We stayed two nights. The first day a family played loud music and had barking dogs that made the setting very uncomfortable. Second night, different family with children who screamed in agony all night. At 3am, I abandoned my tent and drove to another site and tried unsuccessfully to sleep in my car until sunrise. Awful experience. I feel sorry for the other family, but I felt like a refugee fleeing a war zone. No peace, no quiet.

Perfect site! Plenty of room and lots of privacy on the sides, across the road and behind. This was really helpful with our dogs. Excellent views - some of the best in Colorado! You can see part of the lake from the site, as others have mentioned, which was beautiful with dramatic peaks backdrop. Easy walk to the lake on the path directly from the site. The path ends at the dirt road with access to several fishing points and a kayak/SUP rental trailer. We will absolutely stay again!

Somewhere when registering, there should be a place for me to enter my America the Beautiful pass in order to receive the Senior discounted rate. It did not show up and so I paid the given ( (full) price. My friends were able to pay half what I did and Im older than either of them. I requested a refund or credit towards next summer trip, but it was denied. Plus, it rained all week so we left a day early!

Sites are crammed. Hot basin with no views or water access.take is polluted with mine tailing and there is no real shore access. Totally packed. 14 young people sitting around using drugs and being load in a standard site. Left after not being able to resolve group size disturbances with the host due to not being able to find/ communicate concerns with them.

Great campsite with beautiful views. Bathrooms were cleaned daily. Quick access to the lakes and nearby hiking.

This was an amazing tent site! There was a path right across from us that lead us down to the water and to Angel's Fishing Point. Which is a great spot to post up with some chairs and enjoy the water. It also makes a great area for a launching spot for kayaks and SPB. You can drive or walk. We chose to drive. This site we were across from the restroom and a short distance from the water point. The water point is kinda hidden, but it's down the way. Be prepared that this restroom has no running water, so bring hand sanitizer. The restrooms were cleaned daily by the camp host and were super clean. There is also a trash point around the loop. Be warned at this time of the year that mosquitos are horrible. If there was no wind, they were out and relentless. Overall, it was an amazing location with breathtaking views. We enjoyed Twin Lakes and White Star. We will definitely be back!

Really nice couple runs it. Clean and friendly

We were at site 46 with a tent and a teardrop camper. Plenty of space and lots of shade in the site and throughout the campground. Vault toilets were clean and stocked (women's at least). All the campers who where there at the same time observed quiet hours, which was nice. Great cell service with Google Fi. All in all, really nice facility for basic camping and will definitely visit again!

Spoke to host and switched to 33 in Ridge loop instead of originally planned 24. Had a great experience in camp and the surrounding area. Good shade and some breeze on the elevated areas, seemed like less bugs than the two lower loops.
@ChantriaP3D9BA · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #54
Campground is well situated - only 5 min drive from the water. Campsites were fairly close to one another, depending on which area of the campground you were on. And bathrooms were relatively clean. Our specific site was not very flat and had no coverage from the sun though. Would consider camping here again if it was a more shaded site as the sun can be brutal in the summer.
@RebeccaD857325 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #64
Great campsite. Close to car, bathrooms, and trash without being TOO close to smell anything. Met some cool hikers at the campsite next to us.
@KimberlyF17054 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #65
I knew from previous reviews this would be a walk-in site and was looking forward to being off the road. I didnt know that accessing the site would require walking through a creek. The only way to avoid it was to walk along the side of a hill and then through another campsite, which was a longer, difficult, and awkward path. It looks like there was a path built up over the water at one point, but it hasnt been maintained, so the creek is actually 4-5 feet wide where the walking path is supposed to cross to this site. The bathrooms smelled atrocious as well and the level of feces was very high in the toilet. It is such a beautiful location that I was really disappointed in the lack of care. I reserved two nights, but left the first morning because it was so unpleasant.
@Elizabeth31927 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #66
Quiet and lovely campground. The camp sites are spaced far apart to give some privacy. We lucked out and camped right next to little running creek, although our site was fairly close to the bathrooms and we could catch a whiff now and then. Still it was a nice campground and we would recommend it.
@KeithP2276855 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #59
Hillside camp site and narrow pullout type site.
@christina2E0DE · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #26
Great campsite! We stayed on Sage loop. It was busy, but quiet. Bathrooms were very clean. We stayed at number 26 and love the location. Super close to Leadville
@Elizabeth31927 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #7
Beautiful campground and the camp hosts are lovely too! The grounds and the bathrooms are very clean.
@LaurenS8749134 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #6
Site 6 was beautiful. The campgrpund was very quiet and the bathrooms were clean.
@MichelleM70561 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #11
We stayed in the Sage loop in space 11. Very spacious spot and conveniently located near potable water source and vault toilets. Campground was very clean and hosts were very friendly and attentive. The campground itself is fairly large with many spaces, but we still enjoyed our privacy as the spots were generously spaced. We will definitely return next year!
@CarlyPDFF4B949 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #6
Quiet, easy access to lakes, clean bathrooms
@JoanneJ5885253 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #10
Our campsite was great - we had a view of Twin Lakes. Just down the hill, you could rent paddle boards. If you brought your own, there was a close by place to get in the water. The vault toilet was probably the cleanest one I've ever seen.
@PeggyS1723789 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #9
Nice campground! Clean bathrooms, beautiful surroundings, hiking trails, boating and biking. We love White Star campground
@VeraMA2946EE9A · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #12

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

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!!!
