Always a lovely camp experience here. The hosts this year were on it - came to our site right away to check in, gave us a parking pass, and came around in the evenings to offer wood ($10). Very friendly and kind!Our site was clean and quiet with great shade. We went to cottonwood lake during the day which is about a 20 min drive.

This is such a beautiful campground. You can hear the river close by. I highly recommend this campground and site. The hosts were very helpful and kind. They did a great job answering questions and keeping the campground well maintained.

Beautiful campground. Site F was across the road from the stream/river and the sound was delightful! Bathrooms were clean and site was raked and perfect when we arrived. We were greeted by the camp hosts, Crystal and Lyric soon after arrival. We bought nice firewood ($10. bundle) and enjoyed campfires every day.Driveway was not level for RV, but easy to deal with. Beware of large potholes in the roads!

This is the nicest campground I've ever been to! The sites along the river were spacious and had bear proof containers which made for a great kitchen set up. The vault toilets are the cleanest I have ever seen. No bugs and they didn't even smell bad. The hosts were friendly and helpful, even gave us a nice map of the area and made some recommendations for places to visit. I would absolutely recommend this campground!

The hosts were great. Probably the cleanest campground weve ever been too. Well be back for sure!

Wonderful, new camp hosts. They really care about the job they are doing. Beautiful site next to the water. Nice hike up to the lake
@BradEC59AB63E4 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #37
Clean facilities, host communicative, and checked on us, asked if we needed anything and offered firewood. Will come back.

Great experience! Wonderful camp hosts and the campground is in a beautiful setting.

Great campsite with good amenities. Camp host ran their generator both nights after the advertised quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am which made sleeping difficult.
@LenaM8197326 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #24
It was our first time at this campground and we really liked it. Our site was so private and even moose stopped by. The camp host couple was amazing. I saw them working so hard around. Unfortunately, we could not hike what we planned as trails were still covered with snow (May 25), but had great views over the Cottonwood pass and relaxed in the hot springs nearby. Definitely will return.

Located near several trail heads, good size camp sites, most of all quiet. Enjoyed the stay
@KevinM3320770 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #36
Great spot not really a level spot on the campsite but you definitely have the high ground from the campsites around you just find a good spot and make the best of it. You may wake up to a moose licking your tent at 4:30am
@KathrynD648455 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #O
Very nice campground. Sites are good and everything, including bathrooms were very clean. Stayed for 2 days by myself and was comfortable the whole time.
@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #33
The campground is in an ideal location & there is not a bad site. The park hosts were fantastic! They were friendly & kept everything neat, tidy, and clean. Follow them on YouTube. Everyone at the campground was respectful & kept noise to a minimum. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. We cannot wait to stay there again. Happy camping!
@ToddD7843035 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #F
Gorgeous, quiet spot within hearing of the creek. Not many other campers so I had easy access to the water but all the campers were friendly. As stated, bathrooms were impeccable and the camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Will return for sure

Love the Collegiate Peaks campground; it's one of our favorites. Many of the sites are beautiful. Camp hosts were helpful. Close to Cottonwood Pass, Mt Yale (a 14er) trail, and several other destinations.
@StacyH3609220 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #13
Beautiful campground! We were in site 13, and it was massive. So fun to explore and plenty of space between the sites in our area. I noticed other sections where sites were closer together however. You could hear the river running nearby. Camp hosts were super nice. Facilities were clean. Would definitely go back!
@C979D2108CB447 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #33
We stayed at site 8 (1 night) and site 33 (multiple nights). We were in the area for hiking for most of a week, and had to book multiple sites due to availability when planning. The hosts were friendly to talk with, and were happy to let us stay on site 33 for the last night and easily changed our reservation based on availability, which was great, as it saved us from moving our tents yet again. We had 3 tents and both sites had enough space. Site 8 had enough flat-ish spots, and you can easily hear the creek. Most of the site is under tree cover, and is somewhat close to other sites. Site 33 was very much in the open near the parking spots, and this was great for star gazing. It was a bit farther from sites, but in the open. However, it also had some space near the river, with some trees that were great hammocks. This was likely the best part of the site. The hosts had plenty of firewood as well - there was no concern whatsoever about not being able to get wood on-site. Great campground; would love to go back.

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.
