Love this campground - will camp here everyday of the year if I could. I wish they would monitor speed more- people fly through like its a race track. Also wish they would not allow other people to have loud music after 8pm. Always someone who ruins it for wveyone

Beautiful campground in a great community setting. From the check-in process to the campsite to the facilities...all A+. We hope to be able to return soon.

We always enjoy our stay at the campground. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The campground itself is always clean. Our fellow campers are loving it their as much as we do and you can tell by how happy and friendly everyone is.

Great campground!!
@PattiB6900272 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #49
Since the campground is located on the Whitefish Chain, having a boat is strongly recommended. The lakes are beautiful. The town is nearby so very accessible by walking or biking.

We were walking on the dock and saw the sign for the International Loon Center's pontoon tour of the lake. We signed up for the next trip for Saturday morning. It was delightful! We saw several loons and their chicks! The campsite was lovely amidst the tall pines. And so close to the town of Cross Lake! The Pine Tree gift shop and restaurant were just great as was the Lake Country Cones and gift shop. Highly recommend this campground. We tried fishing below the dam but didn't catch anything.

Gorgeous campground. We loved the bike trails and easy access to restaurants, bars, and groceries.

Great stay. The threat of damage by storms was a few times.Dead trees falling was the issue. Need to be removed.
@harleno83F4776 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #121
We really enjoyed our stay at Cross Lake Rec. The grounds were very well kept and the sites were very private and large. The boat launch and docks were great also. It is very easy to take in the town or just sit back and chill. We are looking at coming back next year for a longer stay.
@DanielB4603573 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #86
Full hookups would make this an awesome campground.

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.
