Everything about the campground was very satisfactory.
@HeleenB72F5E32 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #46
Beautiful campground, we had a walk in tent place, a bit secluded, which was perfect. We did the hike up to the Comanche lakes, via the trailhead at the base of the campground. It was stunning!!

This was relatively our FIRST real campground experience and we were Thoroughly Pleased with it!
@VeronicaA79321 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #2
Beautiful! Lush and green with a stream running behind our site. Loved it!
@HeatherH640042 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #27
Camp host is excellent. Put toilets were well kept. Great access to area trails. Only downside is full sun exposure at some sites so plan accordingly.
@KathleenE93163 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #6
Great views. Full WiFi!

Clean campsite, clean toilets, excellent views, and friendly campground host

The wind prevented the enjoyment of the stay. Being in a pop-up camper I was concerned the damage that might be caused by 60mph gusting winds. Overall, it's a great campground and the spot was perfect for being away from neighbors and long enough for my trailer. I hope to return again under less windy conditions.
@JenniferV36797 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #25
Beautiful, lots of trails around the campground, nice people!
@HopeH229C2409E · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #2
This campground was such a gem! There is a creek that runs through several campsites. Campsite 2 is beyond beautiful. The dogwood trees surrounding the campsite plus a private spot at the creek were just perfect. Bathrooms were clean and close by. As well as dumpsters/water.
@HeatherS702716 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #38
The campsite was fantastic! The view was amazing. There were lots of open first come first serve sites. The campground was well taken care of and the camp host was very helpful when we were having camper issues. I will be back!
@JamieH5333373 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #4
Beautifully aired and maintained campground. The pit toilets ran out of paper the last day we were there, but that could be a random anomaly. There is water but its very mineral-rich and highly chlorinated, so you may want to bring your own for drinking and cooking. We didnt mind it, but our guests found it off-putting. Great hiking trails within walking distance. Will definitely be back.
@AdrianH326DC7F · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #26
Great campground in a pretty location. Everything was well maintained and clean.
@RobertN6611454 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #7
Sites we immaculately clean & kept up, & hosts were terrific!
@LawrenceC94977 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #29
Thank for having clean outhouses and running water!
@PeterQ3D3B96A1 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #6
We have been camping at Alvarado for more 40 years. We raised our children up here. The Host is always helpful. Water quality is great. The view can't be beat .
@JulieLouE3B27F · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #26
Beautiful campgrounds with really nice hosts! Loved it !
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #38
Clean and well maintained
@SherryD2C826EA · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #E1
We have been going to Alvarado Campground for at least 30 years. And it has been a pleasure for us. The campground has always been clean on the grounds and in the portable outhouses. The hosts are always amazing and helpful.
@VicBF5C68D0EBA · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #3
Beautiful campsite and a great location! Very clean and well-maintained. Was very quiet the nights I was there. Great local access to some beautiful trails.
@GlenR8B82108AB · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #21
Clean, quiet, beautiful views of the valley. Trails close by.
@JoyH9920179 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #35
The camp hosts- Patti and Tim were amazing. Alvaredo campground is an old campsite- some sites have been updated and improved. We prefer the older ones. Weekends are loud- so many people- most are quiet by 10 pm. Access to the Rainbow Trail is a bonus.
@JerredM9315048 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #26
Restrooms were clean and well maintained. Host was very friendly and helpful. Overall campgrounds are nice and enjoyable with different sites that are accommodating to many types of campers.
@AnnieW82FE24C9 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #21
This site is very level with newer picnic tables. It has decent AT&T signal. It has some shade during the day. It is described as a double site. We had two trailers in it, and it was a tight fit. There are wider double sites (and some not labeled as doubles) in the campground.
@LindaR3889509 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #35
This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we've visited. Our tent site was secluded and surrounded by aspen trees. The views east across the valley were spectacular. The stars at night seemed incredibly close and bright. Several major trails into the mountains behind the campground begin at the end of the campground. The facilities were clean and the camp host was most accommodating and helpful. Alvarado is a great place.

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.
