I've been visiting this lake for over 50 years. I love that it is not over populated and commercialized. I go camping to enjoy the peace and quiet and that's what I get at damsite. You can't beat the view as you pull into damsite campgrounds or the view of the sun setting over the dam.

We love this camping experience and come here several times a year. We go during the week and its quiet, relaxing, and beautiful. Check out the crappie hole for dinner. Great fish!

This time we camped at site 53. There was more shade in the morning than in the afternoon, but that was okay with us. We spent a lot of time down at the lake, swimming and enjoying the time with our grandkids. During the morning, there was an abundance of shade and cool breezes. However, in the mid-afternoon, we lost shade, but the view of the lake made it worth it. In the evening, the sun was setting, so we could see it. And the view and the color of the sky were amazing. Cannot wait to come back next year and maybe get into another site with more shade or even a site where we are right on the lake . No bad views from anywhere you camp here.

The only thing I would have negative to say was we did not see a camp host come around one time our entire stay. But the park was beautiful and well keeped. this was our second trip and we will be back next year.
@DanC4119480 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #58

@SusanP4870118 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #10
park and restrooms clean
@DannyF3427808 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #1
Great scenery. I believe Dam Site would be 5 stars if at least part of the sites was full hook up capability (sewer).
@MarkDe408E0A44 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #51
Always enjoy camping at Damsite.
@Aleksandr7FC20 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #116
Amazing spot, enjoyed every second of my visit
@AshleyF6916615 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #65
Spot 64 is so great! Perfect access to the water, extra space between the main side of your camper and the next spot (not all spots have this perk and are close the back side of the camper next to them), full afternoon shade, beautiful view. It's our favorite!
@GeneKBAA2247A5 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #66
Very disappointed to hear the park will not have camp hosts next year. Also wish the grass was cut all the way to the water.
@DENAW5396421 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #14
Very disappointed in the hosts at Dam Site. No communication about closed bathrooms upon arrival. Letting campers coming in after midnight. Tents are grass area. Dogs being allowed to be tied out and barking at unattended camp sites. Problems with water and not being told when it was fixed. We love to camp at Dam Site and want to see it taken care of. Thank you

The campsite was very clean and campground well maintained. The bathroom and showers were clean although a bit dated. We enjoy the lake access. We did find campsite was contaminated with ants, but we figured its difficult to control without affecting the environment. Camp host(s) are very friendly and knowledgeable.

One of the best spots I've had. We'll definitely be trying for this site again.

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!!!
