Lots of trees, lots of shade as well. Loved it, also plenty of privacy. We will definitely go back.

Site was clean albeit mostly empty which left for great quiet nights. Close to plenty of hiking trails and Santa Barbara.

Very well maintained campground. Camp hostess and host were very nice and helpful with any questions our group had. Clean bathrooms and plenty of space in between campsites.

Wonderful campground and location, our site was spacious with a tent area and the fire pit/bbq/table across a dry creek bed from the tent area.Only complaint was fly bags STANK, but they were catching flys so I shouldnt complain

Love this campsite. Large and far enough away from other campsites so not felt crowded. Gorgeous oak trees. Only real downside was the prevalence of poisonous oak

My favorite campground in the Santa Barbara area. Walking distance to White Rock which has a nice little watering hole and rocky beach. Plus red rock is just a few miles up the road. Weekends are busy but there are many campsites that offer seclusion. Lots of trees too which provide shade from the hot summer sun. Facilities are kept clean. Water spigots close to each site. Friendly camp hosts. 20 minutes from SB. Dog friendly. Just watch out for poison oak which surrounds some of the campsites. I prefer the sites towards the back of the campground. Less people and cars driving through.

Good view and privacy, close to potable water and restroom. Restrooms looks new and remodeled. Only thing is there are group of huge ants on ground.

My girlfriend and I recently did a 1 night stay here. I booked it before through the Recreation app it received really good reviews. We both the campsite was boring, lacked good scenery, bathrooms were dirty and the parking spots are TINY. My Chevy Colorado barely fit in the parking spot. We had spot #11 and the fire pit/BBQ/bench is about 50 feet away on a semi steep rocky hill. The campsite also didn't allow us to use the fire pit or BBQ grill. The site also had a pretty bad fly problem too. I'm glad we only stayed 1 night. Probably won't return any time soon.

Wild Turkeys!
My family and I really enjoyed the grounds and of course the frequent visit from the wild turkeys. Everyone was realatively quiet at night for the most part other than a couple of sites. Some people don't realize how loud they are in the dead of night or just casually talking to on the way to the restroom. We would definitely come again!

We had a great camping experience here! The campground was great and the staff were very friendly. There are no showers available but there are bathrooms that seemed well kept. Had some of the best sleep yet here!

A beautiful chance to relax beneath some old, graceful oak trees.

Sites are spread out, excellent shade for the warmer days. Camp host were excellent and attentive. The restrooms were always clean and well kept. Campground noise was not an issue, all were respectful during out stay.

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.
