Fabulous campground and wonderful camp host. We will be back!

@Kristiana08B4D · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #16

Even a little cell service in the area.

@SusanA7851316 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #12

This was the cleanest, most peaceful campground ve ever visited. The host David was so friendly, helpful, and responsible - a highlight! Gorgeous location as well.

We camp often, and we found that this campground has the most amenities. It has excellent Bear Lockers for storage, a raised platform for your BBQ grill, and even a separate stand-alone BBQ grill of its own. Each site has a flat and well-prepared space for tents, and there are a few double-sites for larger groups. The only downside is the pit toilets, but at least they are clean and reasonably un-smelly. Remember to bring a screened-in pop-up in the Springtime, as the mosquitoes are swarming and hungry.

The Camp Ground Host was friendly, helpful and efficient. He kept the campground clean , especially the restrooms. The Hope Valley area was fabulous. Blue lakes and all the other lakes were wonderful.

@BrianF9020222 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #17

Such a beautiful place. And the camp host David is very helpful and very easy to approach. Only thing I miss is I wish they planted more fish . Back when I was a kid there were plenty of fish all up and down the stream. I been coming here for over 50 years.

@NeilJ9724A442D · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #8

A wonderful, quiet campground in a beautiful valley. Host is very friendly and keeps the place pristine

@KenH4960616 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #4

David is a very good Camp Host! Always enjoy our stay, have been staying in the campground for over 15 years, and even a couple times before it was re done.

@SteveD3C42FDC1 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #12

Nice campground, fairly quiet, and at least our site was nicely separated from neighbors. The river across the road is a beautiful place to walk along, dip into, or hang out by. Our camp host was great, and made frequent rounds throughout the campground. Thumbs Up!

Nice and quiet, good campsites. Great fishing and hiking in the area.

@chrissysFA13AD · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #18

Great campsite. Had campsite 18. Which was a double, room for 12 people. But only had two spaces for tents. Assuming six people are gonna cram into each tent. We had six people total at our site. I just like to get a larger site to have more room. Site was nice and well-maintained, although it was right next to the road. In the middle of the night there were cars driving on the road and people partying across the street at the river. Next time I will get a different site. Bathrooms were very clean as most people had trailers and probably not using them! This was also Memorial Day weekend so temperatures were cold at night! River was great for fishing and lots of hiking nearby

@ChrisW1509692 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #7

This is a nice campground. The bathrooms are clean, and the camp host was friendly and helpful. We were there in mid-May, and there was still water around the campground from the snow melt, so when it warmed up, the mosquitoes came out. After it cooled down in the evening, it was fine. I recommend this campground.

@StephenS245469 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #8

Small, well run campground. Restrooms were very clean. Camp host left water jug at each site to put out fires at the end of the night! Nice touch. Excellent hiking in the valley nearby. Fishing too

@KarenB2737002 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #18

Beautiful valley, nice small and well kept campground. Appreciated how helpful and friendly the host was here.

@IanS7069090 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #14

Great destination, great service! The camp host Dave was incredible.

@DonnaF4591064 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #9

I like this campground because it is a little out of the way from the main road. It is small in the amount of camp sites. Each site is well planned with a designated tent area, bear box, stove and barbeque stands and a fire pit. Water and vault toilets are well maintained by the camp host. There is hiking or walking from camp with enjoyable views.

@HerveBA2BDB091 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #17

Everything was great, except the bathroom.They are awful. Lake Tahoe is a great place !

@ThomasM8282631 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #8

Been going there since the 1980's.. beautiful, peaceful, area that never fails to make me feel sad when I leave it.. close to the Blue lakes and tons of hiking and fishing for all ages. You will not be disappointed.

@SarahP6892621 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #4

This is a lovely, quiet campground. There is nice, easy access to the river from right across the road from the campground and other fun things to do nearby. The host was great and we hope to come back. This is a littl gem just off the beaten path from all the craziness of the Lake Tahoe basin campgrounds.

@JonN2005216 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #16

Great location

@GretchenP54735 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #7

access to lovely creek across blue lakes road from the campground

@JuliW19E7BEAD0 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #10

The facilities and campsites were very clean. The campsites have been recently refurbished with very nice tent pads, new bear boxes and tables, plus bbqs and a nice fire pit.

@EmilyP4531880 · Camped on Jul 29, 2023 at Campsite #2

Stunningly beautiful area and still green in August thanks to this year's record precipitation. Excellent trout fishing right across the road from camp - we caught our bag limit every day. The campsite is clean and well-kept, although the sites are rather small and. close together. They even have level concrete pads for tents, something I'd never seen before. Camp hosts were helpful and friendly. The double sites look great for a larger group. Hope Valley is so pretty and is one of the best campsites I've ever been to!

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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
