Ive camped here before in a smaller trailer and always enjoyed this campground. This time I can in my 25ft Airstream. The loop has 2 large sink holes in the road that I bottomed out in one at 10 miles per hour. They are deep and hard to see in the dappled light from the trees. They need fixing or at least signs put up to warn folks. I wasnt the only person that experienced this. The water pump is ridiculous and takes two people to operate to gather water. And then the water is brown. Opted to go into town for water instead. Disappointing trip.

The cam host was so welcoming and helpful!
@RichardR254074 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #15
Camp host was helpful and really nice. Campsite was clean, large, and private. It's a beautiful setting and campground.
@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #1
Camp sites are small but well maintained and clean. Bring your bug spray.

Great Views, Great Host

Stayed here for 11 nights and did some sockeye fishing. The camp host was awesome and very helpful.
@RachelM2671399 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #13
Stayed in site 13. The camp host during our time was amazing. Parking for an extra vehicle is $12, not $10 as it states on this website as of right now. This site was actually laid out well, however, there is a direct view of and walkway to site 1. We were basically camping with them due to the proximity. It would have been find had the group in this site had not been a loud, obnoxious group that was chain smoking and having contests to burp the loudest. I would attempt to find a different site if I stayed here again. The boat/day area was great!

Attentive and super friendly hostess. Easy access to water.
@AaronS9956434 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #6
Great, well maintained campground. Bring some cash for firewood. Camp host was friendly and helpful. Overall, a great place to spend a few days.
@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #12
Shannon Creek is a nice quiet campground on Baker Lake. Its secluded enough to really be out in the forest but still close enough to drive only 2 hours to get there.
@KaityC57A301CC · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #19
The campground was absolutely gorgeous! It was quiet, well-cared for, and our site was clearly marked. The camp host was friendly and really op top of things. We loved our stay, and can't wait to come back!
@SamantaN49E9F0 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #9
Very nice
@AnnetteOE0E4FA · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #12
Pros: Amazing scenery, and access to the lake and local trails. Manager (supervisor) was friendly and helpful, and most campers were considerate of quiet hours.Cons: A bit far from other activities in the region, as it's at the dead end of a long, slow road! Camping spots and outhouse are small, but all were clean and tidy.
@EugeneM6742019 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #8
The campground itself was very nice, and the proximity to some nice day hikes is wonderful. Taking a dip afterwards is off the chart nice! Bring something for your feet as the rocky bottom makes getting in and out a little rough. There is a hand-pump well in the campground labeled "potable", but I thought the water was rusty looking, so I would recommend bringing your own water.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #18
We had an amazing time at Shannon Creek Campground! The lake is absolutely stunningperfect for swimming, kayaking, or just relaxing by the shore. The campground itself was clean, quiet, and very family-friendly. We brought 10 kids with us, and they had an absolute blast! Whether they were playing by the water or exploring the campground, there was never a dull moment. Its a great spot for families looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway. Well definitely be back!
@HeidiG1682452 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #2
Campsite is not entirely flat for a tent, and on the smaller side (my 3 person tent did fit). Vault toilet was clean and well-stocked. Quick walk down to get to the lakeshore.
@JulieM1485661 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #4
Beautiful spot and not overly crowded. Only thing to note is we could hear the road traffic quite well from site 4, but that was only an issue on Friday night; Sat night was peaceful.
@KyleD6A7686899 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #14
I stayed here 3 times this year with friends and family. The camp host, Jane, made our multiple stays the best that they have ever been. She made us feel at home, kept the bathrooms and campsites in amazing shape, and was very kind. We cant wait to come back and hope that she is the host next year as well!
@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #3
The camp sites were a little smaller than we expected, but they were clean and well maintained. The camp host was super great and answered all our questions. Overall a great experience.
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #20
The reservation policy for this campsite is completely broken. There are many people who are able to exploit the system and reserve sites before they become officially available to the public. This needs to be fixed immediately.
@RichardR254074 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #4
The campground was clean, spacious, easy to use. The campers were friendly as was the host. The boat launch was perfect for my rowboat.
@KellyK9785145 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #9
The campground was absolutely quiet (mid-week, June) and we could hear lots of birds and the beautiful sound of wind in the trees. Heads up: the fresh water requires using an old-fashioned pump, which was really fun but maybe not great for everyone's ability. It doesn't require a lot of muscle, but a fair amount of range of motion.
@JonS9305851 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #15
We camped at site # 15 for two nights. The site was ok, although the tent area was a bit small and could use some leveling. Great weather, good hiking and swimming.
@NoraLE1B6DD344 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #12
Quiet and beautiful
@TylerG7B88DF6F · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #19
Wonderful campground, wonderful site. The host was fantastic and very friendly and helpful. I was shocked at the number of empty campsites while I was there - sites that had the 'reserved' sign in place. I suppose folks just book a site and then never show - something like 17 of the 20 sites showed 'reserved' but sat empty the entire time I was there. Odd, but I like peace and quiet so I wasn't complaining! What few other campers there were were quiet and respectful. Overall, a spectacular few days in a beautiful spot that felt right out of a movie set!

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.
