First, let me say that the campsite itself was more than adequate. Very pleased with it and the shade that it provided. Double wide site that gives plenty of room for the camper and to park the vehicle. There is enough space to comfortably Park a second vehicle there.My complaint is not with the site but with the park policy of requiring a three night stay your reservation is tied to Friday or Saturday night. We were traveling from out of state and having to pay for three nights when we only needed one or two, like Thursday and Friday night did not seem appropriate. I would think the corps of engineer should look at their policy for people who are traveling or live more than 150 miles or so from the campsite. However, we did enjoy our stay there even though we had to pay for a Saturday night that we were unable to use. My Verizon cell service was almost non-existent at this site. AT&T service was fine. Thanks!

Need to have more things to play on at the playground and possibly have another playground in a different area. Also, people are speeding through areas and children are darting out in the road and in bikes. Adults need to slow down and be cautious.

The only draw back with Shaffer Heard is the internet service. Other than that it is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay.

We always have a great time here. The camp hosts are excellent
@PennyP2716444 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #31
Love the spot other the WiFi availability due to signal issues from the trees

Trash everywhere All the campsites we visited were littered with trash
@crystalh224632 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #109
We love this campsite.. especially lake view/access and some grass open areas, along with some shade as well.
@MichaelA251288 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #44
Hosts are great people and very helpful. Maintenance had not cut grass. It was knee high. Cut it myself.
@GaryG8138589 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #70
Location was beautiful, very relaxing, very clean and we will go to this location again.
@ReneeS2634948 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #113
The park is beginning to have Kudzo . I let them know last year. This year it is even worse. It would just take a tiny bit of precaution at this point to get it so the park is not ruined. I have camped here my entire life. It seems very negligent to not take care of this issue before it turns into something large and as well as beauty of the park as well as the trees.
@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #1
Very spacious! We were able to pull our boat right up to the campsite! Super happy with everything except lack of cell service.
@DebbieC4330982 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #4
R shaefer heard is one of my favorite campgrounds! Most of the sites have easy access to the lake and the hosts are always so friendly!
@MarkSE3E8D4DE5 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #57
Very good campground. Our first COE camping experience and it was very successful. Beautiful site and all very well managed.
@MartinS8630207 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #40
Our favorite place to camp!
@KateF3FD908FCA · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #42
Great camping! We snagged this site after a last minute cancellation and really enjoyed how large it is! It is a bit of a walk to the water if you want to get in to swim, if you take the cut through into the bushes/trees to the right you can find a nice beach or fish off the point at the end of the grass where it is deeper. The site is within walking distance to the bathrooms also! The only downside is the sun during the summer which comes up behind the site and sets across the lake, evenings were comfy with a beautiful sunset but packing up in the early afternoon in the sun was scorching.

The lady at the check-in booth was very nice and helpful!
@LynnK6100232 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #75
Bathrooms need some work.
@ANGIEK4501859 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #84
We had really great camping spots and good places to get into the lake and swim or fish
@PattiL4708814 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #52
We love this campground! We do an annual friends camping trip here with several adjacent sites and always have a great time. The boat launch is convenient and easy to launch in and out of. The bathrooms are usually pretty clean, except with folks leave the light on overnight and the bugs are bad. The campsites that we usually reserve are easy to get in and out of, the bathroom is close by and room for parking our boat trailer. I have camped also on the loop with site 82 and it would be helpful to have a bathhouse there.
@RobieB3FF2D2D3 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #34
Site #34 was well maintained. The only problem we experienced was it was very difficult to get into the water with the drop off from the shore.
@SusanP4870118 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #114
Host were super nice! Park / bathhouse / restrooms clean!
@HoracePEDB4ABE · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #95

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.
