Campsite 18 is a great pull thru beachfront site. Upon arrival I was greeted by a bull snake at the site. Glad to see it first, having a small pet with me. The camp host is always making rounds and gladly aided in moving the snake along at the time. The site is located close to the restroom and its kept clean & tidy every time Ive camped here. Less people camping during the work week days so it was semi empty and peaceful, despite the hail storm lol. This site also provides shade just a bit sooner than other sites with the mature trees lining the shore. So far my favorite lakeside campsite at Canyon Ferry.

Reserving a campground over the internet is always a hassle. You can't see the site before you buy it. Camping isn'tfun anymore. it's become mechanized and noisy. There is always that guy that has to run a generator down to the verylast second of 10pm. This made our visit unpleasant.

Our space was still occupied when we got there. Thank goodness for the gentlemen which is the camphost he got them to move and we finally got to the space. The people who were from Gallatin County were very rude. We do enjoy camping at Helgate and have for years.

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!!!
