Well-spaced campsites; all facilities very clean; beautiful setting on Lake Davis; frustrating lack of adherence to quiet hours even though the campground appeared to have a host.

It was a wonderful time we spent 3 days there. The whole campground was very clean and maintained. The bathrooms were clean as well. Just a wonderful place to stay

Beautiful area, lots of trees, quiet and serene in midweek. Camp host was very helpful and showed pride in in his job. Close to small city (Portola) if you need anything. Great breakfast dive restaurants, .market and gas stations... will be going g back for sure...

Shane, the campground host, is excellent.

To my knowledge, the bathroom was never cleaned. Last year the lower bathrooms were broken and unusable and this year, only one side was usable.

Restrooms were very dirty. Never cleaned in the 5 days we were there. Campground is run down. It needs major repairs.
@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #36
It was very good. Just don't like the spots being small ie one vehicle we had friends that came and visit and had to park outside.
@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024
We enjoyed our stay at Grizzly! The sites are large, level, and surrounded by beautiful trees. A shirt walk through the campground to Lake Davis. Clean bathrooms. Flush toilets. Friendly and helpful host.

Great campground, easy to access Lake Davis, bathrooms were immaculate and the camp hosts were awesome!
@DonaldGC0A0AB2 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024
The lake and campsites were amazing. Very clean! My only recommendation is to have showers and to have flat pads for the campsites that are on a slope, for tents. Camp host was very friendly!
@NatalieR612184 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #22
Grizzly is a quiet campground with spacious sites. Easy walking distance to the water. Sites are always clean and well kept.
@AngelaT4FB39B9 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #39
Camp host was very nice! I have camped here for years and they were some of my favorites! Campsite was awesome! Had the area for a tent all raked out, it was free of garbage and they had buckets at every faucet if needed! Stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful time!
@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #49
Great hosts!

Nice trip
@HenryHF2C1D684 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #16
Nice campground close to the main road, but tucked down the hill where it is nice and peaceful. We came for the Lost and Found Gravel Festival and it was the perfect location to catch all the cyclists heading up into the hills. Wish the bathrooms were stocked with soap and paper towels, but that seems to be the way things are going now. Camp host and rangers were very nice and would stop by to chat. Nice quiet campground next to the lake.

Nice campground, clean bathrooms and great camp host for 2022 season, in the grizzly loop! Will definitely be back!
@ELVISG1382252 · Camped on Aug 25, 2022 at Campsite #28
Great space and everything is very clean
@JosephD5297544 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #36
Grizzly is one of our favorite campgrounds. It would be 5 stars, but Lake Davis is pretty low right now.
@TomF2764999 · Camped on Aug 15, 2022 at Campsite #25
Your lots are not that level and hard to get into. Your piers should be adjusted or removed to allow easier access to the spot. Camp Host was great. He helped a lot of people in our group from church.
@MarieB7186093 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022
It was a nice campground. We definitely need a good winter. It did rain once while we were there which was amazing! I definitely think they need bear containers. We’re tent campers and felt uncomfortable keeping our food out!
The sites are spacious. The bathrooms were ok.
@KacyG4636263 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #20
Campsite was good; we were close to a bald eagle nest. However, on our trip, the potable water had been contaminated so we needed to bring in our own. Bathrooms and showers (in neighboring Honker Cove) were clean and neighboring campers were respectful of quiet times.
@ValerieD280996 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #44
There was no fresh water available. It would have been good to get a message about this before we arrived as we had to scramble to buy more water. Also, nothing was posted in the campground, we just saw the spouts covered.
@MarvinF1209065 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022
The On-Site Hosts Linda and Kathy were very helpful and pleasant. Laurel the Site Manager was an excellent resource for information on the Pluma Recreation Area.

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.

@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!!!
