Great experience, very efficient and well maintained sites!

Serene Stay Tucked in the Trees. The campground was clean and well-maintained, with spacious sites in the trees that offered just enough privacy while still a short walk from amenities. Waking up surrounded by nature made each morning feel peaceful and unrushed.

Very scenic, roomy site, nice camp store just before you get there, great for those items you realized are sitting nicely on the kitchen counter, so you dont forget them.
@TerryG6407300 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #B130
Great tent camp site and not crowded
@KennethW7A35BA · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #A43
Shenandoah campgrounds are A++
@Elizabeth37674 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #A34
Nice campground with good facilities and easy access, both from the road and from trails. We would have preferred a little more space in between camp sites, but we understand the space restrictions in the park. Overall we had a very nice visit and would definitely camp here again!
@christopherh24 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #A45
Clean facilities. Site layouts vary considerably. A045 was ok, but there were much better options. The table is quite close to the firepit, which poses a challenge if you have a canopy or screen house given that the rest of the site is sloped up to the tent pad (which itselve is fairly rocky) Brand new bear food lockers installed in many of the sites, including this one.. Walking access to Overall Falls trail run (about 2 miles each way from edge of camp) -- all in all a great experience.

Overall this was a nice night. We showed up in the evening and stayed one night before going into the backcountry. There was some noise after the 10 pm quiet hours but it wasnt too bad. Its nice to have running water at the bathrooms.
@DeidreD1FD703E · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #C150
The staff could not have been nicer and my camp hosts were amazing. I did however eat about 10 gnats and there were ticks absolutely everywhere.
@gregoryZ459ADC · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #B139
Beautiful setting, well maintained, very peaceful and quiet.
@jefft6301969 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #A8
Great campground! We loved our stop-over here.
@LuzviLyn64FAFD · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #A58
We really liked this spot for its privacy. Our 10x10 tent fit nicely on the paved area. The site includes a long picnic table, a fire pit, and a locker for storing food and your cooler. The restrooms are just a short walk away.If you need ice or firewood, theres a convenient store just past Matthews Arm.
@AdamK2705815 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #A53
Nice site. Tent stayed dry as it is elevated spot. Bathrooms clean, wish they had showers. Loved the park and the rangers were helpful
@JosephG1100021 · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #B139
Site B139 was very nice. Tent pad was set back and made it feel a little private. We had extreme rainfall the first 40 hours and the site flooded quite a bit. A stream formed through our tent pad. Definitely think twice if Flash Flood Warning is in the forecast. The campground was beautiful and bathroom facilities were nice (when open). Would stay here again.
@GabiL25C29CD4B · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #B130
Sites had platform for tents.
@KristinD106931 · Camped on Nov 2, 2024 at Campsite #A37
Had an enjoyable evening under the stars with my nephew. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
@AnaR1013249 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #A26
Great for beginner campers! The campgrounds are pretty close together so you won't feel to secluded. Bathroom is great condition, lovely fire pits, lots of parking, and honestly some awesome trails starting right from the campground
@GabrielT41F793 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #C151
Beautiful views, kind neighbors- amazing spot to camp at.
@GwendolynE14DD · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #B123
Loved the privacy of the sites. Enjoyed several iof the hikes from our campsite without having to get in the car.
@DanielP5943638 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #A59
Very nice experience. I highly recommend choosing a campsite in the "no generator" section, which is on the outer loop. These sites have more privacy and back up to the woods.
@jeffreys172959 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #A50
Campsites aren't huge, but nicely shaded. Wish they had more bathroom stalls; will be fine if you're in a trailer that has a bathroom, but if you have to use the campground bathroom you might need to wait
@MarthaC12DA70C · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #B125
Campsite was well-maintained, and bathrooms were quite sufficient despite not having showers. Everyone there was so friendly, and the campsite had a few walking trails within the premises that were lovely to explore.
@CathyR8798847 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #B123
We stayed two nights in B123 and then one night in A101. For us, 30' TT, the A101 has a better spot for us. The park is beautiful and has great access to trails. We attended the ranger program on Thursday evening which provided great history of the park.
@VictorH1798614 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #C162
Very well maintained campground. Made for a wonderful adventure.
@KatieE6430371 · Camped on Oct 22, 2024 at Campsite #A18
My friend and I had a wonderful time at Mathews Arm Campground. We camped there in the off-season, in the final days before it closed for the fall. Everyone we interacted with was so kind, from campground hosts to rangers. Thank you for a nice stay.

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.
