So many things to recommend about this campground. It was so quiet. (We were there M-R in mid August so that may have had something to do with it.) Most of the sites are quite large and in good condition. The bathrooms were clean. The campground was clean. I credit the camp host (Patti) for the good condition. She was quite visible (but never intrusive) going about her host duties. There were concerns about bears (noted in other reviews) and Patti warned us about them, but told us what we needed to know to be "bear aware," and we had zero problems. There is a little general store a mile away with delightful people and inexpensive firewood and bags of ice and other small amenities that are nice to have nearby. The drive to the campground is also very pleasant and easy.

Quiet and clean bathrooms.

@Stephanie92932 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #25

Camp host patty was extraordinaire in her duties and presence! Loved that the fire trucks came through daily and the ranger kept track of coolers and food that needed to put up from bears. Campsites were clean and nice views of the lake.

@MicheleL157153 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #44

This was a great camping experience. The site was clean when I got therw. Patty, the camp host, was wonderful. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and so sweet and friendly. I have nothing bad to say about the whole time I was there

@KirkD7004270 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #5

Inconsistent restroom cleanliness. Campsites a bit too close to each other.

@KarenR20722329 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #17

Concerns of too many bears. Apparently there had been sightings every evening so that took a little pleasure out of our camping trip

@KennethB453248 · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #1

Enjoyed the campground but was a little put off on the parking rules eg: my brother who had a spot ad couldnt walk was not able to just park at my spot for a little bit without paying extra even though I only had my tv in the spot

@AshleyL4614567 · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #32

We reserved two campsites for our group camping trip. One of the sites was on a hill so most folks wanted to stay at the site that was located on a flat area. The camp host told us if we didnt camp at one of the sites than we would lose it, even if we paid for it and reserved it. Absolutely made no sense. Then the folks camping next to us were blasting Lord Huron all night not like a cycle of their songs, just the same two songs over and over again. We went to bed around 11 and people were screaming at another camp site until 1 and the lord Huron folks set their Tesla truck off 3 times at 3 in the morning. This was the noisiest most annoying campground we have stayed at by far. I would pick somewhere else before I came back here. To top it off, when we awoke in the morning, the Tesla truck folks blasted Lord Huron again at 8 in the friggin morning.

Site 27 has excellent water access, but also meant other campers were going through the site. Flat options for tents were limited. They were having water issues the weekend we were there, so no potable water available. They had bottled water for free or directed us to a nearby campground to fill containers. No bear lockers available, but apparently there was bear activity so we had to stash food in our cars under a blanket. No issues there.

@BridgetRCC16B5 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #26

Really liked the campsite and proximity to the lake but having no bear boxes and bears in the campsite every night was not ideal.

@MaryF8191441 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #1

All I can say is Recreation.gov is horrible! I needed to switch campsites and with the full approval of the camp host but Recreation.gov stole my payment!

@JeniferC364547 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #9

Loop 1, space 9. Beautiful and CLEAN! Appears all sites have a lot of room/space and very private. Quarter showers were clean!!! Patty, our camp host was the best! She provided us with a ton of information and was always so kind. She is the BEST!

@HaleyB04F73B0A · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #58

This site was too sloped to be great for setting up a tent, though many other spots in our loop looked fine. We were disappointed to see the restrooms with running water were out of order. Instead there were portapotties that were badly in need of service and out of toilet paper. We decided to enjoy the lake for the day and then just head home.

@KendraAA78E265 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #9

We had a wonderful time! Site 9 has a level spur and one or two level areas for tents but the fire pit area is on a hill, which is awkward. The host is SO KIND and wonderful at her job. Other campers observed quiet hours w their generators. I love exploring this area of california. It is beautiful. No motor boats allowed on the lake so its very peaceful. Sites are quite large. Multiple bathrooms and a coin shower available. However, I really wish they had bear boxes!!! This encourages responsible camping. Bc there are bears in the area, we had to pack up the truck every day. One of us has a back injury and the other has a should injury so this was a real pain that bear boxes would help with (we had to unload the truck each day to take it out exploring.) We will be back!

@DeenaAC1DA3C75 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #10

The campsite host was very nice and helpful. The campsites we clean and everyone was friendly. A lot of knots at night but no bees. Coming back

@RobertL7452920 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #16

Very clean showers and restrooms. The Camp Host was frequently checking the area so was doing a fine job.

@TracyA4518351 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #27

The camp ground is very nice and well maintained, buy it would be great to have metal bear boxes at each site as there are definitely bears roaming the grounds at night. The area is excellent (lake, woods, trails)!

@DanaE2154296 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #24

Had a very relaxing time. Campground lightly used for June. Midweek stay. Looking forward to next time.

@HaleyMCE9C1F3E · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #38

This is a very nice campground. We love it there. Some of the spots are way too close together. The fire rings between us (38) and our neighbors (39) were maybe 30 feet apart and it was a little too close for our comfort. Other spots weve stayed at had more privacy.

@MurryWC286BE7A · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #1

The camp sites were clean and so were the restrooms. The camp host was friendly. She stopped by to let us know about the ammenities of the campgrounds.

@RitaS7165023 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #38

We enjoyed staying at this campground. It was quiet and our site had nice access to the water where we enjoyed swimming and kayaking with our granddaughter.

@NoahB4207838 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #60

Love this campground! Site 60 is a nice site. Hosts were very nice too. In loop 3 the restrooms were closed for repairs and sounds like they will be for a bit. The dump station is too expensive for what it is.Very shady campground. Some sites are very sloped so just something to be aware of. Bears visited us so again, just something to be aware of.

@RodSA97F41D7B4 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #38

The Camphost Patty was a great. The camp was very clean, and well cared for.

@JillF1296461 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #64

Lovely campground, on a lovely lake! Camp hosts are friendly and attentive. Sites are well spaced. Some sites are more suitable for tents than others. Loops 1&2 have lovely restrooms. My biggest gripe is that loop 3, which has the ADA site only has porta potties right now. It makes it much less accessible, and isn't noted on the website, so it's something to be aware of when reserving a site

@DennisH3714812 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #9

Absolutely beautiful and quiet campground! The host was very friendly and helpful. My only reason for four stars was the ten Buffalo gnats/No-see-ems bites I got. Very painful and swollen for over a week!! Plumas News said they werent out yet. We did take precautions, but they got all of us! Ill avoid May/June next time!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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
