Campground was amazing and super friendly camp host. Definitely planning on visiting again only next time we will probably pick a different site. Our campsite (51) had a pretty intense incline to it. Other than that, had a great time swimming and walking around the lake with my pup.

It is our first camping trip here. Sites are spacious with lots of trees & shade. Appreciate the clean & stocked bathroom & firewood delivery service offered by the host. Me & family had the most amazing time & look forward to coming back again!

Overall, I liked the campground a lot. Lot 20 has plenty of shade throughout the day due to a lot of trees in the area. The ground is flat in the main area. My issue with this campground and the other two on Lake Davis is that there are no bear boxes. During our stay there was a momma bear and three cubs getting into peoples stuff. Overall good experience though.

Camp sites were relatively spacious and flat. Bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper. At least one RV camper was running a generator for a few hours and even though they seemed far away, the noise really carried. There's heavy bear activity in this area and I was surprised by the lack of bear lockers.

Wider and better maintained RV spaces than were used to, a store close by for those forgotten items, and easy to get to from Reno.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

Our campsite overall was in good shape. However, the picnic table hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The top was pretty dirty and sticky. The men's/women's restrooms had toilet tissue packed so tight on the tissue bar that you could not roll out the tissue. This caused numerous pieces of tissue to be on the floor. Apparently, Royal Oak no longer allows a camp host to occupy the camp house site across from site number one.

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!!!
