Great 3 night stay in C circle. Very early in the season, I think the campground had just opened up when we where there, as the bathrooms were covered in beetles/bugs the first night, then looked like brand benew bathrooms the next day after someone had cleaned them! They bathrooms are very old, but they do have 1 hot shower in each the male and female bathrooms. Not sure how that plays out in summer with no water at sites. There were also pit toilets and a water spigot with dish washing water disposal one site away from us. I did not use the pit toilets, but the dish water disposal and water we used frequently by us, very convenient. I did accidently pay/book a double site with 2 hook ups and 2 tent pads, which I think I paid an extra fee for, but that is my fault, I was worried about our tent not fitting on a single site. There were few people in the campground so it felt very private and secluded, lots of trees also so sites were far apart and private. We walked through the tent camping meadow, which seemed nice, not sure if there are showers there though. We didn't really have views of the rocks from our site, definitely wouldnt have them in summer, but from the tent meadow the views are very nice! No service with T-Mobile, we used our StarLink.

A really nice campground. Convenient parking, mostly level site w/ five tent platforms, large center firepit area with multiple picnic tables. Site D doesn't have a great view of the rocks, but that was OK. The bathrooms were really nice, with running water and an available shower. The fact that you weren't allowed to pitch your tent on the grass was a little wonky (and unexpected), but the staff worked with us on that since we were a large group and got there late. Thank you!

Sites are well spaced and fairly level. The campground was close to the general store that had free wifi. We did have a couple of issues with dogs off leash.

I camp here typically 2x a year first and last weekends the grounds are open. Fewer people, quieter. Only the sound of Foxes and coyotes to keep you awake.

Very good place. Site B25 was awesome, we got it at last moment luckily. It had large area compared to others and was secluded enough. Nature centre etc was closed due to shut down. Day 1 we did noth fork trail till chimney top, bear preserve rock (very bad road here but worth visit) and blackwater fall. Drive in valleys was mesmerizing. We spent enough time at camp. Next morning it was raining, We skipped spruce know and went for nearby seneca mountain hiking which was doable in rain. Overall, we had great time. There is store nearby with 5 min drive which has everything.

Great campsite! main bathrooms and showers were great - we stayed in campsite 70 in far back corner of the walk in tent sites and it was great! No view of the rocks from the tent but huge open space around to see them

I stayed at site 54 and it was very nice. The parking area is close enough that it isnt a big deal to make multiple trips to set up camp. This site was also far enough way from the bathrooms that you couldnt smell them (definitely stay further away from the vault toilets). The campground was very nice and the hosts had firewood for sale, cheaper than the little camp stores in town. My group did the seneca rocks hiking trail and left straight from the campsite. It adds a little over a mile to the hike but it takes you through the little town and discovery center so its nice. You cant see the rocks from any tent walk in site directly, but there is a nice open meadow area in the middle that anyone can walk into for a spectacular view that is just a few feet away. This also means there isnt much tree coverage for the walk in sites, they are pretty open. However, we did check out the drive in tent sites and those are much more private, but with no view of the rocks. All in all, it was a nice campground that was well maintained (cut grass, clean tent pads, nice fire rings/tables), and it was the perfect distance to some of seneca rocks fun activities (we also drove to Seneca Caverns). We will be staying again!

The site was very nice especially as tent campers. Our only complaint was in previous years, camp personnel would come by each day to offer wood for sale and delivery. This year no one stopped by although we saw them go to different loops and sites, but not check specifically at each loop area. We had to go pick up wood from the supply ourselves, which we didnt know we could until we asked one of the other campers. We have camped at Seneca Shadows several times over the years and always had good customer service. This year we were disappointed in the lack of service.

This is a nicely laid out campground, with lots of sun, shade, space, and great views of Seneca Rocks. You can walk to the very small town of Seneca Rocks and the visitor center. The drive in sites have picnic tables and pads for tents. All of the drive in sites have bathrooms close by. Even the walk in sites are pretty nicely spaced. The bathrooms and showers are not pristine or anywhere close to new. But generally, they're ok / not too bad. I have seen better. But I have also seen much worse.

Very beautiful campground with nice views of Seneca Rocks. Easily reachable from town and supply shops.Reason I didnt give 5 stars - not much privacy between the campsites on the grass field and lots of people walking by our site the whole time. Otherwise, enjoyed it very much.

Bathrooms really need some maintenance. Very little parking near the walk in sites. Sites themselves are nice enough.

Walk-in sites were spaced quite closely together. Bathroom was clean but when the wind blew in a certain direction we could smell the bathroom, even though we had taken pains to pick a site as far away from the toilet as possible. Otherwise, a good campsite.

Very quiet and peaceful site, just a few sites away from a decently clean bathroom that includes flush toilets and one shower. Site was nice and shaded so wasnt too hot, despite a heat wave and high humidity.

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.
