A pretty park with mature trees, nice and quiet. Decent sized parking spots for campers. Friendly staff.

I came with camping friends to plant a tree in memory of a good friend. I met him camping at Downstream & he loved it there. The rangers joined us to honor his memory when we planted the tree. It was a memorable experience.

We really like that campground

Flys were ridiculous. I don't know if it's just time of year or area, but they're terrible, fly traps all over. Campgrounds were clean and tidy, so it wasn't that.

Was supposed to be a 50amp sitewas not!!! Only the 30amp worked!!! Soooo frustrating!!!
@KendraOA3EA125 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #12
Clean bathrooms, large sites with plenty of room between them and paved parking pads. It's a little off the beaten path, but an excellent spot to stop over if you're traveling through
@HelenS1969177 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #73
I enjoy riding bike, walking & the peace & tranquility.

Downstream is a wonderful camp ground. Wether you need all the amenities of home while you venture out or just a place to pitch a tent. This place has it for you. Parks, walking paths, trout pond, swim beach, showers, water n power. Personly I go with loop 4, primitive camping. Great place to stay while catching those late night walleyes! Just keep garbage and food locked up, the racoons will absolutely rummage through your stuff. They ripped up the garbage, ate a thing the pretzels off the table, and walked off with a 2.5 gallon pale of dog food! Found it in the trees behind our camp. Slow down, enjoy the peaceful river bottoms and pack your mosquito repellent of choice! It'll be worth it.

Each campsite has lots of room for games and your pets

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!
@RussellH235385 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #25
Lovely campground. Well spaced sites. Friendly staff.
@KristiH6116534 · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #77
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!
@KERRYB6473728 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #57
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!
@JasonS8132232 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #68
Host take very good care of grounds and campers. No mosquitoes, peaceful place.
@KimS7922535 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #98
We were is site 98 which was a great location! Went golfing at Riverdale's golf course. Beautiful scenery. Followed by pizza at Little's in Pick City. Great day!
@RonH8064686 · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #10
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.

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.
