We had site A017, and it shouldn't have been a site. It was very washed out, to the point that we couldn't level the trailer or put chairs around the fire pit. We left after one night to find something workable. As we walked around the camp, it looked as though other sites were very nice, this particular site needs to be removed from service.

Great view and very friendly. Would recommend for anyone wanting to get out and enjoy a great lake.

We love camping at Farnum Creek Campground. The large shaded lots with plenty of parking is what we like about it. Easy access to the boat ramp, the dumpster is right on the way and the park is kept clean.

Camp site is very uneven
@StevenC2003509 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #A44
The camp grounds were well maintained. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. The restrooms were clean. Most of the sites had a lot of shade. However, the pads themselves were not level. We were unable to get our pull behind trailer completely level as one side was much lower than the other. There are no trash bins or showers at the site. They are both located closer to the front gate, maybe a forth of a mile away. Short distance to drive but who wants to get in the car and drive every time you need to dump your trash. There is also no beach/swimming access anywhere close. Even with these inconveniences listed, I will still go back. I will just be more prepared.

Bathrooms and shower house are showing their age. Neighbors ran their generator all night long. Park rangers told them to shut it off but never came back to check if they did. Parking spot was decently level.

The volunteer park coordinator was awesome we couldn't figure out what area we were in to pay found out we were in the overflow area he helped us pay and gave us advice on the area
@DouglasF277421 · Camped on May 14, 2025 at Campsite #A4
Nice area to camp. If youre looking to leave a boat in the water this area is very limited. But, it is close to the boat ramp.
@KarenZF46F35C1 · Camped on May 10, 2025 at Campsite #A3
Check in at the campground at 6 pm is too late . We arrived early in the day and had to wait till late afternoon till the current camper left the spot.
@juliew9220173 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #A4
We just come down to relax and fish. Nice place.
@KentDD96ADC553 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #A7
Water line had been dug up and was very unlevel and muddy right in the middle of all activities.
@Christina16941 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #A5
The grass could be mowed more often. We have had to bring our own mower out many times this summer to keep the grass at a normal length.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #A16
staff was friendly and helpful, bathrooms were clean but are showing their age, however the grass needed mowing and most of the pads need more gravel and leveling
@CiaraW19FC642C · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #A37
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the campground, shower house and restrooms. The campground hosts were pleasant to deal with and keep the campsites well maintained.
@StephenB287309 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #A5

@ShaneP723074F4 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #B14
Had 2 sites reserved. Was told after we got there we couldnt have 2 site without a tent on each site. Couldnt cancel myself because it was the day we were there. Only used one site and never got refunded for a site we couldnt use. And we were the only campers on loop B the whole time we were there. The whole loop B needed to be mowed. Was not fun sitting by the water fishing when the grass was over your ankles.
@JanetJ662FC696 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #A45
Nice campground. Sight was easy to back into, clean restrooms, nice view.
@JasonH5601399 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #A7
Beautiful
@ShirleyB588545 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #A36
It would help if the camp sites were more level and had more rock base to them.
@EvaG8725415 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #A25
Everything was great but a suggestion, if you wait to mow when the grass is really tall you might bag it or at least go over it again. It was kind of annoying when playing games. Other than that we had a great time & will be back.
@CharlesS661433 · Camped on May 1, 2024 at Campsite #A2
With removal of fish cleaning station - we will find another camp ground. Also, dead tree removal seems to be a never ending problem.
@ShirleyB588545 · Camped on Apr 15, 2024 at Campsite #A5
We enjoyed our stay at Farnum Creek. The only exception was the weather which you have no control over.
@CharlesG874789 · Camped on Sep 29, 2023 at Campsite #A4
Took me about four hours to reserve a site . Camp ground and host were great just the dumbbells I talked to were idiots. Also the camp closed 1st of Oct not

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!!!
