This is the cleanest, most beautiful and well maintained COE campground we have ever camped at! 10 out of 10!! Can't believe we had never camped here before! We will definitely be camping here again in the future! A hidden gem for sure!

Like virtually every COE camp we have visited, place is well maintained. Easy checkin, and communication for entering secure park. Keep up the good work.

really nice ! Wildlife (deer) were really fun to watch. Great place for family time! Just a side note if you could spray for ticks that would be something I would suggest.

Older campground used to be kept up. Showers in bad shape. Fire rings not cleaned. Grass not mowed timely.

Men's washrooms are terrible design. 2 urinals, 1 toilet, and those terrible timed water with laser beam shower heads. The washrooms are fairly new, clean, and over all nice, BUT WHY? They could have been great.

First time in the annex and happy to see all the tree growth!Only complaint is more attention to speed of vehicle needs to be made! Most cars going way to fast through campground!!!
@JessicaC246083 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #82
Love this campground!
@PauletteG41884 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #112
I love this place at this time of the year not just for great spring fishing but because it is SPRING! The facility did have an electrical outage for a few hours but the team totally rocked replacing a new transformer the 'same day'. As feedback to the campground, I did leave my pups behind and it would have been nice to get a text message that electrical was out. When I returned the camper was warm and the pups were ok but it took several hours after that for power to return. Notification and communication is a MUST! First time we had idiot neighbors with a pup goldendoodle they strung to a tree and walked inside so it barked for hours. In summary: Love the place, communication with park & campers during the stay is key and no need to ding the campground for campers not willing to abide by good dog manners (I had 3 dogs). Stayed in the annex near the end.

This was our first time and i loved the grounds very well keptWe had site 34 not the best choice for a 5th wheel camper and a 4 door truck but we got it in thereIf your a fisherman this is a must DO place
@RebeccaC264620 · Camped on Oct 27, 2025 at Campsite #28
The restrooms were always clean and everything worked as it should. The camp site was clean of debris and trash. The sites are private and well shaded.

I wish they would fix the bathroom door on the first stall in the women bathroom. Someone tried to fix it a long time ago but the locks were not alined so you can't lock the door. There was only one stall really good for use.

We always love going to Kendall. It is a beautiful campground. I do wish the hand dryer in the ladies secondary bathroom could be fixed and the door to the first bathroom stall in the ladies primary bathroom could be fixed.

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.
