Wonderful campground & Linda at the check-in booth was patient beyond measure with me struggling with modifying my campsite! Thanks so much for your compassion during my confusion!

Very nice, clean and well maintained camping site. It was awesome to have electrical hookups and shower houses to use. Can't wait to go back!

campground was very clean and easy to access. out site was long enough for a 40' 5th wheel and truck. the power was good. No water at site, but was close enough to use 60' of hose to get water. we visited historic site along the Knife river and Lewis and Clark interpretive center.Also, if you are interested visit the Coteau Properties Co-Freedom Mine and Basin Electric Power Cooperative Antelope Valley Station. They are free tours and very interesting. you must call first to schedule.

beautiful place to camp
@TerriW3997939 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #8
The host was so friendly and helpful and the campground was absolutely stunning. We loved biking all over the park and to the fish hatchery, though there isn't too much to see at the hatchery. This is our second time at the park and we will come back again and again!

Weve enjoyed most every stay at downstream. I fish river , closest campground. Very convenient. Nice shower house
@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #33
Very peaceful and quiet, during the week. Clean facilities, horseshoe pits need some attention, but usable. We'll go back soon.
@KevinD6271011 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #59
Other than the rain a couple days and the storm one night, we had a very peaceful week. The campground is neat and tidy and has an abundance of shady campsite.

Downstream campground is a diamond in the rough. Trees are abundant, sites are spaced generously distanced, trails are nicely groomed. In loop 2, 30 amp is on the interior of the loop while 50 amp is on the exterior of the loop. The shower buildings are clean. I noticed early Friday morning that our camp host was out on the 4 wheeler spraying the grass for weeds. My fire pit was clear of the previous guests burnt wood when I arrived. This is a laid back campground - there are a fair amount of families mixed in with couples and singles. Bring your bicycle if you enjoy flat rides - the campground is very spread out between the three loops, about a mile down the road are the primitive camping sites, The fish hatchery sometimes is open for self guided tours, and a few miles down the road is Pick City - a nice bike ride for anyone interested in a little exercise without huffing and puffing.

What a great park! Lots of walking areas and spots for a quick dip in the river. Bird watching is fun and deer pass through early mornings. ( a little deet comes in handy though )
@JaneC5303587 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #14
My actual score would have been a 4.5 if available. We loved most everything about this location except for the terrible flies and mosquitoes during our Mid-July visit. I understand mosquitoes from the river, but the flies are evil enough to make you stay inside your rig.
@sharonR2694981 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #10
We love downstream. It is quiet and very relaxing. Lots to do. The camp hosts are so nice and helpful.
@TinaM2263354 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #111

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.
