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.

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.

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

Excellent campground. We stayed in site 109, a full hookup site.

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.

Great spot, would definitely stop here again when traveling through

I was unable to make it try contacting park via phone and email and got no response? I was sick and unable to travel to this campsite. Had to make a reservation close to where I was staying due to being ill.

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!!!
