This site is a big corner site with extra space to park, shady, with a convenient table and fire pit locations. Close to a bathhouse.

Campgrounds was clean restrooms where spotless we stay at site #98 there was a small problem with "Electrical wiring issue in the 30 amp park Electrical panel post was Torch by a short before we arrive and over labor day weekend it was difficult to keep electricity running at the post main electrical panel box. We notify the campground Host on site # 58 about issues in the breaker panel they stated because holiday weekend they will try to get someone out after the holidays.

Very nice campground. Quiet and friendly staff. Restrooms clean. I stay here several times a year and have never had a bad experience.

Always good camping at Holmes Bend. I wish they would consider putting in sewer sites. One problem we have experienced the last couple of times we have been there is the large number of skunks living in the main part of the campground. They need to be relocated to another location.

Nice and quiet. Just what we were looking for.
@DeborahG36637F · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #27
We really enjoyed here and loved all the shaded sites! Only thing that would make it a perfect stay is to have sewer at all trailer sites
@DanielC8838163 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #111
Good place to camp. Too many people riding around on golf carts.
@ScottJ5D162496 · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #36
Great stay as always

Nice campsite. Was surprised that the day pass is not free for marina parking--campsite hang tag did not exempt my vehicle from getting a notice on the windshield that I owe $5. Would like to see an on-site store. Walking to marina is not pedestrian -friendly in my opinion.
@TerryS6065626 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #52
So we was in site 52 for 4 days , Beautiful campground, Host were very friendly! My 120v plug wasnt working when I arrived, I had to use power from my friends site 55, I told camp host my issue, the gfi plug was tripped and wouldnt reset , they come and put a new gfi plug in , but didnt plug back up my camper! When we returned back my camper was 91 degrees inside! I was very angry, I have a 13 year old yorkie in there which is our child, he was very hot. This was very upsetting to me. If something was to happen to my dog , Im not sure what I would have done , that was my only issue with staying there also the plug didnt work when they put new one in

Lovely campground, and the trail was beautiful. The camp host was very welcoming and helpful. We were there only one night, which happened to be Saturday, and it was very busy.
@LaurenSECAD0D6 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #102
We camp at Holmes bend every year! It is one of our favorite places!
@NatalieR612184 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #82
Loved spot 82 loop c. Very spacious and shady and the bathrooms was right behind us.
@TaylorS9260528 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #34
We had the best time staying at Holmes Bend for 5 nights! The volunteers that run the campground were so friendly and everyone around us was also! We had a great time and will definitely be back!
@ChrisW1509692 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #52
Site was spacious and level. Zero complaints!! Holmes Bend is one of the nicest COE campgrounds you will find!!
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #98
Beautiful Campground. Loved the campsites especially with the gravel and railroad ties to eliminate mud. The shower houses had quite a bit to be desired and could definitely use an update. Other than that a very good experience and would go back sometime.
@doristD9D744B2 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #42
Enjoyed every site I've been on of course I try get shady spots
@KathleenE93163 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #105
Very nice campground. Spacious, shaded sites, showers adequate but could use updating. Drawback-no on-site water hookups!
@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #34
There were so many cars, trucks, boats, trailers, golf carts!!! People everywhere. The ladies bathhouse closed. Lots of big groups getting together. If there are rules for number of people and vehicles at a campsite, they should be enforced.
@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #26
Campground was clean but needed to be mowed. We never saw any cleaning crews the week we were there. It would be helpful too if they would put in a Wi-Fi network for the campground.

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!!!
