Boulder was such a wonderful experience! The grounds are maintained really nicely, they come around every morning and clean out the fire pits, the staff was amazing and so friendly! Of course, the beauty of the lake is incredible and the campground for a holiday weekend so peaceful!! Definitely will be back.

Very clean and spacious campsites with views of the lake at every site. Well maintained.

Its beautiful. Employees were super nice and accommodating. The only issue I had were how bad the bugs were. We camp all the time at different locations and Ive never experienced bugs like that before.

A great place. Been here a few times and cant say enough good things about it. Very clean and well kept. Hosts go above and beyond to make your visit great. Our go to place 1.5 hours from st. Louis, our home.

5/5We absolutely loved our stay! The camp hosts were amazing so welcoming, helpful, and always making sure everyone was taken care of. The sites are well maintained, level, and easy to set up on. The location itself is beautiful, offering peaceful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Restrooms were cleaned regularly and always stocked, which made our stay even more comfortable. We cant wait to come back!

@DawnH3920486 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #10
Everything was great except the weather was just too hot to enjoy camping.
@CodyR6810047 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #56
The new shower house with a private shower/toilet room is great.
@MichaelS179730 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #23
Great campsite. The only thing is they need water and sewer hook ups. We left early since we ran out of water
@JasonW3535415 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #73
The atmosphere of Boulder campground is very family friendly. The play ground in the center of the campground is rather small but enough for several small children to play at once. The only recommendation I would suggest is adding to the play ground area and equipment.
@TravisHE9B3ED9 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #12
Great location, clean, friendly, easy accessible, multiple point to fill fresh water tanks.

@SherryD2C826EA · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #34
The views are beautiful from this spot only downfall is the sun in the afternoon gets pretty hot
@ScottG4E7755CC · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #39
Awesome campground way nicer than KOA or good Sam. The pads are all paved very wide and are very level. Even the picnic table is on the paved pad. Keeps the camper very clean inside.
@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #62
Very clean shower house and many shaded spots to pick from. We were in #62 which had a lot of area and shade and very close to the shower house.
@DebbieM9241459 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #1
The hosts Kevin & Wendy were super friendly & helpful! And the nightly sunsets over the lake were my favorite part of our stay! The bathrooms were clean & air conditioned! We took the ranger-led sunset tour of the dam which was interesting and watched fireworks from the Dam West Beach.
@RobertP6375002 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #25
Beautiful facilities beautiful campground great experience all the way around
@BenjaminT81538 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #73
First true camp in our camper. Two kids 5/3 absolutely 100% EPIC! Memories made forever. The most friendly camp hosts. Absolutely clean shower houses and bathrooms. The absolute best first place to make memories!
@SarahB5025907 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #31
Awesome view of lake from campsite. Clean and well maintained!
@MarkA9878568 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #39
The sites are great. The campground hosts are even better. They remember you, come visit, make it a great weekend. We used to do Pere Marquette all the time but have moved to Boulder. The park is clean and all sites have a lake view.
@haroldMDEAFC25 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #42

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!!!
