We stayed in the D loop at site D37. All of the sites in the D loop are more spaced out and wooded than in the other loops. They also don't have electric and the bathroom is a vault toilet. Site D37 was able to fit our two tents comfortably but I don't think there was a flat space to fit a third. It was also pretty overgrown and unkept. So bring lots of bug spray. Site D39 is pretty close and it would work well for a group needing multiple spots. We had a view of the lake across the road. The bathroom was a several minute walk. Site D37 across from us had water access and looked really nice. Other nearby spots D40 was also quite heavily wooded and didn't look like it had much more than one semi-flat spot for a tent. But it was definitely very private! We used the shower houses (which we had to drive to get to) and they were okay. The water wouldn't get hot, but we didn't take ice cold showers. The swim beach was the highlight of this location and very nice!

This spot is one of the best electric sites we have stayed at. Its flat and partly shaded. Easy access and the area is very peaceful. We really enjoy being close to the beach.

Firstly, this is a campground and looo weve been camping at for 20 years now. Weve always loved it. This last stay though was not enjoyable. We ended up having a neighbor with a camper and industrial size generator that was extremely loud. This thing ran all day and all night long. It was so loud we couldnt even hear each other talk. Couldnt sleep either. As its supposed to be a primitive loop quiet time is 10pm and generators are supposed to be prohibited after 10pm. As the attendants were never once seen driving around checking on things we ended up having to call the sheriff to deal with it. We hated being those people. Bathrooms were never attended to and the shower houses were nothing less than disgusting. Sadly I dont think well be returning as we felt we were camping amongst unsupervised drunken toddlers. Our last morning we woke up to our other neighbors screaming profanities at one another. The marina all the way across the lake heard this and ended up calling the law. Still never once seen the attendants.

Good spot, able to fit one large and one medium tent on level grass. Campsite faculties are clean and spacious. Very great location with enough room between sites

Very good camping experience except for a neighbor that kept bright lights on 24/7.

The site was clean and level. The concrete picnic table, the benches should be out more. They are uncomfortable to sit at. That's OK we use to hold the coleman stoves. Also as a swimsuit drying rack. We have T Mobile, the service is decent. On this last trip, the vault toilet smelled better than any been in. I do wish the sites could be cnverted to have water at the site.

Update your shower housesThe concrete structures are so hot by afternoon you can barely stay in there 10 minutesThe only nice thing about it, your hot water is always cold . Spending the week in Arkansas camping you should come down here and try to learn something. Cameras would also be nice to try to cut down on the homeless people using the showers.

The pads are very level and far apart. Being a small site keeps the traffic and noise to a minimal. Access to the water is non-existence which keeps the availability easy.

I like the space between campsites on the A loop. The water is close by. I do wisth there was a shower house on the A loop. We have T-Mobile, good coverage. The sites are big and leval. The concrete picnic tables are not a good design for sitting at. We use it as a cooking table. The camp hosts are nice. We see the camp host, rangers, sheriff patrol often. We have never felt in danger here.

Love pad #15! However, it could use a little more gravel towards the front of the pad. There is a big dirt area that when it rains, it gets very muddy! If they could just put some gravel over that area, it would be great! (I think the picnic table is sitting there now but could have been moved since we were there). The only disadvantage, a couple of them, is there is no place to pull up a boat to shore and no way to get down to the lake if you just want to swim. If there was a pathway down to the water in one of the less steep areas, it would be doable for us older folks to get to the water. Thank you for your consideration.

This is a great park with a perfect little beach area. My site was level and close to the bathrooms. I had a beautiful view of the lake. There are many trees to shade the sites. I was in loop B, so I did need to take a short drive to the beach, but well worth it. I was here during the week and it was very peaceful and the beach had maybe 25 people the entire time I was there.

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!!!
