It was very nice except for the rain which you cannot control. Misquitos always seem to like me. Bring a boat, fishing is always good.

Really loved this campground. Overall a really nice, clean and well maintained campground. The rangers were so nice and helpful when we needed their help. The host was great too. The only issues we had was the public water spigot closest to our site was being used by several campers, dragging 200ft hoses and using it as a full water hookup. Made getting water difficult. Also the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner, but it was a very busy holiday weekend. But overall a wonderful campground.

Great location for fishing, canoeing, kayaking. Well spaced sites, very wooded.
@LindseyT6CC9A9 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #4
The campground overall was ok. The showers werent super great, but they worked. There is a nice playground nearby, but it is open to the public, not just campers, so we dealt with a lot of people hanging out smoking and drinking while trying to let our kids get out some energy. The play area further away was a rinky dunk little place that wouldnt have interested our kids.
@StevenK2938052 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #24
It was a very relaxing time. The neighbors were very nice. Most of the time we needed to be the ones to start the conversation but after waving and saying hi many were very friendly. The grounds were very well maintained, and the park staff were very friendly once they understood that you wanted to be friendly.
@BruceB5637806 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #49
Love camping here. The campsites are big and spaced apart. Bathroom facilities are also very nice.

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!!!
