Our camp host Daniel was very informative and helpful . We will continue coming back to this magical place.

Our family at a wonderful experience at site 11. Facility was well kept, the camp ground was beautiful, and Dan the camp ranger was helpful. The running water next to the camping site made was the highlight of the trip.

Such a lovely campground, we stayed in stop 004 which at the time was secluded and separated from the other campers which was lovely, it was also pretty flat and even. The river was so great, lovely to read next to and Im sure nice to take a dip in. Toilets were as clean as can be expected, just a lot of flies but I get why. It was well enough situated for us for our 2 night stay, we may have struggled to figure out what to do close by if we had stayed longer though. Overall, such a lovely campground, and I would stay again.

very nice site. Camp host was very helpful! Best parts: the creek was beautiful. Very clean camp site and helpful camp host!Worst parts: stinky bathrooms and while the camp host was away on his weekend the trash cans were very full.

@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #6

This is such an amazing spot. Quiet, and tranquil, tucked away past a little town. Theirs is a little creek that runs through. Unfortunately I didnt fully check the location prior to our trip, so we only stayed one night as we were heading into sequoia during the days. We could have driven back each day but it would have been about a 2 hour drive each way and I didnt want to waste that much time just getting to our tent. We will be back though, the whole family wants to explore the area more

@Rigoberto6FAA8 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #11

This place its good for people that really want to relax. Our campsite was very spacious and very close to the river. Other campsites are very close to each other this its more private. It was our first camping experience and we loved Belknap I will definitely go back with my kids next time.

@haleyc64303B05 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #12

Loved camping here, the camp host was wonderful and access to the creek and forest were so great!

@CythiaHE5002D7 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #13

This is hands down my favorite campsite. The location is unmatched. Sleeping under giant sequoias, right next to the creek/swimming hole (which makes for the best running water white noise at night), and secluded enough from the road that youre not hearing everything. On top of that, this is genuinely one of the cleanest campsites Ive ever been to - and thats including the toilet. Seriously, one of the cleanest. The camp host is so nice, Ive been to this campsite multiple years in a row and hes always so welcoming and is so knowledgeable about the area.

@MaxJEA72D4D184 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #11

Absolutely stunning campsite - nestled among Sequoia and pine trees, with a beautiful crystal clear creek down below. The camp host was friendly too and keeps the place in great shape. Highly recommend!

@juliusbE2BE555 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #13

need to repair fire pit movable grate.

@KevinK9789719 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #4

The site was clean and beautiful, very well maintained. We also stayed an extra night at Quaking Aspen Campground which was spectacular.

@LeoICFAA92BC5A · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #4

Campsite and campground was well maintained and clean. Camp host was very helpful pointing out different hiking trails around the campground. There is a general store about a mile away from the campground.

@AdrianaG430255 · Camped on Jul 28, 2025 at Campsite #3

This is an amazing spot. More than we could imagine, the river is beautiful, the spot is perfect.

@MaryT1149779 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #9

One of the cleanest campgrounds Ive ever been to. Dan, the camp host, is awesome.

@JoseM9624235 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #14

Daniel, the camp host, was so friendly and approachable. The sites were not too close to each other that we felt like everyone was into our business. It was beautiful. Well maintained. Good sources of water. Cleanest pit toilets Ive ever used. Exactly what we needed.

@manur6E9F8AC1A · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #10

Great spot, near the river and beautiful Sequoias.

@manur6E9F8AC1A · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #9

The campsite is great! Beautiful Sequoias and peaceful stream with spots to jump in the water, although its cold!! The park ranger was super helpful with a lot of recommendations. There is a gas station next to the fire station, make sure you top off gas if you are going to be exploring, as there are no other gas stations that we could find. We will come back!

@BryanG7165494 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #10

Perfectly situated campground next to trails and a beautiful creek. Well managed and excellent camp host.

@AntjeMD81110AE · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #13

Belknap was one of the best campgrounds I have ever been to. It is so quiet and peaceful. Campsite 13 was right by the creek. All campsites are very spacious and have room for more than just one tent. The campground host Dan is very helpful. He let us know about the swim hole nearby, and a short hike that led us by huge sequoias. Dan took good care of the campground. He kept the bathrooms very clean and raked the sites. There are vault toilets and potable water at the campground and firewood can be bought from the host. About 2 miles away there is a little store for food etc. The only sad thing is that you will see quite a bit of a burnt area surrounding the campground when hiking in the area. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved this place.

@EthanS84CB6529 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #3

Very cool camp site had a lot of fun with my friends. The main guy at the camp told us about some trails and swimming holes around. Super cool and peaceful

@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #11

The camp host Dan is the best. We've been coming here for years, so its great seeing him year after year, and he takes great care of the sites and facilities. This place wouldn't be the same without him and he makes the campsite 5 Stars instead of maybe 4 if he weren't around.

@ClaireS1336639 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #15

Such a hidden gem among giant sequoias! Cant miss this spot with multiple hiking trails a walk away, a huge swimming hole, and great camp host, Daniel! Will 100% be back. No service (I have Verizon) but be sure to check out Pierpoint hotel and restaurant for free wifi, great food, and friendly people!

@AdamT4806551 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #10

The campsites are really slanted but that wasnt my biggest problem. Despite checking two separate times, I was eventually told that I was still not and lost my campsite. There was no service so I couldnt answer a call but on the voice message they stated I wasnt present at the campsite even though I was there. Very frustrating experience.

@GaryH6725051 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #14

Belknap is great. Giant Red woods were great. Best part about this campground is no motor homes or trailers allowed.

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
