Quite camp ground, spaces are set up with room between each site, makes it feel more private. Nice area to walk and or ride a bike. We enjoyed a nice boat ride while we were there. My husband loves the fishing, many different areas to choose from. We camped with friends in three different sites, next to each other. It was nice to be able to go from one site to the other.. to play cards, bbq and sit by the camp fire.

Very clean park and site. Our site overlooks the river. And the park not far from the interstate.

Canal is by far our favorite COE camp ground. Will visit several times this summer.
@RandiN83A5FFD9 · Camped on Apr 9, 2026 at Campsite #74
This is a convenient location not far off of the interstate. The campsites are spacious with beautiful views and shade. The shower house had a nice setup (doors with dressing area), but needed cleaning. I visited at the end of the day, so that could have been the reason they weren't in the best shape. Unfortunately, there were controlled burns taking place, so we could not sit outside due to the smoke - not the campground's fault. I will definitely return if I'm in the area again.

The park offered well-maintained and tidy spaces, creating a pleasant atmosphere for visitors. While the showers were somewhat dated, they were kept clean and featured a thoughtful design. Our experience at the park was enjoyable, and we appreciated the serene environment it provided. However, one notable drawback was the presence of gas-powered golf carts, which frequently zipped around the area. The noise they generated was reminiscent of a typical Saturday at home, where neighbors simultaneously mow their lawns. It brought back memories of nights at the Shoney's drive-thru when muscle car enthusiasts would cruise round and round the parking lot. Most evenings, we found ourselves surrounded by the rumbling of these carts, often in groups of four or five, which detracted from the tranquility we sought while sitting outside. This constant interruption made it challenging to fully relax and enjoy the evening ambiance.

Beautiful campground and as always had a wonderful time. So grateful for the COE to provide this.

Canal is so amazing. We love camping there.
@RogerH7061222 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #61
Everything was so neat and clean. All was quiet starting at 10. Fellow camper helped us back Into an awkward site. Your circular driveway has too much of a drop off all The way around to make backing in easy. Definitely recommend!!
@jefff8502208 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #112
Quiet , spacious site, is out of level front to back, so be prepared for that, very high water pressure so use regulator
@TonyE4521850 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #87
We try to stay at Canal Campground every year. It is a great place to camp. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the sites are well maintained. We will be back.
@CharlesE498863 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #67

Excellent
@MelissaS832578 · Camped on Mar 31, 2026 at Campsite #60
Great Campground, amazing hosts. clean and beautiful. Would definitely recommend!
@LaurelT7617307 · Camped on Mar 29, 2026 at Campsite #107
We switched last minute from Site 26 to 107 because it appeared that 26 wouldnt be long enough. We parked backwards so we were facing the woods instead of the parking lot. We liked our spot very much! The internal roads were in good shape, which doesnt happen often in parks. All the golf carts are a bit annoying but at least we were at the end of the road!
@VickiC3901260 · Camped on Mar 28, 2026 at Campsite #8
This site has a great view of the lake from the tent pad, picnic table and back of the parking pad. The only difficulty comes in trying to level the RV unit. We used 4 leveling blocks deep and the end facing the lake still registered as being low.
@DarrylD154F109 · Camped on Mar 27, 2026 at Campsite #113
Nice sites with plenty of room. Host and volunteers were friendly and helpful.
@ToddJ6925816 · Camped on Mar 27, 2026 at Campsite #26

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.
@Wondering - Oregon
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!!!
