceful at all.
@ForestP1737974 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #29
Campground was clean and well maintained. The host was dealing with construction and did everything they could to accommodate everyone. Bathrooms were cleaned daily and the garbage bins were cleaned daily as well. Plenty of space between sites to enjoy your stay without feeling on top of your neighbors. Really enjoyed the two mile hiking loop at the north end of the lake. Offers a great view of the lake and the trail is well maintained.

Love Talley! But ssshhh! Don't tell anyone!
@DuVetteD55ACAE · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #25
Wonderful campground Beware that they have deer mice. I got two in my trailer the day I arrived. Great spots and access to a lot of outdoor stuff
@EmmaKB1496B772 · Camped on Aug 26, 2023 at Campsite #3
Smaller campground, very close to the lake. Bathrooms were pretty gross and filled with flies
@PatSF82D1758A0 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #G1
Excellent location for a company event.
@ShaneS5435560 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #39
Normally if I could give it a 10 I would but this time we had a very unpleasant visit from a stranger. Otherwise its a beautiful place with always pleasant and helpful hosts.
@AnthonyM286222 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #25
Short drive in on a well maintained gravel road. The campground sites were comforatable and the lake was amazing.
@SherryS7952665 · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #14
Close to town and good location for camping with younger children.
@JoeP4395388 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #6
CG staff was great. Very informative and pleasant to talk with.

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.
