Great campground in a beautiful area. Restrooms were very clean. Drinking water readily available. Camp spots are well separated so you have some privacy. Lots of nice hiking trails nearby. Overall the campground is clean and appears well maintained. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the camp spots are really better for RVs and trailers. There didnt seem to be any good flat spots for tents that werent on rocks, at least in and around spot 25. Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground

We had an amazing time at this campsite. The bathrooms are very clean. Lots of hiking and fishing surrounding the area.

We cant say enough about this campground. The hosts were super welcoming and accommodating!! It was beautiful, spacious, and the bathrooms were kept immaculately clean and actually smelled nice, with an added touch of hand sanitizer! The toilet paper was thicker than all other campgrounds weve ever been to. We will definitely make this our go to family campground from here on out.

Camp hosts were great! Place was clean and pretty. I unfortunately didnt have the best neighbors. Lots of loud generators, kind of ruined the peaceful atmosphere.

Lots of space between campsites, campground was well maintained, restrooms nice and clean with no smell. Late May/Early June stay with only about 30% of campsites occupied. We caught a Brown Trout fish in the adjacent Elk Creek but alas only one. Campground hosts helpful and were out and about to check on things regularly. There is no water for RV fill-ups with a hose but there were plenty of drinking water fill-up spots. We got RV tank water in Antonito at City Hall. Dump at a local RV park. Later in summer the wildflowers are stupendous! Highly recommend!

Perfectly situated near a few beautiful hiking trails and fishing opportunities at Elk Creek and the Conejos River. Loved our stay her. Our spot was perfect, on the river. Although the private property fence line and signs detracted from some gorgeous photo opportunities.

Camp ground was well maintained and hosts were very helpful and nice. Elk Creek is one of our favorite campgrounds, lots to do in the area.
@JessicaS159432 · Camped on May 26, 2024 at Campsite #1
This campsite was surprisingly quiet during a holiday weekend, despite being full. We had a site right on the river that was beautiful! I have also never seen such pristine bathrooms at a campground! Would definitely come back here.

@KevinD6271011 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #27
Dry camped at site 18 for two weeks in early August - enjoyed our ridiculously large, secluded space. Deer regularly passed through. Nearly level site, close to the very clean vault toilets. Amazing stars!
@JeffG6611372 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #27

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!!!
