Always a good time, except for the broken handle on the restroom.

Yes North and not in the park but easy to get to. No difference in the rest of the parks experience.

Cool spot. Clean, and plenty of rocks to climb nearby.

Great campsite!

My partner and I stayed at site #49 for one night on a whim (we were in Redlands for a wedding) and it was so lovely: the campfire reflecting off the rocks around us, the tent sheltered from the wind, the stars above.... Definitely coming back.

Road is rather bumpy but loved the whole place.
@StevenC2003509 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #23
Very nice campsite child loved rock climbing close to town and markets.
@SaraS5412351 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #10
Awesome camp site, spacious with a great view of 29 palms in the distance. Bathrooms were super clean, lots of toilet paper. Quiet and relaxing the entire time. Can't wait to go back.
@UdoB57AC43EAF8 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #46
Nice Place and easy to reach
@DanielP5943638 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #21
Beautiful place but nearby hikes are lacking. Maybe it was due to the shutdown but the place seemed a little lawless. We never saw a host or Ranger or anyone else in 2 nights. Thursday was fine but don't go Friday nights if you like sleep, there was multiple sites blasting EDM until 1 am and no one to enforce quiet time.....

Stunning and magical campground. Easy to find and well spaced out so you have a fair amount of privacy. The location is amazing and I was in awe of the boulders and the tranquillity.
@GaryJ4132252 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #25
Was notified campground was closed. Waiting for refund I was told to expect.
@PeterF7272337 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #78
Great campground. Clean and well-maintained.
@BenjaminW44188 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #27
The campground was very nice! Pretty easy to get but the rest of the park but it is a bit of a drive. The site is very small but we were able to make our 8ft by 8ft tent work. The two only downside is the toilets, if the wind blows in the right direction thats the only thing you smell and the lack of water. But overall great!
@TammyF42004D03 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #51
Campsite was beautiful and very clean. The restrooms were kept very clean and trash was taken out daily. The engire setting and experience was great.
@PatriciaT51824 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #52
Beautiful campground! Magical evenings & mornings. The Nature Loop Trail had many birds & was a great early morning destination.
@michaely600529 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #101
Pretty great spot and I wasn't crowded at all, a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the campground tho..
@MichaelV771806 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #37
There was rain the day before which caused good amount of mosquitos and family was bit pretty bad
@SheldonC14776B · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #22
Quiet awesome place!
@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #39
Great campsite! Exiting to experience a rainstorm in the desert. Really nice to be there off season. Had the place to ourselves, pretty much. So few folks there it was kinda creepy the first night. We took our tent down while we were gone for the day. A lot of wind during the storm and can not stake down in the hard pack, unable to find large rocks. We were able to use ropes to tie off on the table and firepit. Bring rope!! Loved being amongst the rocks. So great to wake up early pre-dawn and watch the light emerge on the rocks. Easy access to nearby stores and towns from this location.
@PatrickT198236 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #59
Site 59. Excellent afternoon shade in a protected cove. Restroom nearby but not so close that you catch a whiff. Set up a 4 person tent with plenty of room.
@GregW2511215 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #12
Great campsite
@KarenC7594177 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #42
This camp site driveway is not flat in all places and backing in at night was difficult to get to the one area that was flat. Otherwise beautiful and quiet. Some cars/lights on nearby main road. Too hot to hike. (Mid September)

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.
