The Hosts were amazing! The site was very clean as were the restrooms. My family and I really enjoyed our time.

Great campground next to a roaring river. Restrooms were so clean compared to other places weve stayed. Some campsites have great shade and trees, others are exposed and really lacking.

Love this campground. Sites are well maintained, bathrooms are clean. Accommodations for everything from small tents to long RVs and trailers.
@ErnestC464B950 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #127
Clean toilets. And the camp host was very helpful

This is an excellent campground. Its amazingly beautiful. The sites are easy to use and well spaced out. There are, amazingly, flash toilets and running water, though bring your own soap and towel.

Our favorite campground in Inyo. Always clean and in a perfect location. Close to Rock Creek Lake and Little Lakes Valley, which are two of our favorite locations. Weve had interactions with black bears, but nothing that has ever made us feel unsafe. Keep your food and anything with scent in the bear box, and all will be good. We usually camp here a couple of times a season.

Great camp site, lots of trails.

While East Fork CG is always nice, this year there must be a shortage of staff. 1/2 of the bathrooms were locked off which made for serious wait times in a full campground. I've heard all parks are shutting down bathrooms, making it difficult for visitors. Also, for 1st time, there is a new "lodging tax" added to a campsite reservation??? Charge more and cut services. WTH?

We loved this campground. Our site (24) had a beautiful view of the mountains as it sat up high. The only bad thing is we had no shade so we were hot during part of the day. Also the lights in the bathrooms did not work.
@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #32
I selected the campground by reason of its location on the East Fork creek and near the lake. It has a lot of camp sites but also al lot of trees for separation. It has lots of water spigots and well located bathrooms. I say bathrooms as they have flush. Toilets and a sink, unusual for a National Forest campground. It was hot and our site, I selected blind online, had willow trees but no pine trees and therefore, not enough shade during the day. The best part of this campground was the Camphosts. They really worked hard everyday cleaning not only the restrooms but the vacated campsites as well. Probably the best camp hosts I have ever seen and I told them so. I highly recommend this campground. And we caught trouncing on the creek not far from our campsite.

Great location for exploring Mosquito Flats and Rock Creek Lake. Would not recommend #125 due to exposure and closeness with neighbors. Beautiful river access and path walking path. Flush toilets and sink a plus.

The campground was clean, and the hosts were friendly and helpful.
@EdwardB9523394 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #23
Site 23 is lousy - other sites looked much better. Our site was such that the picnic table and bear box and place for tent was down a steep hill from the parking area. We squished the tent onto the parking pad to avoid that (and there was a large group near that downhill spot where tent was 'supposed' to go). Flush toilets were clean.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #3
Bathroom was clean and scenery was nice. But the roads in the campground were in bad shape with lots of potholes. Our Site 3 was pretty sloped, more than my leveling blocks could compensate for.
@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #51
The campground hosts were phenomenal! These were the best campground hosts I have ever encountered. Our campsite was just ok.
@SvetlanaS323C2 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #35
Great restroom, quiet place, no phone service
@MarkL5886645 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #53
The campground was extremely clean and well taken care of. The restrooms were plentiful, scattered throughout the campsite. The ones we saw/used were single user restrooms with flushing toilets and running water. We went on July 4th weekend and all of the fellow campers were very respectful. We barely noticed anyone was nearby as many of the campsites were very secluded. We had a campsite mix-up when we arrived and the campsite host immediately corrected the issue offering us another campsite for the duration of our trip - which we actually liked better! I would gladly come back in a heartbeat - as it is easy access to one of the most magical valleys in the Sierras. But do note that it is high elevation and were a little caught off-guard by how cold it go once the sun had set.

Well taken care of and beautiful campground.
@johnc3063297 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #125
Beautiful location. Great bathrooms that are clean and flush. Friendly campground hosts. Right on the water for kids to fish. Only wish there were more level sites to pitch a tent.
@CHRISTOPH55817 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #123
Amazing campground in the summer. If it's 100 down at the desert floor it'll be 65 up there, water is crystal clear lots and lots of fishing to be had. But there's also a lot of other fishermen there too. So the fish are pretty scared and don't really bite, if you fish early morning or in the evening or before the sun goes down, you'll probably get some bites, tons of mosquitoes bring bug spray, lots of spots that are totally exposed to the Sun and some that aren't do your research before reserving a spot
@RichardV612311 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #115
The campground was great, had plenty of room and the cleanest bathrooms ive seen at a campground so far. Only talked for a little bit but the camp manager seemed super helpful and cares a lot about the place. Would definitely stay here again
@DinahLA6EC9592 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #123
Awesome campground with very clean restrooms and helpful campsite manager! We enjoyed a nice hike with our dog, next to the creek then to the lake. Many options for campsites depending on your liking (shade, exposed, next to the creek, etc). The roads within the camp could use some upkeep if there's funding. This is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit.
@CathyVA96113E4 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #21
Beautiful location!
@LoriC1301913 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #102
Beautiful campground. Kind hosts. Trees, creeks, peacefulness.

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!!!
