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.

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!!!

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.

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!!!!!!

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.

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.

We have camped at Sweetwater for many years and as always we enjoyed our time there Thank you for a great safe place for me and my family to enjoy
@WandaM1825550 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #42
We loved our spot and the campground was monitored very well. The beach was clean and our granddaughter loved the playground. I will book there again.

We stayed in campsite 143. Was a little difficult getting into the site. The site was not cleaned up upon arrival. Trash was on the table and fire pit. The grass at this campground really needs to be cut and maybe this will help with insects. The bathrooms were not well kept and there is no soap dispenser in any bathroom. The campground has cut the connections on the flush line to clean your dump tank. We spoke to the host, the ranger, and maintenance. When asked to be fixed they said they are trying to cut down times at dump station due to having 100 sites. My husband did buy and repair one of the lines to be able to flush but Im sure they will cut that as soon as they find it. The park is quiet thats about it. We will not return.

Pleasant experience. Beautiful lake. If you weren't aware, do bot try and check in after dark. They will, however, let you park outside the gate until 7am if you do arrive after dark.
@JackieR969D00D · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #36
We just stayed for the first time st Sweetwater and the first time in our new travel trailer! Both were perfect! We have 3 more little trips scheduled there before summer is over.
@TracyG3379421 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #99
The bathroom and shower was very clean. Campground was beautiful and very clean for the most part. Had a rude neighbor next to us that made a pleasant trip into a uncomfortable spot. Could not use our lantern light without having curse words yelled at us and loud conversations with no regards to others.
@KarenN9769488 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #112
Our family gathers at Sweetwater Campground every year on Fathers Day. Our parents started the tradition and we have been getting together there with all our kids and grandkids for 40 years. Some stay a week and some can only come for the day. It's a great way for our family to keep in touch and our kids to get to know and appreciate family. We always have a great time.
@MacavanK7C1257 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #89
Campsite was amazing!Bathrooms were not clean at any point.
@PavloP73710F50 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #78
Site 78 is for handicapped. Cars drive on the road near and have to slow down due to speed bump. That means you constantly look at them as they draw attention. Especially big boat trailer trucks, and its often. Trash dumpsters are 5 min walk. You'll likely store trash in car or drive with car to dumpsters. Water faucet at every site. water access is good for site 78, but not a swimming spot. Get the sites that are closest to beach.Check is isn't at 4, call ahead to be sure. it starts at 1pm. They ask for everyones first names and car plates. No hikes.

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!!!
