Very cordial and helpful staff! Gorgeous setting on Lake Shelbyville. Well planned campground with good spacing, fairly level site. We were camped at site 185 at the end of a peninsula on the waterfront. Super clean restrooms.

Campground was clean and quiet. The beach was cool for the kids.

The spots need to be wider for parking my truck would not fit in front of my camper other than that it was an awesome spot

#15-Pull through site with slight slope but manageable, the best part is the walk down path (sorta steep :() to a beautiful beach and fishing spot! Close to water fill up and flush toilets!

The view of the lake is picturesque and being able to walk down the water from the side was nice. The bathrooms were very clean.

This site has some lovely, fairly private sites along the perimeter of the RV camping area. Most are very shady and cool in the heat. There were two separate camp hosts who split duty time. Both were personable and knowledgeable about the site.

Keep an eye on your things!!! Someone took our EMS Surge Protector while we were at the bathhouse in our camper van. We returned and since we were leaving for the evening after dinner we never plugged back in & took a nap. It wasn't until we got home about 11 we found out that our EMS was gone! We could tell someone on two bikes had been on our site so I left a note in the box at the front gate at 10 when we left. Joe called us at 2 pm and said 2 guys on bikes had turned it in from a "vacant" site the previous afternoon. Please when someone turns something in on a "vacant" site ask them what date was on the checkout slip, what's the site #, look up their phone number and call them.Last time was our lawnchairs and firewood. We had to return the next weekend because we leave an hour away. We usually love USACOE parks but this is the 2nd time something was taken. Last time it was our lawn chairs (cleaners had that) and firewood (neighbors). People need to look at the checkout date posted on the site # post and keep your paws off other camper's items. Thanks.

Quiet & peaceful.

Park is great.]Complaint: Our tax money pays for these parks. Every American holds a stake in these parks. These ACOE parks open the season way to late and close way to early.John Gray

Clean bathrooms, clean shower houses, camp store was awesome. Water front sites are bit tricky but worth the view!

I had a reservation for one site but when we got to the site we didnt like it so we ask the attendant if we could switch. He cheerfully switched it for us!
@PaulA828E973A1 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #22
Went there for some r&r. The campground was clean, restrooms were clean. The camp store was open and the staff was very friendly.

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.
