Very clean and well-maintained campground. Curt, the host we interacted with, was excellent. Great asset to a nice campground. He excels at customer service. Very clean bathrooms and showers.

We love this campground! The sites are well kept and they have the cleanest shower/restrooms we have ever experienced. They have plenty of play space for children and a great beach. We will definitely visit again!

Gull Lake used to be one of our favorite RV parks. This last year Minnesota decided to build a loud, busy road right next to the campground. Traffic starts early in the morning and persists into the evening. I think that says enough for most people. Such a shame.

Lovely site and park. Helpful and friendly staff. Very clean facilities. I know I'll be back for another camping trip.

Great swimming area! Sites were large and separated from each other by vegetation so you didnt feel like you were camping with your neighbors!

Nice, clean site.

The campground was clean and the sites are so wonderful!
@LaurieWMFA1618 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #10
Our visit was colored by the very hot weather. We have had wonderful camping experiences there but this was not one. A busy road sends road noise into the park now. The mens shower facilities were partially clogged which was a bit of a problem. But again, other visits have been much better.
@MackenzieE242B · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #39
Clean and very family friendly!

The campground was great, taken care of and very nice overall. Bathrooms were very clean! We didnt love the emergency light right outside of our site 14 that stayed on all night, was shining right in our eyes while we sat outside at night. It was also terribly buggy compared to other campgrounds weve stayed at. Overall we had a great time being so close to Gull Lake and many fun restaurants. We will be back!
@PamP4615940 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #24
Large, shaded lots with fire pit and picnic tables. Level gravel. Super clean grounds, vault toilets and shower house. Friendly staff. Other than the mosquitoes we have no complaints. We are going back next year for a week.
@GeraldT2329821 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #11
Too many mosquitoes!

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!!!
