Beautiful campground right by the creek. We had two bears visit late at night. They moved on quickly because we had no food outside for them.

My favorite campground in Colorado.

The only issue that detracted from a perfect camping experience was the host (Eddie) running a noisy, smelly generator every evening for a few hours. He was friendly enough & did a good job keeping the vault toilets & sites clean, but who would have thought the host would need to be told to use a quieter generator or use a sound deflector to minimise the noise.

Restrooms and sites very clean. No cell reception for Verizon customers.

This is a beautiful location with a first rate camp host.

This is our favorite campground! So peaceful, sadly the vault toilets were full! Leftover from last year! Was rather disgusting! Who do we contact to get those emptied out?
@AndreaA2413770 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #9
Campground hosts were nice. Bathroom was clean and didnt stink. Quiet weekend.
@RuthM6239EF8AE · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nice, quiet, clean campground.
@NickG3725346 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #10
Amazing spot! Loved the facilities (bear proof trash and storage, vault toilets). Great shade and privacy. Great access to the creek.
@TammyB8618652 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #8
This camp ground is amazing. It has the stream running through it. Caught some trout in it. This was out second year. It has become our new favorite place to camp
@KarenL1374189 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #7
Love this campground! It's small but there is lots of space between most campsites. We had reserved Sites #9 and #7 to make a four-day stay, but when #11 was open upon arrival, we changed to that site so we would not have to move after the first 2 nights. Perfect site with lots of open space and shade for our pups. There is also shade at most sites, but the direct sun during the day can be pretty hot! There are 2 pit toilets, clean and well stocked and many sites are right next to the roaring creek. The campground host, Sherri, was amazing! She was friendly but not intrusive, and cared about people's camping experience. We were there to escape week-long fireworks going on before the 4th of July and stayed until the 5th. Cisneros Trail is an easy walk from the campground, as are Lake Isabel, and the extensive Day-Use picnic area also running along the creek. None of these were crowded. Lots of places to walk the dogs. We plan on returning for sure.

Sherry was the most hospitable camp host weve had the pleasure of meeting. Were coming back!!!
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #7
Quiet campground. Great to be able to go to sleep with the sound of the St. Charles River right behind our RV. Lake Isabel offered good fishing & kayaking. Our site has plenty of shade & privacy. Bishops Castle is 20 mins down the road. Would book again.
@LarsB2686584 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #12
Very clean campground and a few recreational trails nearby.
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #12
The sites were a bit on the small side. Definitely be careful what equipment youre bringing. Otherwise it was amazing

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!!!
