We were there first week of June during the week. Campground was quite only about 4 of us there! We had a shaded spot next to the lake. No hook-up available, but knew that going in. Camp hosts were polite and helpful! Being in state seniors its a great price. We intend to go again.

We stayed here for a week. We had a wonderful experience. We meet 3 host all of which were amazing. Our host was in the first loop & he was knowledgeable and friendly. Bathroom was maintained. Lots were mowed. Quiet during the week. We will absolutely book at this campsite in the future. Zero complaints.

The camp host in loop D was absolutely terrible. We paid for four spots for the weekend, and he basically chased us out after singling out my husband and his friend for no reason. Absolutely horrible experience and we lost out on a lot of money because we left because of him. He was screaming and yelling and telling my husband he was going to have him arrested for no reason. We will never ever come back and we are steering our family and friends away as well. What a terrible experience.

The camp host was hostile towards us and was aggressive towards our group. It was very unprofessional and unjustifiable. His name was Ace
@SeanL3554E14C8 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #17
The campsite was fine. The campground host near the entrance needs some work on how to deal with people. Rude treatment about walking on the roadway and an apparent rule violation. Could have simply stated the problem without treating us like felons. Try to hire employees with people skills.

Very Clean Bathrooms. Hardly any litter on ground. Host (Chuck) was very helpful and courteous.

Beautiful area and the camp host was friendly
@BrentonB57C7FA · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #B
The host is one of the most unprofessional jerks I have ever met.
@LucasLD5EFF6C6 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #62
Showed up late and the host had placed a hand written reservation card on my camp site - was very easy to book online- however the booking fee was about as much as the nightly site fee so make sure you get your dates correct the first time (I didnt ) had to add a day and ended up costing me another $8 + site fee just to add another night stay.
@JeffB8180041 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #A
Very easy to use the site and they keep you informed very well.
@JenniferFECF57 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #60
The campground hosts were horrible and claimed to "make up their own rules" If you like to be in bed by 9:00 and do not mind dogs wandering without leashes throughout the day this is the spot for you. If not, I suggest you book somewhere else.
@williams984835 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #54
My entire experience there was absolutely ruined by the condition of the road into the campground. Do you think this is Ukrakine? Inescusable condituion, I will neve take my motor home in there again. You should be ashamed of yourselves
@SarahL7105976 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #13
Weekends are a gathering of assholes. Loud. Inconsiderate. In your space. Midnight generators. No place to hide, since there aren't trees in Loop C. Moved to Loop A for the week and was finally somewhat peaceful, except for the near constant wind. If you love hearing the Spice Girls at 2am from a glitter boat, off leash dog mayhem, other people's kids and Michelob Ultra, this spot is for you!
@EarlineO76FF03 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #66
The campground is not maintained well at all. The garbage containers were all full when we got there & overflowing when we left, never emptied in a week. The bathrooms are filthy, some days barely any toilet paper. We hardly ever saw either of the 2 hosts. The road into the campground is a disgrace. Someone, county or BOR needs to give it some maintenance. Not a great experience.
@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #A
Great site.
@SusanB4210667 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #23
Camped during the week. It was nice and quiet.
@Christoph92283 · Camped on Sep 2, 2023 at Campsite #58
Hellgate is amazing! I feel this campground is almost a hidden gem due to the location and distance. But that is what makes it so much fun! Camping spots are not super close to each other and you are not competing with another camper 10 feet away. Definitely some wide areas with plenty of beach area. Makes you feel like you have your own private piece of heaven. Bathrooms are clean and well kept. Camp host was always smiling and waving, stopped to talk and ask questions if we needed anything, and was all around great to us. Cost was very inexpensive.

My wife liked this campground. Everyone gets a spot on the lake. Good boat launch.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@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.
