We experienced a wonderful weekend at Canal. Site 61 is a perfect view of the lake and an easy to walk to. The Camp hosts were great and friendly. Canal is one of our favorite places to camp!

We have family in the area that have had a rough summer with health conditions, we were able to have them come and visit and relax by the lake that they love. Thank you so much for the beautiful, relaxing time at the lake!

Amazing campsite with amazing camp hosts! Sincerely will be back. I stopped for one night on a multi-day road trip - not an ounce of me wanted to leave the following morning without enjoying the beauty of this campsite more!

A beautiful campsite. We had a site on the water. There was shade, deer, heron and it was clean and quiet. Close to the things we wanted to see and got the best fresh seafood close by. Great staff as well. We would come again

Loved the very large private campsites
@RussellH235385 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #58
Loved the campground but the campsites need some attention. The sites do not have enough gravel. If there is rain most of the site is mud.
@WilliamF458474 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #69

@BryanP8227284 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #83
Very clean and quiet campground. A few of the sites are a little tuff to get into, if you have a big rig. Mine is 44 had site 83 and 94. Both sites were easy to back in. Both sites have beautiful view. 83 full shade. 94 gets evening sun on the front of your camper. Still 94 is a real good site.
@SandyM1478520 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #52
Bathrooms were spotless and roomy, campsite was large and had great shade. Wonderful experience.
@GeorgeB9630400 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #116
Always love to camp there.
@JerryR8700362 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #97
The picnic tables need to be redone and the sites need to be redone and need to be in concerete pavement,
@GlendaFDA8B23F · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #76
Roads need paved. Need rules about to much lighting. Bathrooms need new shower locks. Lighting should be limited from disturbing other campers. Rules on small kids without adult supervision needs attention.
@JamesJ5898180 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #92
Smooth Reservation/ Check-in . Beautiful site overlooking Barkley Lake & Dam. Only issue was sewage hookup was positioned to far to the front of the campsite where its not level.
@DelindaH95AB0F · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #33
Great place! We stayed there so we could MTB across the bridge to the Land Between Two Lakes loop. It was a great ride to/from campsite. Showers were hot and good pressure. Most definitely will stay again when in the area.

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!!!
