We stayed at Site B31, which had lots of room to spread outThe campers were kind and respectful; the bathrooms were clean

@AndrV71870AA89 · Camped on Dec 3, 2025 at Campsite #B31

Campground has excellent restrooms, good space for tents and easy access.

@BeverlyO139AB1 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #B13

The campground is beautiful. Only issue is that they allow people to run their generators all day long. The noise two sites up was horrible for 12 hours straight. Ridiculous

The national parks are WONDERFUL. A few small suggestions ... please indicate places where water is available to drink as well as wash more prominently. have more toilets (particularly useful for older visitors). Given the constraints the NPS works under you are doing a superb job.

@AndrewG6411791 · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #A2

Excellent campground! The bathrooms are clean and easily accessible, the sites are spacious and close to wildlife and hikes, and the visitor center employees were friendly and helpful.

@Elizabeth38460 · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #A6

Beautiful view of the night sky. This campground has water! No firewood for sale on site so pack it in. Nicely close to the visitor center and good hiking. It's really nice to be in a quieter area of the park!

@alexb6244786 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #B3

Tent only campsite was laid out in a way that made it awkward to set up camp. Real bathrooms were excellent. The campsites were very close together for a desert campground.

@ChiyoungY92744 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #B14

Very Good!

@LMaynard724390 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #A11

Quiet, clean, all around great campground

@EdwardW7454945 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #B4

The website for making Reservations is a bit wonky. Navigation through the site is not user-friendly. Make it easier.

@LauraD1350391 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #B23

Beautiful, peaceful campground.

@AyeletS7E9C7B8 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #B31

At first, they assigned us to a site that wasnt big enough for us, even though we specified the size when registering.In the end, we just moved to another spot and it was great.

@MarkF9408903 · Camped on Nov 10, 2025 at Campsite #A15

Nice and quiet. Great hike to the mine

@lauriet9567243 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #A23

Great campground but further away from most hikes.

@JuanL6863743 · Camped on Nov 7, 2025 at Campsite #A23

Only spent one night at the campsite and it was a perfect location, close enough to the restroom and well taken care of camp ground.

@PaulM4542921 · Camped on Nov 5, 2025 at Campsite #B28

I loved the dark skys and the proximity to Lost Palms Oasis. Located within a 10 minute drive from a gas station where you can buy wood, water, and other supplies. However, the campground was noisy at night and morning with the weekend warriors arriving on Friday. Not a great place to stay if you want peace and solitude in the evening.

@TammyC6063506 · Camped on Nov 1, 2025 at Campsite #B18

We were in loop B @ 18B- the fire pit is to close to bushes thought this was a hazard, really close to neighboring tents, no lights in the womens restroom, and the noise levels were very high. Kids running and screaming. We stayed on a Saturday night. It did make it so we could stay in the southern part of the park though.

@MarisolPB57BEA · Camped on Nov 1, 2025 at Campsite #B24

My family and I loved this site, close to the restrooms, but not close enough where you would be able to smell any odors or hear people go in and out. Two small cars fit confortably.

@RobE5432BA9315 · Camped on Oct 31, 2025 at Campsite #B23

Quiet , great people around, views. VERY comfortable

@AmyB6929249 · Camped on Oct 28, 2025 at Campsite #A11

End of October is a wonderful time to visit the park. the campground is very clean, spaces are spread out, you are not on top of other campers. nice hike just outside the campground. I highly recommend this campground.

@StephenM951052 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #B6

The campsites were good, bathrooms clean. Only complaint is that it appears locals use this as a party campground. Loud talking and laughter till 2AM with campsites fairly close. Not just 1 or 2 campers but many. Might be better during weekdays? The sunsets and sunrises and scenery in general are great. Star viewing also great.

@RubenGF8CFD851 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #B19

Great area with clean bathrooms

@SajjadAAC3D23F · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #A4

Clean and flat campground which provides a great spot for stargazing. Very close to city if you stay multiple days and might need to do shopping. While more inside the park campgrounds are more scenery either close to Joshua trees or big rocks but they mostly dont have flashed toilets like here.

@ClaireTEF3A05D · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #A29

Wonderful campsite with great trails nearby. Not as crowded as the campgrounds in the northern part of the park. A bit of a drive to get to other areas, but overall beautiful and would definitely stay again.

@AntoninP1A0671 · Camped on Oct 21, 2025 at Campsite #A19

Nice and quiet campground, with a nice trailhead. Access to water and dump station make it perfect for camper vans !Toilets were clean.

@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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
