The camp host, Steve, did a good job keeping the campsite clean. A good distance away from the highway, so very quiet. My site was close to the reservoir; the view toward Mt Jefferson in the morning was beautiful! The only downside is that the mosquitoes were ravenous and basically impervious to the bug spray.

@Josephine6DE60 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #4

Don't waste money on any bug spray or any type of mosquito repellent "it doesn't work" those mosquitoes are a different type of breed they repellent/blood thirsty also don't stay outside past 7:30pm that's when they really get you but for the most part have fun and swim with the fish.And for the for the recreation.gov exclude those pests and I'll be back next year with no bug spraySincerely- mosquito eater-Aho

Great campsite, host was very friendly. The only issue is the mosquitos - remember to bring bug spray!

@ErikS9024367 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #23

Enjoyed this campground very much -- quiet, nice flat campsite with table and fire ring, water available, and lake swimming. Campground host very helpful and friendly.

@DebGDC4D4E6121 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #2

Beautiful, clean campground. The campHost is working hard to keep everything top notch over here.

@MaxBE7FB6DBDE7 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #8

The camp host Steve is an absolute gem of a human. He maintains the place like no other campground Ive been to, and it shows how much care he puts into the place.

@NaiS6F3F1368FA · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #4

Fantastic camp host. He was super helpful and kind. The guy kept the place very clean.

@RachelC2171796 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #24

The camp host was amazing. Although, our spot (#24) which was originally shown to have a water view/view of Mt Jefferson, did not and was fully obstructed by trees. Easy water access from the day use area though, although I would not recommend swimming in the reservoir!

@VictorV260D924 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025

we loved the amenities and lots of overflow parking

@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #6

Nice camp host. Lake access is easy to walk to. Beach is rocky though.

@NicholasS29081 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #4

We loved our camping experience. The campground was well taken care of & truly beautiful. We stayed for a whole weekend for a hiking trip we had planned to Smith Rock State Park (20min away & definitely worth seeing), and was honestly one of the better campgrounds we've stayed at for a while. Hands down definitely recommend camping here!

@AnnR1992568 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #2

Quiet, nice views and very attentive hosts. The campground and bathrooms were spotless.

@GeneM819D83A05 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #9

Great campground and the host is awesome, I was glad to see them back. Always friendly and very helpful, Steve is awesome!!

@LoriA7453277 · Camped on May 8, 2025 at Campsite #23

Quiet, well-maintained campground. Steve is a super host!!

@AbigailR9750F7 · Camped on May 6, 2025 at Campsite #24

Haystack reservoir is a great place to fish and the camp sites weren't bad either. Spot 24 was right behind the camp hosts designated spot and had a very nice place to set up a tent within the trees. Plenty of shade and close to water access! The camp host Steve was extremely nice and we appreciated his help :)

@JenneH4BB70204 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #2

I will not go back. The lake was so dirty, stinky and rocky that we couldnt swim in it. There was 2 feet of moldy stinky seaweed on the shore. Most camp sites do not have a view of the lake, and they are challenging to park a trailer in with odd angles and uneven ground. The bathrooms are simply stinky outhouses with no showers. There is no playground or beach area for kids to play.

@XinyiS1B948CA5 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #10

Gorgeous view of Mt. Jefferson. Very quiet place, millions of mosquitoes. The site is close to the toilet but no water in there.

@Christine93542 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #17

We very much enjoyed our 2 nights with you! Peaceful and quiet, our dog Sam enjoyed swimming. Wish we had more time there.

@barbn6FBD48B8D · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #17

the campground hosts were awesome but the water level not so much. We left early since it was a hassle to get kayaks in the water.

@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #8

We really liked our site. Pretty flat for a van. Also liked that it was away from the water.

@BillG2092969 · Camped on Oct 7, 2023 at Campsite #2

If you like off-grid camping, this is the place. Campsites are quiet, private, and provides a good views of the lake. Yes, the price is right at $23.00. If you have the America the Beautiful Military Pass, you get 50%. Enjoy your camping.

@ErikaH8627166 · Camped on Sep 23, 2023 at Campsite #6

Great peaceful spot

@leslies1712646 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #24

Really nice campground. Our site had a beautiful view. The hosts were great. Very informative about the area. Only thing I think that would make it better, if the campground could have a shower.

@DaramC84B1B47D · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #20

Way better than my expectation! Love their friendly host who delivers firewood to your campsite. The cleanest vault toilet. Spacious campsites. It seems like most of the sites have part of a shady area. But on hot and dry days, having a canopy is highly recommended. Shores are mostly rocky, except for a little bit of sandy beach at a boat ramp. Willing to visit again!

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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
