The power keeps tripping the breaker on camp site 17 thru 26 on the hottest days. Had to go and get my generator to keep AC running not real happy as this has happened before . Have camped there for many years and get the same results its like they don't care as they keep giving excuses and nothing gets fixed may just have to find a different place to camp in the future.

We were some of the first campers after the storm recovery. The campsite was still messy with downed branches and twigs but it was an easy clean-up. The waterfront was enjoyed by everyone. The first 3 days of our stay was very enjoyable but the last night was ruined by a group of after midnight arrivers who were disrespectful of their neighbors......very noisy and boisterous. I'm not sure they slept at all because they were loud again before 6 AM. I guess I don't know how the campground's quiet hours are supposed to be enforced but it sure would have been nice if the ccampground host or park ranger would have carried that out. The restroom facilities were kept up as best as possible considering some liquid handsoap vandalism all over the floor and a man leaving fish scales and slime in the sink basin which completely plugged the drain. All in the day of a typical public area, I guess! We would definitely recommend this campground.....but have learned it is not ideal to do tent camping on a 4th of July weekend if your goal is peace and quiet!

We really like staying at the East Ashtabula campground.

The campsite was very roomy, however the fire pit was filled with water when we go there and all the grassy surfaces slope downhill, so there is really no good place to put a tent. No cell service, but does have a Hot Spot. That is not a huge deal. Overall was very nice,

Nice spot but to bad it cant be open all week
@Krisdeann7D51F · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #29
First time camping here. The host was very friendly and helpful. Perfect spot for camping with some shade. Everyone (other campers) were super friendly there. Definitely on our list to camp at again.

Stayed during the week so it wasnt crowded. Very nice campground with very friendly hosts. Very peaceful and quiet. Well cared for. Clean restrooms and showers. WiFi signal was pretty weak. We will be coming back.

The 'no alcohol' rule was not enforced and loud parties persisted all night during my visit.

Small quite park
@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #31
SLOPE WAS TOO SEVERE - COULD NOT LEVEL OUT THE RV. ALSO , THE SITE WAS VERY MUDDY ( THERE WAS A SMALL STREAM RUNNING THRU IT ).

Always a good time
@KylieW46773648 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #11
No gravel in the site, it was pure mud. Site is extremely unlevel. It would be such a beautiful spot too!!
@cherylls554904 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #9
We were the only one in the campground, but even so it is very nice and clean.
@CarrieM9137499 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #5
the campground was clean and the host very friendly. The showers were horrible. filthy.
@GregoryS158769 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #21
We enjoyed setting up our tent close to Lake Ashtabula. Camp hosts were hospitable. Bathrooms and showers were clean and a treat as we spent an enjoyable 6 days in mid September.We used Ashtabula East Crossing as a basecamp for exploring the gorgeous Shyenne Valley and NE North Dakota.It was memorable to visit Standing Rock, a site for ceremonials and offerings of the Dakota Indians.

Nice spot, kinda hard to get into when the beach is busy.
@MaryO8691436 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #35
Bathrooms / showers were clean and nice.
Friendly camp.
Cell service was poor.
@WandaP05734B56 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #11
Great time. Bathrooms need to be improved, showers do not always work or have poor water flow. Garbage should be picked up more during holiday weekends/weeks. The dump station was not available during our stay as needed.
@CiaraB6F9284B8 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #8
A very well-kept camping site. Walkable distance to the restaurant across the road and to the beach and playground.
@TerryD4370431 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #34
This is a site that I will not do again with our camper. The ground is very sloped and I never could get my camper completely level. Not only that but there is no other level ground to setup our gazebo or much less anything else.
@KellyB8439114 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #14
We had a great time! The Host family is so great
@AnilK8455564 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #32
Good campsite with great lake and sky view!
@CodyM2108448 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #1
This is a very nice campground and my family and I enjoyed our time here. The campground has a nice playground and swimming area which is great for children. The lake is nice and allows for fun boating or fishing.

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!!!
