We have stayed at this campground before its always pleasant and clean. All the sites are well spaced and we even had a shade tree in the 95 heat.

@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #W39
Campsites are spacious and not bunched together. Bathrooms are very clean and offer individual rooms, each with their own shower. The campground offers immediate access to outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, and cycling.

Great place to camp. Our campsite had plenty of room and easy to get into. The shower house was always clean and convenient. Wonderful and friendly staff.

We stay here every year. Quiet, well kept, nice hot showers. We always get a site where we can see the beavers!
@MaryF8191441 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #W71
The campground was mostly quiet and the facilities were very clean
@TerryM5038212 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #W82
Very disappointed that the previous camper on our site was still there past the check out time when we arrived. The campground host didn't seem too concerned. The host suggested we pick another site. No, do your job by enforcing checkout times.
@CHADL3739408 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #W25
Clean site with excellent playgrounds, a beach, and close to the fossil gorge for exploration.
@MarkL5886645 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #W69
Campground water is brown even after my water filter. Hope its safe. They dont have a good filter evidently.

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!!!
