This campground is beautiful and well-maintained. The sights are large and peaceful. We only live about 45-minutes away and will be making this our local campground for our little getaways.

The sites were great and the campground was clean. Family and friends had fun. The only issue we had was loud base music being played or cars revving well into the early morning. The grounds keepers asked our group to quiet down 2 minutes after their "quiet time" was initiated and threatened to report us if we didn't, even though each night consisted of loud music and cars.

Nice campground. Well designed with good spacing between sites. The showers and restroom were adequate. I think they could use some more ventilation to keep moisture in the building down to inhibit mold growth.

Cleanest Campgrounds ever experienced.. Shower/Bathroom facilities were very clean. Easy checking and access to campsites. Peace and quite.... We will definitely make reservations for next year and stay longer....

What a great campground - we especially enjoyed playing horseshoes - it was great that the shoes were available for use and return by the campground

We camp here every year and the facilities are great and the camp hosts and park rangers are all excellent!
@GeorgeA8786885 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #5
We lucked out and got one of the few FHU campsites on short notice. Beautiful campground. Close enough to visit the lake cities of Walker and Bemidji and the Mississippi headwaters, all of which we did in a one day circle roadtrip.
@DavidK6336379 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #17

@GlendaR698A172 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #60
A very nice, safe place to stay. Well kept
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #8
Facilities were excellent. Service was exceptional. Been out on the west coast for 30 years and forgot how important a good bug spray to protect from those nasty mosquito and deer fly populations are. Really appreciated the laundry room - that was clean, neat and easy to operate machines. A wonderful stay.

This was our 13th consecutive annual trip to Leech Lake...doesn't get any better than here!

@MikeD2668364 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #11
This was a lovely campground. Very quiet and enjoyable with plenty of space. Be prepared for a ton of mosquitoes. Bathrooms were excellent. Camp host was very helpful.

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!!!
