Bathrooms were spotless and roomy, campsite was large and had great shade. Wonderful experience.

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.

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.

We always enjoy Land Between the Lakes.

Nice and peaceful campground. We always enjoy our time there. Only negative thing is that the roads need some work.

Camp site was near the Canal so the view was great and campground was clean. Site #113 is a pull through and does not require much to get camper level. Lots of things close by.

Wonderful campground!
@GregS1457823 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #40
Nice campground but the sites and roads could definitely use some work. Half the picnic tables and smaller tables are rotten. Limbs hanging out in roads hitting campers. Roads are in dire need of repair. Money made there is not going back into campground to improve sites or roads.

@ToddJ6925816 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #111
Site 111 and 112 have zero shade. All the rest are some shade. Canal loop has the least.

@KatieW2426253 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #96
Main dock top rails are broken and creating serious risk to person and boat.

nice campground
@duked1F9F6AC0C · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #114
I always enjoy my trips to COE campgrounds; however, most concerns were due to campers. The mens restrooms had mud tracked into them. I watched another camper take his tote to dump station without a hose and just dump his black water into the trough. Couldnt believe it. Does someone have to be told to use a HOSE!
@LeonardR304713 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #92
Beautiful campground! Staff very friendly! Sites well maintained! Would highly recommend!! Will return for future visits.

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!!!
