@TrinaD73B0357A · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #18

The camp host was very nice and knowledgeable. The sites are well spaced out and pretty quiet. There are no showers here though.

Fantastic Campsite Experience!We had a wonderful stay at this campsite! The restrooms were clean, and the customer service was excellent. Mike and Marian are superb hostsso welcoming and helpful.We especially enjoyed the fireworks show from the campsite! It would be even better if a few trees were trimmed to improve the view, but overall, our stay was fun, relaxing, and memorable.Well definitely be coming back!

Site 023 was decent. Its a little bit away from the parking spot, at least compared to other sites. Its also a gradual decline the whole way to the tent area which became a workout for my out of shape self, haha. Its on the edge of the campground, kinda close to site 022 and 021. Lots of nature around which causes a lot of noises at night. Saw deer, cats, groundhogs, and a spider that will chase you lol.The reason for the 2 stars is because the host was nowhere to be found the whole time. Upon arriving, there was another camper also in search for the host but never could find. Hours later we searched again and even tried calling but was unable to find/reach them once again. Since we couldnt buy firewood from the host, we had to leave everything to go to town and buy some which was cheaper anyway. I think a bundle at the site was $10 each. The store we found was like $7/bundle.Bathrooms were super clean the whole time we were there. This was also on a Wednesday so less traffic there.

This place was clean and comfortable - and double stars for well-lit, clean bathrooms WITH running water and flushing toilets!! The only critique I have is for other campers- I was shocked at how many people ( 3 separate sites, to be exact) that were loud and obnoxious well past midnight. These weren't young folks either- I'm talking about 40 to 60 year olds with barky little dogs, raucous laughter and a gambling extravaganza until 2 am.... People please, be mindful that we are OUTDOORS and noise carries. Be respectful of the other campers and keep it down. If you want to party all night, rent a house!

@BrendonRFD04DA · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #4

Mike was an amazing host. The cleanest campground Ive ever been to. Very taken care of by him. I would recommend this campground to anyone who enjoys camping. Not specifically a spaced out campground, but great for parties and having a fun time!

@TeresaM2076490 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #17

I love this campground. Its within 10-15 minutes to a grocery or restaurant. The camp host was very nice and welcoming. Its also a very well kept campground. Ive been camping here for about over 10 years. I will be back!

@MustafaT843E2F · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #14

It is safe, clean and very green. We very like it.

@DianaH4256118 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #10

Camp host was friendly and helpful. Site was beautiful. Some shade. Lots of sun. Great spot to view fireworks. Close to shopping and restaurants. Beautiful trees and great hiking trail.

@AnaNBC4732C358 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #17

Loved it here!Our camp host was so nice and attentive!Restrooms were always cleaned! Will come again!

@AudreyZ3B17C6D · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very clean camp host was amazing and checked in on us.

@CliffY40583070 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #10

This area was 50% shaded, which was perfect for us. When we went in April, there were plenty of silkworms streaming down from the trees, so be aware! Or camp host was very nice and kind, we had an issue with someone taking our camping spot, but he went around asking each site for us and resolved the situation with no problems.Firewood is $8 a bundle, but it's better to burn wood that was gathered closest to the area. The bathrooms are close, but not close enough to hear anyone using it. They are very clean!I'll definitely be coming back to this campground in the future!

@PatrickM390922 · Camped on Sep 24, 2023 at Campsite #22

Very relaxing stay. Campsite was great, and the camp host was very attentive. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away for a few days.

@JoseG1304798 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #18

Great site with great views. The spot for your tent and fire pit is a short maybe 30-40 yard hike down the hill, but that makes for good spacing between neighbors. Just be aware of that if you sleep in your vehicle. Decent bathrooms, drinkable water near the site, and the views make for a great visit. Awesome host too.

@RebeccaC264620 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #25

The camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean (though there is no hand soap, so bring your own!), but our site did not have any shade and was on a slight slant.

@EvaLF7546E6CDA · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #5

The campground was good, and very clean. Host was great. And we enjoyed time at Lake Gregory, which was about 30 minutes away.

@NereidaA128740 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #20

We really enjoyed our first camping experience here. Host was great and helped us with any questions we had. We will definitely come back.

@johnj3134199 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #19

space was very roomy

@YalitzeCE5A741 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #4

Host Dennis was a great help! Tried to find him at the end but wasn't able to say thank you in person. Thank you Dennis!!! We will be back

@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #26

spaces are very good

@AndreaP9571578 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #19

We were at site 19. It was a nice place with some shade, close to bathrooms, and decent parking spot. When we arrived the camp host was off duty , well according to his sign. It was our first time there and I just wanted to ask for some sort of map or guidance (like they offer at Big Bear) and his initial response was “I’m off duty “ when I was approaching him. Then, I guess he felt bad because he was rude and offered to give me directions. The camp site next to is #20 was up all hours of the night so I m not sure if quiet hours are enforced. It didn’t help that the camp host joined them . If it wasn’t for the fact that my kids love camping -I would have left after that first night. We did see ground moles , deers, blue jays and some lizards. Other than that it was an ok experience for my kids and I.

@IvanG2580487 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #9

Very nice campground and clean restrooms (no handsoap or paper towels, so bring your own!) Friendly camphost! The nearby trail (I think its called North Shore National Recreation Trail) was overgrown. I came here a few years ago and the trail was not overgrown. Also, Lake Arrowhead is a private lake. We were able to visit Lake Gregory about 11 miles away. Great time overall. Definitely recommend!

@IanW4277699 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #22

Great location! The campsite site itself felt secluded due to the surrounding trees and bushes between our site and other sites. We found a nearby playground for the kids to play in, and we also found a dog park nearby for the dogs to run off-leash. Plus there's a nice trail down to a creek big enough to swim in. We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to come back!

@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #18

Pinnacles hike is very nice

@MichaelT862538 · Camped on May 17, 2023 at Campsite #26

@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
