The park was beautiful and sites very clean and level. Online check-in/res was very easy to use.

Clean, quiet campsite with hookups. Well-maintained bathroom. Convenient to I5.

Maybe the time of year, but there was no host and some questionable unattended tents. The sight we reserved was too small to stay connected with RV; more information on the website would have helped. Moved to a larger site but no utility hookups.

Campground is part of a local park on River, so there is vehicle traffic, including boat launches. I wouldnt stay here on weekend nights. But, for a 1 night stop it was ok. Bathrooms werent that great; need quarters. There are camp hosts. There looked to be permanent campers closest to riverSome sites have electric and others dont; generator noise was loud.Its a great locals park for walking dogs, viewing birds on trails. Some locals let their dogs off leash, which of course isnt allowed. Theres always people who feel entitled to break the regulations ruining it for those who choose to peacefully cohabitate.

Perhaps it was the slow day, but we very much enjoyed the quiet of the park. This was our last day of the 3-day return trip and it was just what was needed. Clean restrooms.

Sycamore Grove campground is a favorite place to stop for the night on my drive between Oregon and San Diego. Quick and easy access from I-5, but far enough so that traffic noise is not an issue. The hosts do a great job of maintaining the campground.

We. Booked a spot but it did not have the reserve tag on it. Could have been a problem if someone set up there.

The camping experience was great. It's a beautiful site and great escape from the snow. The restrooms were clean.

A surprisingly lovely peaceful park not far from the interstate. I have enjoyed staying here on my journeys through.

A nice campground located next to the river with plenty of long walking trails. T mobile came in well. Did not use the bathrooms so no comment. Looks to have about half the sites with partial hookups and we did not see a dump station. We stayed 2 nights and would stay again.

Condition of the facility seems dependent on quality of the host. Stayed many times over the years. Good one night layover, but not always clean and occasionally seems to have a problem with the homeless population.

Great place to stop overnight while traveling or to spend a week. Walking trails, the river and clean showers. What else is there?

Going there always feels like going home. Between the beautiful grounds and atmosphere, always kept extremely clean and manicured, to its wonderful hosts in space #13 it will always be a favorite go-to. I recommend it to everyone. Simply wonderful!

We live near red bluff and we go there to camp in the evenings to get away about twice a month it's an easy getaway for us. . The camp host reported us to the forest ranger for staying too many times in a year. We are barely over the limit and these rules are set up to keep homeless people from staying in the park.It was pathetic embarrassing and uncalled for the park is never full we are paying customers and should not be treated like this. I see drug addicts and actual homeless people staying at the park. I see homeless campers on the road too the park and they choose to harass us instead of the drug addicts and actual homeless people. The camp hosts are also feeding all the stray cats there and adding to the feral cat population.

Bathrooms were pretty awful. Needs some maintenance to make the hot vs cold water work properly. Would also be nice if they were cleaned more often. I found long little worms crawling around in the men's room. Wife found frogs hanging out in the women's

Everything worked out great except for the (presumed) camp host who decided to shine his flashlight directly into our campsite for several minutes after our arrival. We arrived late in the evening without a reservation, took some time to set up camp and then used the online app to pay for the site. Not sure what his beef was, but it was rude.

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!!!
