Great location and price. Excellent customer service. They had the power pedestal fixed within a few hours of being notified.

The grounds were kept in pristine condition. The walking trails were cut down in between each campsite making it easy to walk to your friends campsite. The staff are very friendly. The roads are clearly marked and the campsites are large compared to some campgrounds. It was a wonderful stay.

Good size site with access to the water. Pretty level. Wood recommend this site

We enjoyed this campground. It's wooded, so there's plenty of shade. Most sites are on the water, and there's ample room between so you feel some privacy. And, if you have an extra vehicle, there's plenty of space to park. We were only there for a night and didn't visit the facilities, so nothing to report there. We'll definitely be back.

Fire pit and surrounding trees had cigarette butts not cleaned up. The ladies show house was so full of ants and bugs. It was disgusting.REALLY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BUGS INSIDE THE RESTROOMS

Beautiful park. The RV sites are easy to access. We had a site right on the lake. A big deck to look out over the water and picnic table for viewing the sunsets. Lots of trees and nature for seclusion.

We loved camping here. The spacious campsites, views, and size of the park were great. However, we ended up with ants all in and around our camper. One of the reasons we chose this sort of camping was for peace and tranquility but there was a pretty loud and rowdy party just a few spots down from us that went on until well after dark. It was beautiful but not sure we will stay again.

I cannot recommend this campground due to the unacceptable state of the facilities. The bathroom and shower area were the most disgusting I have ever encountered while camping; the toilet was clogged, and there was human waste on the floor. To make matters worse, the campground host was not at the gatehouse when we arrived to check in. Instead of an apology, we were rudely awakened by the host the following morning. Between the lack of management and the biohazard conditions of the restrooms, we will not be returning.

Always a nice place. Bathrooms could be updated. Exact same from 30 years ago.

Enjoyed our stay there, we stayed during the week so there were not many other campers there. The site we stayed at was right at the water with a beautiful view of the lake. We had an elevated wooden deck above the water yet an easy quick few steps down the bank to the water. Even if there were other campers next to us there is still plenty of space between sites. We plan to return many more times in the future and even experience a family group space.

Staff were great and very helpful. Site 117 slopes down a bit so have some leveling blocks. My autoleveling bottomed out.

Lovely campground. My campsite, #104, was clean and level and everything worked well. All the campsites, as far as I could see, are on the water, with plenty of space between sites. Thank you, COE! However, the bathhouses/bathrooms, in all the loops are old and run-down. One bathroom we looked at had a door that could not be firmly closed to the women's side. That is not safe for any woman or girl to go alone. Bathroom in another loop could not be opened because it scraped the ground, was rusty.
@WilliamD160031 · Camped on Mar 23, 2026 at Campsite #48
The campground is very well maintained. We enjoyed staying at the campsite and watching the birds and water foul. We have camped here many, many times and this was our first time seeing Loons in the water. Listening and watching them was truly amazing. The campground is a good place to walk around all the different areas.

A perfect campground! The view of the lake, and walking the park was perfect. Will return.
@ToddH4266202 · Camped on Mar 20, 2026 at Campsite #52
Shared site 52, a double, with kids and grandkids. Nice double site with campers facing one another. Right on lake with easy access to water. The shower house was clean, but looked the same as it did twenty years ago when we stayed at this campground, could really use a fresh coat of paint and new mirrors.
@AprilEAE64FAB8 · Camped on Mar 20, 2026 at Campsite #68
We attended a friends wedding. So it was a short stay. We will definitely revisit. We fell in love with it. Had a hard time finding a site because we wasnt sure about the hill grades. We ended up doing a pull through. #68 Which was still hard to navigate because its a tight fit. But we got it to work. We missed sunsets due to getting there after sunset and the next evening was the wedding. We also enjoyed watch the Osprey dive for fish to bring back to babies. Our neighbor said the dock had an Eagle but we never saw it.

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.
