Some of these spots, mine included, are very tight with low hanging trees. I would be careful booking one of the campsites that has retaining walls around the Picnic Area if you have a longer RV or trailer.

Site are close together. Shower house was nice and clean.

We liked being backed up to the gorge, very peaceful listening to the water. The asphalt is very thick up to 12 inches be careful not to slip off like I did.

A lovely small campground on the riverside. Sites are small but strategically placed.

We met friends from Dallas that were in a hotel and so us camping (coming from WA state) worked out very well. We had them over one night to the campground for a BBQ at our campsite. Good times and great memories. It did rain hard on us but we got through it okay. It was a bit difficult negotiating the bathrooms. We were given the wrong code but another camper helped us out. Having the shower and the WC in the same room was also a challenge. But otherwise all went very well. We did the baths, climbed the tower and went to the horse races!

Awesome campground with full services for every site. A great little creek and trails to hike to bathhouse row.
@JonathanW14164 · Camped on Mar 30, 2026 at Campsite #23
Small campground along a small stream. Allowing easy access to the highway and hiking the mountains that lead right into the tower hike and even into town.

Wonderful!

We were attending, noted the RVs were the predominant vehicle that was noted could hear light and had to knock on one persons door about the RV experience. Otherwise we appreciate the stream experience and seeing animals that were wild in nature, we enjoyed the hikes that were in the natural park and enjoyed bathhouse role. Thank you for preserving the United States of America.

Great location. We had access to Gulpha Gorge Trail with easy connections to other trails. Beautiful setting. The only downside, no trail maps were available.
@TraceyN05602D5 · Camped on Mar 29, 2026 at Campsite #38
Small, clean campground. Beautiful setting and great location. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and it was quiet! Would love to come back again!

Great hosts. Very clean and nice new shower house. Site 10 wasnt level, even with blocks.

Take a walking stick for the up hill climbs ;)
@WeihongHEF53A6 · Camped on Mar 26, 2026 at Campsite #28
Very lucky to have booked this site, beautiful and convenient to the National Park.
@JohnnieL4F5104 · Camped on Mar 25, 2026 at Campsite #3
Nice campground close to town with full hookups. Bathhouse with clean showers. Nice mix of sites, but the best are along the stream.
@JayW4423954 · Camped on Mar 23, 2026 at Campsite #7
Full hookups in a National Park.
@Danak5362638 · Camped on Mar 23, 2026 at Campsite #30
Campsite was super clean, camp host (Brian) was very friendly and had some great recommendations. We had a site right on the creek which was awesome!
@KarenG3722457 · Camped on Mar 22, 2026 at Campsite #21

@PennyC8572019 · Camped on Mar 22, 2026 at Campsite #42
We love Gulpha Gorge Campground. It's a small but very peaceful Campground. Some of the spots are kind of a tight parking adventure, but doable and worth it!

Clean full service sites at an extremely great rate. With the senior pass we paid ONLY $85 for 5 nites. Very convenient access to trails. Clean private shower house.
@GeorgeRBC9ADB8 · Camped on Mar 20, 2026 at Campsite #5
The campground was clean quiet and great hiking trails
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Mar 19, 2026 at Campsite #35
Overall, this is a nice campground. The sites are close together. It was confusing to know which site # post went with which site. An arrow would be helpful. We had to ask the neighbor which site they were on. The utilities were in the back corner of the site. I would have had to use 2 sewer hoses if I needed to empty the tank. Would use again if in the area.
@RobertG6814422 · Camped on Mar 19, 2026 at Campsite #17
We like Gulpa Gorge, it is well maintained and people there are respectful. The trail to Hot Springs isnt long so you can experience the bath houses + from the campground.
@SusanC3925585 · Camped on Mar 18, 2026 at Campsite #5
First time camping here and we loved it. Nice camping spot nicely screened with shrubbery to give privacy. Restrooms were clean. Definitely want to come back to hike the GG trail!
@MeganR95D52E51 · Camped on Mar 15, 2026 at Campsite #36
Wonderful campground, close to all the fun of hot springs but secluded enough that you feel great sitting around the fire.

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.
