I would not recommend camping here while the bridge construction is going on, at least not in any sites near the bridge. The sites at the far end of the campground (closest to the entrance) are quieter. I was expecting some construction noise, but it was extremely loud...sounded like power washing at 150 dB from about 7am to 7pm. That was my bad for not heeding the warnings on the campsite description. The campsite host was nice (ran into him while he was restocking the vault toilets). The vault toilets are about what you'd expect for vault toilets, not too bad. The sites themselves have a decent amount of trees separating them from one another, which is nice for a bit of privacy as far as the mountain loop highway campgrounds go. I will go back when the bridge isn't under construction and try to get a spot along the river.

Campsite and campground are clean and well maintained. River is beautiful as always. Unfortunately this year there was bridge maintenance going on that made the daytime nearly unbearable. It is from 7am to nearly 7pm of constant deafening noise of pressure washing and sand blasting the bridge. It was very hard to just talk to someone sitting a few feet away. Camp host was very friendly and very helpful. Look forward to visiting next year and giving it 5 stars as long as there is no more construction.

Roadway through campground needs some work.

Very quiet and beautiful camp ground.

Nice campsite - large area for the tent, easy parking, standard sturdy picnic table, plus a firepit. Nice views of the river and the bridge. Not much shade or tree cover on our particular site (005), would bring a gazebo next time. There were a fair amount of people visiting the river for day use, so be aware that there may be vehicles arriving and people walking near the sites somewhat often - but it's not like they're walking right through the site; just nearby. It didn't cause any problems. Enjoyed the site and will likely be back.

This was a great site, right next to the water, but not the campsite everyone has to go through to get to the water. That was the next one over. The red bridge was in many of my picture backgrounds from the campsite.

Pleasant campground. Well maintained. It was a little difficult to find a path down to the river -- had to go through other peoples' (with their permission) sites.
@RachelV2023165 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #3
One of the best swimming spots is right under the red bridge during the Summer months. There is much beauty along the river during the day. Activities including bird watching, wading/ swimming, rock and gem hunting, and fishing are all great here. The nights have their own unique, serene experience. The stars shine clear and bright at night, and falling asleep to the sound and smell of the river is hypnotic. I Love this place and am eager to come back!

If you come prepared, youre gonna have a great time.

We slept at this campground after a day of hiking to Goat Lake. We has a refreshing swim in the river. Campsites are close to the road but the road isn't too busy.

Very disappointing in the communication and money department. I stayed 2 nights but was required to pay for 3 nights! My first night was first-come, first-served, but that was not eligible for the TWO-NIGHT MINIMUM the online reservations required. Quite the con game. I wrote an inquiry note but NO ONE RESPONDED TO MY PLEA. And why on earth do we need a 2-night minimum after Labor Day?
@BarbaraB381397 · Camped on Sep 12, 2022 at Campsite #1
I was plesantly surprised as I booked at Red Bridge based only on pictures I saw on line. We were origionly booked at Money Creek but becauce of the Bolt Creek fire was cancelled. The site we wound up on was FF and the traveling camp host allowed us to take the money from the prepaid site #1 and aply it to site #14. In short I will be totally willing to visit this campground again.

Fantastic camp site. Best time ever!
@SusanR6190673 · Camped on Aug 30, 2022 at Campsite #13
Beautiful. Site 16 is big and private. A bit close to the road, but most national parks are. No bugs (surprisingly). No cell service, no water.
@KrisC4259474 · Camped on Aug 25, 2022 at Campsite #8
River was great, Campsite was very clean. Camp wood available. No Rain :) Great night!!
@MatthewF544540 · Camped on Aug 19, 2022 at Campsite #4
Everything was solid! Bathrooms were clean despite no on-site host (host was down the road at another site). We had a site right under the HWY but wasn't too loud at night. Beach was "accessible" from most sites along the river albeit steep and loose dirt in many of the spots. Water was cool in August and refreshing.

There were some dispersed campers on the other side of the bridge who...had a live band or something...and were blasting music until 4 or 5 in the am but that's not the campsite's fault.

Would recommend this place but bring lots of bug spray if you're sensitive. Lots of beetles things and mosquitos
@ThomasN5861088 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #12
Very nice small campground not rv friendly. The website advertised #12 as 40ft max our 30ft trailer was more than the site would accomidate. Small trailers, campers and tents this a nice little campground
@MikeM9721189 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #10
Always nice to stay at RED BRIDGE. The generators can be a bit much. Plenty to explore around the area.
@JayK7783297 · Camped on Aug 17, 2022 at Campsite #4
Second trip here: while we struck out fishing, we had a great time. The campsite was easily accessible, and the other campers were friendly but not intrusive.
@DavidN9135851 · Camped on Aug 16, 2022 at Campsite #8
Good clean site. River was a dream. Lots of cool hikes nearby. Love that there's no cell coverage. Feels good when the phone becomes a mere camera.
@DaveL858 · Camped on Sep 10, 2021 at Campsite #12
Nice campground. The facilities were clean and stocked. Garbage cans have been removed and replaced by a dumpster, which is OK. This campground is crowded all season long, make sure you get reservations early for a weekend stay.
@JustinH132 · Camped on Sep 7, 2021 at Campsite #2
The location was fantastic, a nice river to play in, nice spots, fantastic stars at night! Easy take off point for Ice Caves & Monte Cristo hikes. There is no water but clean vault bathrooms & trash services are available. Picnic Tables, Fire Pits, flat level tent spots, Perfect small TT/RV parking (but don't bring your big rigs in here).

My only grudge is I wish this campground was First Come First Serve like back in the old days! I can't stand Reservation Camping...
@BillH185 · Camped on Aug 30, 2021 at Campsite #3
Nice clean sites. Quiet. Very green despite the drought.

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!!!
