Very quiet and clean area. Easily accessible boat ramp and small cove for swimming and fishing.

Lots of great campsites. Restrooms in the campground are ok. Need an upgrade. Shower house was a bit better but a long walk from campground. Boat ramp being close was a big positive.

The campground host is the best one that we have ever had any any park !

Very nice park. Stay here when we go to Lucas Oil Speedway.

This campground is small and quiet, which makes it particularly relaxing. Site 12 is a huge, lakefront space that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Great place and quite.
@HaroldB5534382 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #8
The spaces are roomy and not on top of each other like some other parks. The park is very clean. There are several sites that have access to the lake. The only thing that we have wished for is that the bank along the lake where sites 16, 26 thru 31 can be kept cleaner so more people can access the lake.

Beautiful park, lots of shade.

Family Friendly, smaller park, just lacking a decent playground
@GraceB12112614 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #32
Love camping at Lightfoot. The host this year is very conscientious and kept the facilities clean and orderly.
@JoelL9318343 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #12

@RogerK06520001 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #25
Very well kept, quiet campground. The host, Bruce, made sure we had everything we needed and kept an eye out for all the campers. We will be back next June!
@JessicaP660817 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #28
We really enjoyed the campground. It was quiet, clean and has great access to the water. The shower house was clean, the bathrooms were well maintained as well. It was busy on the main road during the weekend with all the boats going in and coming out, but the camping loop traffic was at a minimum. We will be back!
@TodR17BCC57D90 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #8
Great area. Close to our camper storage. Great facility. many of our people come over the summer
@GlenM9786145 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #1
Great place and quiet. Host very nice!
@RebeccaB760095 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #35
We are regulars at Lightfoot, like 10+ trips per year for over 5 years this is a quaint and friendly park. My only issue with the facility is its awful, outdated playground.
@sharib7248951 · Camped on Apr 17, 2025 at Campsite #13
The Girls bathroom/shower house. The door did not shut all the way. Plus it was dark just one light in front of the building I did not feel save. it needs to be more light out there.
@RebeccaB760095 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #31
We love Lightfoot Park it is a smaller park, with many of the same families each weekend, which makes it more fun.
@LarryA1350788 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #4
The campground was very clean and quite, the site was large and well maintained. I had a very nice visit with friends.
@DavidK6336379 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #12
The campsites, restrooms and shower were clean. John, the camp host, whom we got to know over the past years is excellent. The area is quiet, the sites are level and easy to back onto with plenty of shade.
@brittany922955 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #22
The bathrooms were not working first few days of week. Really inconvenient and its about time they get updated. This has happend more than once when we have camped here. Othewise we love light foot landing our families have been coming for close to 50 years
@JoeA9101109 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #5
Bathrooms and showers are very dirty trash all over the ground attendant was very rude people not pull off there sites when it was time to move.
@RebeccaB760095 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #23
The 30 amp plug didnt work but we were able to borrow a 50 to 30 amp converter from the host booth to get through the weekend.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
