Just spent the night there while traveling through. Restrooms and showers were very clean and warm.

The camp sight was clean and had all the amenities needed for my camper. The host was very nice and would do a drive by check to see if we needed any assistance with anything. Very nice place will stay here again.

We enjoy coming here. I would like to see the campground stay open in Sept. it is the best time to camp. We love our camp hosts as they are out and about always visible, making sure everyone is clean and safe and watching over this park like their own home. This is unique to have folks like this. Real pleasure to come here.

My favorite camp grounds, very nice and clean, bath houses clean and easily accessible, nice boat ramp on site, the host were amazing! So friendly and hospitable, wondering if it will reopen this year. We were heart broken to hear that it might not be opening again. Hoping with all our hearts we will get to camp there this year. We spent the biggest part of our summer there last year.

We had a fantastic family and friends camping trip we all went and took a tour of the cave and bike trail put our kayaks in at the boat ramp and took a stroll down the no-wake area and swam the young adults took a stroll out to some cliffs and took a jumpI love the convenience of the clean bathhouses and fairly newly added single stall bathrooms. The park was kept clean and quiet. This is one of our favorite camp grounds to camp at.

We love this campground. In the main camping area, every camper enjoys a beautiful view. It was well kept. Clean bathrooms and hosts are very friendly.

The sites were wooded and decent size. The road is tight but that's to be expected in campgrounds that are wooded. The staff was great, very clean. Nice views of the lake and fishing docks too. My only complaint would be how hot the shower rooms are. They don't necessarily need ac but they need some airflow at least. Other than that great campgrounds.

This campground is one of the nicest areas we've stayed. The Park Attendants were very helpful and pleasant to talk to. The Club Car they used was a very nice amenity. We stayed at Site #13. Lots of shade, and easy access to the boat ramp. You do have to walk up the hill to get from the ramp to your site, though. Our site was shaded, water and electricity for 30- and 50-amp service was available. Parking out pop-up was easy, getting into and out of the site location. Directions to Cave Creek are posted along the route. Closer to the boat ramp, there is playground equipment and benches to site, enjoy the environment, and watch your kids play on the equipment. The campsite is built on a hillside, overlooking Rough River Lake. We are looking to book here again, probably close to the boat ramp, which means closer to the watch, to watch the sun come up and go down. We would recommend this campground to others. Really nice place to stay.

My campsite was level. I didnt have to do any leveling of my camper, which was very nice and we had a great view of the water.Everything was clean and nice. I was very pleased. It was my first time staying there. I had a little trouble finding the dump station at the end, but there it was.
@CharlotteB2B96 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #36

We really enjoyed our stay. We had a ball watching people put in and take their boats out at the dock. The campground attendants Cheryl and Barry were totally awesome and always ready to help.

This campground offers 88 acres of camping, hiking and also a really cool Cave (not a guided tour, go at your own risk). Amazing place to kick back.

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.
