The campground is clean and the vault toilet is clean with a plastic bag for trash, wish there is hand sanitizer provided. There are little lizard around at night but didnt affect stay.

We were very impressed with this campground. It is a gorgeous setting- the morning sunlight on the mountains is magical! It is very well maintained. The vault bathroom are the cleanest Ive seen and they provided plenty of wood for purchase if needed. The camp host was friendly and helpful. The sites are well organized and easy to find. We will definitely be back!

Kathy, the camp host, was excellent! Great attitude and ready to help if needed. The grounds were well-maintained. AND, no one around us had a generator!!

What a beautiful campground. The lake and surrounding mountains are a sight to behold. Two things struck me about this campground. The vault toilets were very clean and all of the campers were quiet and respectful of other campers. A very quiet and relaxing place.

Very shallow for fishing but beautiful!
@SaraK4352523 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #11
Site 11 was wonderful. Easy path right to the beach. Two families with lots of room for tents and hammocks. We did not hear generator noise and had a great time.
@DanL7708727 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #22

Beautiful scenery quiet and very clean campground. Cleanest bathrooms around and helpful hosts (Cassie and Claire)
@AncaP1873870 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #11
Another great stay at this beautiful lakealways a favorite spot!The peaceful setting and natural beauty never disappoint.The only downside this time was the generator running all day at the managers site. While it was turned off at 10 PM in line with quiet hours (which we appreciated), the constant daytime noise was distractingespecially with a large solar panel available. Hopefully, this can be improved to keep the atmosphere as relaxing as it should be.
@Stephanie19185 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #20
Campground was great and there is a lake front trail to walk. Beautiful area, just be bear aware.
@TylerP1624363 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #11
Beautiful !
@MilesM6737243 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #11
The camp host ran their generator 12 hours each day. Come out to nature and hear the sound of a machine non-stop.
@SarahM1574964 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #18
I really enjoyed my stay at Stanley Lake. The views of the mountain and lake were stunning. The campsite has been raked smooth when I arrived. The bathroom was no-frills, but always clean with a stock of toilet paper, and the camp host was really nice and welcoming. It was also really quiet and peaceful, perfect to unwind (Mid-week, early June). No cell service at the site itself. I will definitely return.
@MechelleACD93E · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #15
We loved it here! Of all of the place we went on our 9 day trip this was our favorite. Clean, well-maintained. Very dog friendly with great dog walking trails. Beautiful.
@KiraR1453DB6A3 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #7
Beautiful campground. Our spot was right on the lake. Kathy, the campground host was very helpful.
@JANMF6B372C7C1 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #22
New camp host doing excellent job. Campground in great condition, lots of cleanup done, considering fires last fall.
@StacyS8421781 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #15
We had an amazing stay and so lucky to enjoy such a beautiful, magical place. So thankful we had the opportunity before the fire!!
@JeffreyM593003 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #10
Clean and spacious campsite with direct access to the lake shore and beautiful views of the Sawtooth mountains. Conveniently located only 9 miles from the town of Stanley. Campground hosts were very helpful as well.
@JIMB8977280 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #21
nice location
@CathyR8798847 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #24
Out of all the camp grounds I have been to in Idaho, this has to be the best by far. The camp host has made that beautiful camp ground spotless. I have never seen, or smelled cleaner bathrooms anywhere. Theres zero trash, just spotless. It was such a pleasure to be at that camp ground, I can hardly wait to go back. If only all the camp hosts in all the other camp grounds could be half as good as this one, hes the gold standard for sure.

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.
