Had site 113. Good privacy at this site. Need to be towards passenger side when backing in as it slopes off and not level towards driver side. Full hookups. Good Verizon signal able to stream tv. Will stay again when in the area.

Great location. Easy in and out. Very quiet and peaceful surrounds. Sites are spaced out well.

Site 25 was perfect - it has been added to our "favorite sites" list! We came for a relaxing & quiet weekend away from the busyness of daily life and that's what we experienced. The hosts are always great and helpful as needed. The restrooms & showers were clean and comfortable. The grounds are always well maintained. This park provides all we need for a camping get-away and we will be back! Thanks!!

Very nice park with mostly level sites.

I left on a Sunday morning but I was scheduled to leave on the following Tuesday. I never received a refund for my shorter stay. So watch out for that if you don't stay the entire time you originally reserved.

A well-kept campground with good access to the sites. There are various types of sites from sunny to shaded and all seem pretty level. It's quiet as there are no major highways nearby. Sullivan is close enough for errands, but not too close. The Ranger was welcoming and check-in is easy. The dumpsters are all in one place away from the sites and that keeps the sights and smells away.
@GregW2511215 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #4
Clean and tidy sites, courteous and helpful staff. Will stay there again if we're in the area.
@AndreaG2267730 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #55
We did a family camp trip. We had 4 separate campers. We used one buddy site and two other sites. We reversed one camper and all camper doors were visible from the buddy site. This was by far our best sites for our family trip. The showers were spotless. Would come back again.

In the Army Corps of Engineers campground book, it said "Reservations accepted." I opted not to make a reservation ahead of time, so I could look at the sites first. When I got to the campground, I found a site and was about to set up and learned someone had reserved the site, but it was not marked in any way, so I moved, no big deal. However, as I talked to the neighboring campers, they shared they and their friends reserve the same two campsites every weekend. They've been doing it for years. One of the sites was probably the best site in the entire campground and every weekend it goes to them. Perhaps they were exaggerating, but this seems odd and also not exactly equitable. The sites were of decent size, but close together and not a lot of trees offering privacy from neighboring campers. The lake is beautiful though and the campground was quiet.

Bo Woods our favorite campground. The campground is kept so clean and well mowed. The check-in experience goes very smooth.
@GaryG8138589 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #47
Loved camping at Bo Woods. Spent every evening at the dog park for an hour. Nice view of sunset by the picnic pavilion We went to Arthur to eat at Yoders and shop at Beachy bulk foods. Nice shady spots fairly level. We also enjoyed our picnic lunch at Willow Ridge winery. They have some excellent wine and are very friendly. The shower house was clean and nice shower head.
@ShawnT8362045 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #24
Love this camp ground but really think the bathroom and shower house need to be cleaned and lots of repairs need to be done but other then that great experience
@JeffreySFA67B7 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #109
Excellent campground. We stayed in site 109, a full hookup site.
@RichardE734484 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #120
This provided a great time to get my wife in a totally different setting as she has memory issues. It did her good to get in a setting other than our house.

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.
