Really like campsite #52 at Whitebreast. Bathhouse is great with both hooks & bench. Very muggy tho with poor ventilation. Fans were going which helped some.

Campsites were large and not crowded at all, everything seemed to be very well maintained and the swim beach was very enjoyable

This is a nice campground, however some of the sites are very muddy. Also, the area where you park your camper needs to be leveled out. Some are pretty bad. With that said the bathrooms/shower houses are spectacular.

Fun time and wonderful camping. Park Ranger was quick to respond to our sight when we did have n issue.

This spot had a nice big area for our kids to play in but hardly any shade. A little trek up the hill to use the bathroom/showers. Neighbors were loud until midnight one of the nights but the people were nice and the campground was clean. Bathrooms are okay; old and smell of really strong cleaner.

Very nice, quiet, family friendly campground. Large, level camp sites. Hiking trail, fishing, boating, kids on bikes, and camp fires. We plan to camp at Whitebreast in the future!
@LydiaP842AAA4E · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #79
Our first camping experience at whitebrest, and we loved it. I had originally reserved #79 it looked nice and shady, upon arrival I realized it was not enough shade and not flat enough for our tent. Luckily #77 across the road was open, and not reserved online. I thought I had changed reservation site numbers online, but when checking in at the host stand Sara told me the change hadnt gone through but she would make sure the proper changes were made. I could not thank her enough! Sara was so happily accommodating to the change, (Ive been to a few places that are not as friendly and jovial) highly recommend camping here!! Thank you again Sara!!

We went June 6-8 and we had a blast! The campsite was well cared for, bathrooms were clean and the ranger and volunteers were great! We took the kids to the beach, which was nice! we went fishing and caught catfish. We loved it so much, we reserved it Sunday the 8th before we left for Fathers day weekend!

Very well kept campground. Quiet and peaceful getaway into nature
@SharminL6FAABD · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #75
I love camping at Whitebreast and have been doing so, along with my cousins, for years! The sites are well maintained and the staff have always been very helpful.
@DavidV5073563 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #39
There were some very rude campers in the area that didn't not respect quite hours. Were yelling and screaming on a microphone most of the afternoon and evening.
@MargaretWA1514 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #17
Every thing was great.
@JessicaR455769 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #104

@CarlaKD12865FE · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #97
The campsites are a nice distance apart from each other. The bathrooms were very clean.
@KareyM92F6830F · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #69
The campsites were roomy, it was quiet, and we had a nice view of Lake Red Rock. Restrooms and showers are very clean. Our camp hosts were helpful. There were several trails nearby for hiking, and our grandkids enjoyed the playground near the entrance of the campground. We also enjoyed the Visitor Center by the dam that had a lot of information about the history of the area. We would camp here again.

We really enjoy white breast campground in the spring. Last year there were over 100 Blue Jays all round our camper. We saw several Blue Jays this year, along with many other birds. The host was very helpful. I had a low tire on my trailer, and he help me fill it.

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!!!
