Grounds were nice and clean, the lake was just across the street with stairs leading access to sit near the water and watch the sunset (my favorite part), shower houses are AMAZING. Very family friendly

The campsite was fine. Very open and right by the lake. Did a lot of bicycling and walking. Shower facilities were clean and plenty of hot water. Overall a quiet and relaxing visit. Camped for 2 nights.

Loved it here. So quiet and serene, all the other campers were friendly, but I was after solitude and I got it.

Great views of the lake. Restrooms were very clean.
@LloydTBEDE75E7 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #50
I love everything about this campsite. Paved, all near restrooms. Restrooms were kept clean at all times. Showers were close and were clean. Solid metal camp fire ring. No electrical issues and water close by.The host were fantastic. Friendly, eager to make sure I knew where all immunities were, answered all of my questions. Very professional. Please keep these hosts. They both have great personalities. I will be back next year!!!!!

I have a 46 foot toy hauler. I had plenty of room for the TH and my F450. The utilities are well placed and accessible. When you attach your hose, remember to pull down on the faucet bypass valve under the spigot. This is a handicap spot and was the last spot for my size. I would camp here again.
@KarenF9576130 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #14
We love Boulder. Hate the new shower house but love everything else. The addition of the Osprey nest is awesome. Thanks.
@MarkA9878568 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #82
The campground is awesome, the view is incredible. The spots are very large so you are not on top of each other. The campgrounds hosts that are there, 2 of them, complete the experience. You can't ask for more friendly fun people.
@StacyDC06D6F08 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #79
Nice clean campground with beautiful views. Well managed with very nice hosts.
@RebeccaS312468 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #10
The camp grounds were very clean and well lite. The Hosts were pleasant and full of information. We are planning a return trip next year.
@MaryB2951694 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #18
We camped at site #18. We were next to the playground. Thats not usually a problem. But this weekend there was a wedding and a fish fry going on. The kids were not being supervised very well. The volume of noise was so high. Kids were on electric scooters & electric bikes & I was so worried someone was going to get hurt. It was nerve wracking. We vowed to avoid weekends.
@JanetH5048939 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #78
Very clean, neat and organized. Extremely pleasant.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #49
A great campground with great hosts!!!
@ChuckD2392072 · Camped on Sep 8, 2025 at Campsite #32
We were in site 32. It is great! It is shady and paved. Camp hosts are helpful but no overbearing. We will go back!
@CeceliaPB949B1 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #44
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.
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Aug 25, 2025 at Campsite #24

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.
