Loved how secluded it was. Space was great. The only things we didnt like was there are a lot of ticks, lot of wasps, and quite a bit of spiders. When it rained it deff flooded in some areas. The bathrooom was a tad bit sketchy. Deff bring some light of some sort for this area. Minus those few things it was great. We enjoyed our time.We will deff be renting this site again.

Great time with family!! Stayed in slough creek, locust. Met some nice people. Their kids even visited us on a scavenger hunt!! It was pretty awesome!!

The hosts are exceptional! The fire pits were clean and the mowing was done while we were there!! Overhanging trees did need trimmed. Thank you!!

Overall, Southpoint campground is a great spot, nice and level for the trailers.The only drawback could possibly be the shower houses need some attention. They are looking pretty rundown and could be cleaner.The biggest problem is navigating the website for reservations. I feel like it could be refined just a little bit.

We had a nice level site with shade and a view of the lake. Only recommendation would be to ask for signage to site numbers. It would help to know which road to follow to get to our site number. Just going by the map wasn't helpful for me.

Restrooms need some deep cleaning! Im not sure they've been cleaned at all this year. Wasps nest are really bad around the dump station near the gate.
@BrandiKB2D3F14 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #G2
We enjoyed our stay, the only thing we didnt like was even with the gate closed and the sign that said road closed people kept opening the gate and coming in. But we love the location.

We had a great spot. Beautiful view of the lake and gorgeous sunrise's.

We have camped at Slough Creek many times, but the park was in better shape and looked more beautiful than I have ever seen it. It was mowed and trimmed, and it was a joy to be there. Keep up the good work!! I have seen it at times when we would remark how badly it needed to be mowed, which just contributes to the insect problem. We were very pleased this time. Please continue to keep this beautiful campground in good shape.

Clear signs for campground access and frequent patrolling of park attendants & park rangers (we asked for help with a wasp nest on the electric post and she was very helpful). Tree coverage is limited in the area, luckily this section had some coverage. Pros of this site: electricity, table, ample parking space, not a shared space/siteCons of this site: not as flat as would have liked, especially for tent and volleyball set up, poison ivy, distance from restroomsPlayground near the entrance is small but convenient if you have small children. Shelter access and benches available which were a plus. Bathrooms closest to site could use some upcoming, especially toilets. Wall hooks would be a great addition! Thank you for plenty of toilet paper. The other shower/restroom area had great parking space and mowed grass for walking access. On the womens side, 4/6 showers worked but not all drains so water was stagnant and traveled down to the restrooms. *facility phone number does not work

Great spot.
@NicoleC8D1D96D · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #B13
I always have a great stay! I choose this campground and this one only! I never stay anywhere else. The people who run the gate are awesome people. I just love love love to camp here!!

Power was out several times on one of the HOTTEST days there so we left early...
@DeborahR772108 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #W1
Very good shade at all times
@RogerB3749935 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #S27
Everything was really good. 50 AMP service would be nice.Thanks!
@TERESAS8098881 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #B31
The campground was spacious, with trees and near to the lake. It was easy to find and not crowded when we went. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone.
@AmyC3583814 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #S27
I love going here because I feel safe taking my grandkids. We go fishing, swimming and walks. Feed the fish at the marina.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #W83
The spot was horribly set up.
@RenaC26B64F37A · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #S62
Bathrooms are filthy. Showers need repair. Not one single toilet looks like it has been cleaned for years. Other than that - great location and view.
@ErickhaRC680F2 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #S37
I would like to know why there are community water spigots but you are able to use them. There are no handles.
@JerryT4749875 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #W18
Excellent weekend
@SarahC1505024 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #S70
The site was wonderful and level. Not all are that way so it is nice when you can find one that is. The mowing was done aftwr we got there which wasn't too big of a deal except there were spots that weren't done at all.
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on May 5, 2025 at Campsite #S79
the bathrooms could use a good clean
@LindseyP710116 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #W17
Amazing campground, clean bathrooms. Did not use showers. Easy, pleasant check-in. Long-latitude leads you to one left turn too late.
@GordonR9729507 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #C1
The Park Staff was helpful and the campsite and restrooms were clean. Thank you, COL(R) Gordon Richardson

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!!!
