The Campground Hosts were friendly, polite and delightful to talk with. The weather could not have been better. An improvement over years past. That said, Campground Hosts need to be aggressive with communication when people need to be informed.

This was a very nice campground, with good security and well cared for.

Nice camping spot and not too far from Atlanta. The campground was well managed. We enjoyed our first car camping. I will definitely be back again

Park was clean. Employees were friendly. Several dogs were roaming the park off lease.

Nice park with well maintained campsites. I did get woken up by what sounded like a college party one night while a big group was arriving to their sites late after dark. Overall great experience and will go back.

Great check in process and check out process. We loved the site, but the previous campers left quite a bit of trash at the site. Would highly recommend our site for easy access with kayaks.

Campground is well maintained, EXCEPT RESTROOMS. We arrived on a Monday and left on Friday morning. A repair was made to one of the men's showers, but that was the only service worker seen. The floors were not swept or moped, nor the showers cleaned once. The shower curtains did not fit. One too long, one not wide enough. All the walls and floor needs a good pressure washing.These details will not prevent us from returning. No other complaints.

There were many issues this time that made our stay less than enjoyable. This is an annual trip that we plan every year for my sons birthday. This year he turned 10. Our group included two campers of grandparents and two families with small children. None of our campsites had been mowed in quite some time. Knee high grass on most of the campground and poison oak everywhere. I understand its camping but when you have toddlers, you pay for a campsite in hopes that it is maintained properly. The bath houses were gross. Not once in our almost two week stay did they even smell like any form of cleaner had been used. I never even used the shower because they were gross and because one of the hosts after telling me it was good to go, still came back in the bathroom while I was in there. Male in a female bathroom knowing he had just allowed me in. The hosts basically made continuous laps through the campground harassing people. I was even followed one night from the bath house to my site, to the point he had to turn his headlights off so that I could see to back in, he was literally sitting parked outside the bathroom. My site tags clearly displayed in my windshield, so why he did this Im still not sure. They were enforcing rules not posted anywhere. For example, we had two boats in our group. We go to the boat ramp, one car parks in the car parking, we all go out. They harassed that person saying they save those spots for handicap, they are not marked handicap and there is no signage saying anything or the sort. We actually ended up checking out a day early because we e were just over it. There are no longer any washing machines or dryers there either. Some of our party was there for nearly two weeks, so that complicated things further. We were not some huge party crowd acting crazy or doing anything to cause such harassment. We will not be back. This campground seriously needs an overhaul management and maintenance.

Bring your ant poison and your lawn mower. Oh and a bathing suit you don't mind wearing in not so clear water. People working here are super nice. Overall good place, especially for paddling.
@LoriS9698117 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #66
Awful place. Very nasty. Not good upkeep. Police activity is ridiculous. Not safe for our kids. Fighting drugs people going to jail people running from the law its crazy here. DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANYTHING!!!

I absolutely loved being out here
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #60
This is a great experience. The staff was attentive. We saw the park host often as they drove around and checked on everyone. This is an awesome campground highly recommended

Great campground. Staff was awesome.
@RonG70936A823D · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #131
Park maintenance seems to have really gone downhill. Bath houses very unclean, grass had not been mowed in months and erroneous parking taking up spots at the boat ramp blocking actual users from parking. It was a holiday week, but still unacceptable and worse then we have seen over years past during the same holiday week.

PENNY AND HER HUSBAND AT THE GATE WERE THE BEST!!!!!!
@AshM72976758FA · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #9
The campsite was covered in garbage. Broken glass underneath the picnic table and on the tent pad, heaps of cigarette butts littered around the site, broken plasticware pieces were strewn around the table and underneath it. There was also trash in the fire pit. I reported it to the people at the front gate, and they said there was nothing they could do since the only person responsible for the sites is off on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Nobody ever came to clean the site and I left early because of it. Neigboring campsite had a dog that barked at any movement or people. The waterfront by the site apparently is a very popular locaation for boaters to go and party. Expect loud music and partying noise throughout the day and into the night.
@LeslieYE609803 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #66
Dont ask to many questions. Some of the gate attendants dont like you questioning them.
@RahulS1864120 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #32
Overall very good experience. Only regret is bathrooms were not cleaned so often but it is not a show stopper. Bathrooms need a upgrade too. Will visit again.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
