Love this campground and the spot we was at. Only complaint is the shower house is old and kinda gross but still useable but definitely needs upgraded. Bathrooms at the same location need better ventilation as the other new ones have excellent ventilation

The park was very clean and quiet. The hosts were nice people who cared about your stay and were always available when you needed assistance. The main shower building needed a thorough cleaning and fresh paint. It was nice that the showers were private. There is a smaller bathroom just down the road that was new and very clean.

Been coming to opossum Creek for years love it. But your bathrooms do need some work on the inside.

We liked our camping spot however the water leaked for the entire time that we were there, and there were cockroaches everywhere

The campsite and camp host were excellent. The host was very friendly and attentive. The lake was beautiful and the beach area was awsome

@CharlesH720196 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #48
The only problem at this location is the old bathrooms and showers.

Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. Campground was quiet despite being a holiday weekend. This is one of our favorite COE campgrounds.

Very nice campground and easy check in.
@YeshayhuB5FC44 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #27
Great park, neat and clean site.
@StevenS1501716 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #52
We were in the area to visit family so, we didn't really do any recreational activities.
@BeverlyB50C7B7 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #24
I have sent an email with pictures of the bathroom and shower with the black mold and have not heard anything back yet.
@ToddS5367268 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #40
Great sites with view of the lake along with full shade and a cool lake breeze.
@BrianH4556502 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #35
Very peaceful and relaxing. With lots of things to do outdoors: fishing, hiking, boating, swimming just to name a few.
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #3
Very poor toilets and obvious that entire park needs updating.
@LyleL9AA59CE26 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024
It was a very peaceful and serene. Just need to do a little upkeep to the shower house and restroom.
@DennisM8587674 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #57
Nice quiet campground
@JamieC5721207 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #6
The camp sites are great the bathroom is disgusting. Showers overflow, water running out the doors, faucets don't work, dirty floors and cracked walls. We have been coming here every year for the past 30 years and the bathrooms get worse and more disgusting every year.
@NathanC2334492 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #7
The showers were unacceptable. Water spigots not working properly. Drainage is huge issue, Basically you are wading in 2-3 inches of water. Both toilets and showers in need of painting and general upkeep.
@JaysonV8BC4B5C · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #12
Good place overall, but power was out at campsite and the grounds are starting to fall into disrepair.

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.
