This campsite is spacious and creekside - absolutely amazing! The whitewater acts like a sound machine, drowning out any noises from neighbors. Super convenient location for the Big Pine lakes trail. Note that there are only pit toilets here, not flush toilets. The toilets were clean and relatively odor-free!

I'd like to commend the camp host at Upper Sage Flat. He does an excellent job taking care of Upper and Sage Flat campgrounds. He (and his faithful dog) were on the job.

A nice clean campground. Directional signage could be improved. Was only there about 10 hours however as I had travel plans.

@QianWAF14C5B87 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #8

Great experience. Our camp site is right next to the big pine creek. The sound from the creek was great to listen to trying to fall asleep, helps with my husband's insomnia. The camp ground is clean and close to the big pine creek trailhead.

@NateM900039F55 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #17

Camping next to the creek was great.

@BobC3980695 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #12

The campground itself was fantastic - and the camp host was great. - He offered to exchange our site with one in the lower campground if we could not get level (I think he was amazed we did eventually), and had a wealth of knowledge about the area. Very nice man. The. campground itself is in very good shape and the bathrooms were kept clean. Note this site (see accessibility) is horrible for longer rigs.

The camp hosts get a Five Star rating! They are always out cleaning up the sites, after campers move out. They keep the place very clean and provide great information on the surrounding area. The reason for the low score is due to the mice. I had mice get into my trailer and then I got traps. I got nine mice in four days. I actually left early due to the mice. They just kept coming. After talking with several folks in different areas, I was told the mice issue is all along the Eastern Sierra Range. I stayed in several campgrounds, but had the same issue. I took all the necessary steps with traps, peppermint oil, and spray foamed my underbelly to fill the small openings. They just kept coming. Upper Sage Flats is a great campground and I hope to return with less mice issues.

Nice campsite, convenient location, very nice campsite manager & host.

The campground is always clean, including the bathrooms. However, the last couple of years the fishing has been quite poor. This year in particular, nobody in our group was able to catch one at or down the hill from the campground, let alone see hardly any. It makes it difficult to accept the $62 annual fishing license fee when it seems like little to no stocking is taking place.

@GregM1251637 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #15

Hosts were very rude and yelled at you if they thought you were not following their rules. Bathrooms were only checked every other day and never actually cleaned. Trash emptied and TP added. Other campers were very friendly. Sites have plenty of room and are cleaned when a new reservation begins.

@JuanitaL996FA7 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #7

Campsite was great the bathrooms were clean. A great experience

@RachelR8534803 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #9

Site 9 had absolutely no trees or any shade. Totally exposed. We ended up paying for FF site at Big Pine Creek CG. So I ended up spending twice the money.

@RobertV7482587 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #13

I enjoyed camping here. Vault toilets were ok. This slot is by the main road, so you may hear cars driving by, but it didnt other us. It is a little close to one of it's neighboring slots so you may hear them if theyre on the louder side. Otherwise, the creek running through the camp ground is nice. Plenty of trees to provide shade. The views of the surrounding mountains were amazing.

@TammyA23B8DD2A · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #15

All was well except one not so small detail. The fire pit is way too tall for practical cooking over the fire. We needed high, searing heat to cook two of our planned meals. It would take a huge amount of wood to build a fire that would cook over a high heat. And really, you want more coals than flame so your food doesnt end up with unwanted soot on it. So, I piled a layer of rocks/boulders in the pit to build my fire upon and got by just fine. But who designed that pit? Stop it. The presence of the cooking grate showed that the intent at manufacturing was to cook over the fire but it would seem the manufacturer doesnt understand the basics of campfire cooking.

@BoxiangT7E7764 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #13

Well maintained campsite. Super nice host. Make sure you go to upper sage flat campground if you book online. There is a sage flat campground which is first come first serve (which has more shade but slightly further from trailhead)

@PHILIPW1366595 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025

Hiking is amazing here, campground is very quiet. Be prepared for cool nights. Ground is a bit rocky so make sure you have something to deal with that if tent camping.

@GordonR9729507 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #2

Camping here was amazing. Id recommend it to anyone.

@JoanneHFABD162 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #8

The camp hosts are outstanding! Every campsite was super clean, and raked! The bathrooms were kept very clean. Hosts worked really hard to maintain a top notch campground. And they were friendly, professional, helpful.

@EmilioT8797A67 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025

Our site didnt have any shade, but once the sun set over the mountain, it was a pleasant quiet place. The sound of the creek nearby made for a relaxing evening. The restrooms, although pit toilets, were spotless and cleaned daily.

@PorterD3F49739 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #17

Being next to the creek was really nice although was a bit loud when sleeping. Super nice spot anyways.

@JaimeA1945615 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #10

Little open to the sun for the day hours but shade after 4pm very close to the river, can get loud but honestly makes for the best white noise.

@BruceH7382571 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #9

My experience at Upper Sage Flat was very positive. The campground was clean, as were the pit toilets. The campground hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the area.No issues or complaints from me.

@ArmandDD5E65E4 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #4

Beautiful campground. Spacious campsites. Soothing creek running by. Clean grounds and bathrooms. Water available. Loved it!

@AllenH9471936 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #15

Everything was excellent for the two weeks we were there. No complaints.

@KAE0kK4736C184 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #12

It's good place but my site doesn't have shadow

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.
