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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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 :)

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!
@AngelikaH919D9 · Camped on Jun 7, 2023 at Campsite #6
Schöner Campground, netter Camphost!
@LindseyS0B1173 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #10
We stayed in spot 10 and had an excellent time! The spot was large, had good shade and great water access! Right next to the day use area but still felt private and far enough from other campers. Camp host was great! Paddling and swimming in the lake was nice.
@BarbP5555571 · Camped on May 1, 2023 at Campsite #23
Campground was clean and so pleasant. thanks
@SuzyW2640226 · Camped on Oct 14, 2022 at Campsite #10
Nice little campground. Be aware that photos online are not true to life, those that look like they may have flat paved driveways are actually sloped, so will need to work at leveling RVs. There are some pull through spots with nice level spaces. We stayed end of season, and unfortunately the resevoir was in the process of being drained for maintenance, so we did not have the lovely lakeside spot as anticipated. You may want to call ahead and check on the water conditions if that's important for you. But the grounds were nicely maintained and the camp host was very friendly and accomodating. Would definitely stay here 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.

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!!!
