I loved this place! The campground and bathrooms were kept so clean. Probably the cleanest Ive ever seen. I like that its not far from town and just a short walk to the lake. It was really great!

We were charged for a 2nd vehicle even though the site says 2 vehicles are allowed. For some reason they consider a tent trailer a vehicle. Sounds like a way for the host to make some extra cash.

As always, Marsha was wonderful, took care of everything we needed and kept the bathrooms clean and stocked. My issues came from other things like rising costs of parking and not having water available. But by far my biggest issue was the toilets this year, they were beyond full and most of the time you could smell them from the camp site. When complaints were made one toilet further up the loop got pumped but no others. I know it's a hole in the ground but it was absolutely disgusting this year.

Father Dyer is my favorite place to camp! However the issues with the water are a nuisance! Also the lack of emptying the outhouses is unsanitary! The host does an amazing job keeping them clean but the challenges to do so when they are full must be maddening! Please do something to help this little piece of paradise!

One of our favorite spots - the campground is about a 5 min walk down to the lake but separate enough to not be bothered by lake traffic. The sites are pretty well spaced out with decent tree coverage. Theres no water at the campsite but town is maybe 15 min away if you need to grab some.

We reserved 3 campsites next to each other for our family/friends and we were all very satisfied with our weekend. Campsites were spacious, each had a table and fire pit, and we didn't hear our neighbors around us. Bathrooms were also very clean. We'll be coming back again next summer!

We really were lucky regarding the weather. Cool enough during the night that there were nearly no mosquitos and in the low 70's with a gentle breeze during the day. Great weather for hiking in both the mining district and around the lake.

This campground is a short walk to the lake but also a bit sheltered from wind, which is nice.If you fish, please pack your trash out! We collected so much fishing line, lures, and hooks.

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.
