Went on a very hot weekend in July. Campground was well maintained. Campsite had great shade. Lots of poison ivy all around campground including around trees at camp site

My family and I love camping there and the Host of the North side and south side are some of the best people and hard working folks and I recommend this place for other Families

It was very pretty! Great showers. Very quiet and peaceful. Difficult to fish from the bank of the lakes but we were directed to a pond and had a great time fishing there!

Nice quiet campground with spacious sites. Was really too hot for a lot of hiking. Looking forward to going again in cooler weather

The site and facilities were fine. No problems there. As a local who has camped there many times over the last twenty years I was a little frustrated with the current management company. The website advertising states "two cars per site max" which is what its always been for my entire life....but what they don't tell you is now you have to pay the day use fee for the second car for each day of the stay. Three day stay? That's an extra 24 dollars on top of the 92 paid for the site...just to have a second vehicle (non tow vehicle) in the same site you've already paid for in the campground you've already paid to be in. Historically, the second car was included with the camping fee. The current management company is hands down the worst I've seen in 20 years.It was a little frustrating the lack of flexibility too as we were canoeing the blue river one day and would arrive back about an hour after the noon check out. I was unable to attain a late (1~2 hours) so instead I had to pack my camper up at 445am to make the canoeing. Kind of silly to wake the whole place up packing up and hooking up at 445am when all I needed was an hour or two tops to return from canoeing to pack up. The site was *not* rented for that night so nobody was coming in. Just frustrating experience overall.

We love indian/celina lake. We take a couple of trips here every year. The site managers are friendly and very helpful. The campsites are clean. I would recommend this to everyone.

I like and appreciate Indian Celina Lake campground being the small size that it is. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the campground and facilities were well maintained. It had been several years since I have stayed here, so I was disappointed, however in the condition of the campsites. Although they were well maintained, the once nicely paved areas are now crumbling and deteriorating. Makes parking and leveling a camper a little difficult. I also noted that there were fewer truly shady spots. Overall I was very pleased with the campground.The portion of the hiking trail we went on was maintained and clear. I cannot say this for the entire trail at Tipsaw Lake - it was overgrown and hard to travel.

The sites were well sheltered. The bathroom was clean.

My Family and I really enjoy the campgrounds here and the staff are very welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend if youre looking for a place to camp and relax and enjoy some quality family and quiet time. The lakes provide a great place to fish but only accessible by a boat. Have fun and enjoy

Great campground, very clean!
@PaulF4D52A50B1 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024
Lonnie and Sharron are great folks. Both of them make you feel very welcome. They both are always working and available when you need something like fire wood, ice, etc formation, etc. Restrooms and showers are always clean. I love camping there!
@NicholasW99752 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #12
Campground was quiet, the bathrooms and showers were clean. Firewood and ice was fairly priced. I do wish there was some kind of boat rental for the lakes, or easier bank fishing access.
@JacobR3117523 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #25
Facilties were clean, campers were respectful, beautiful scenery. Will be returning!
@BrendaG6786132 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #12
We love camping here. The sites are unique as they are wooded and private. We wish all campgrounds were like these. Very clean restrooms/showers. We return yearly.

Awesome campground. We stayed three nights in a tent on the south slope, site #24. Great site. Lots of room at the site and space between the campsites. Showers/restrooms were clean and staff was friendly as well. We will definitely be going back.

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!!!
