The campground is very clean and a short walk to the lake. Views are beautiful and if you are lucky you will be able to see a bald eagle that nests across the lake. Also, lots of quail and Canada geese.

Very fun campsite!! We were very lucky, there were no other campers in our area. Our site was the closest site to the lake. We were forecasted rain but we got lucky and it didnt rain until the last night. Only downside was there are tons of ticks. We took 7 ticks off our dog.

The site was not cleaned up before we arrived. There was trash everywhere and burnt up logs left in the fire ring. Another group camping at Lupine drove around in a golf card blasting music and yelling all through the campground. Campers were up all night yelling. The bathroom did not have toilet paper.

Great campground! Heather, the Camp Host, was awesome. She was so sweet and helpful. Always a smile and wave when she was out and about. The campground and restrooms were always very clean. I definitely recommend this to everyone!

Loved it. I am definitely coming back. Once I got there at almost 11 pm, they still helped me get checked in. The person who sold me firewood was so helpful. I don't remember her name, but she even carried the firewood to my spot with me. The Lupine hosts and hosts-to-bes really made a great impact in addition to my experience in nature. Thank you!

Great spot - large and spacious, easy, toilets are pretty clean and well stocked. Not too far for a day trip to Yosemite.

Good spot but a little small and close to other sites, easy, toilets are pretty clean and well stocked. Not too far for a day trip to Yosemite.

Our camp host Robert was incredibly helpful and kind.

Amazing spot. Beautiful even in the off season. Robbie was super nice and helpful. Bring cash for firewood

Campground staff was friendly and helpful. I tented on the hill and had a great experience. One fully functioning bathroom was maintained well. Would recommend this site.

Our campsite was great and the lake was beautiful. Only thing I would change is going on a warmer time or preparing better for the cold, it was freezing!! The guy that checked us in was nice and the people around were welcoming. Lots of warnings about bears and how to protect your food so be prepared because you might encounter a bear, but people said they're friendly. I didn't personally encounter one. Bathrooms are clean and have the essentials; toilet paper, running water, and hand soap (good quality too!) The recreation center was about 15 minutes away but the drive was fun and beautiful. There you'll see a bougie restaurant, a market, kayaking, coffee shop, and a couple other restaurants and shops. Everything was amazing just plan your trip right and be prepared.

Great visit
@ReneS5042EA92F · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #72
Bring earplugs! I thought since we went towards the end of the season, the site would be pretty sparsely populated but we ended up next to a total party site that blasted EDM well into the evening. Apart from that, the nature was beautiful! If you're into bird-watching, you can see grackles, quails, hawks and jays (just to name a few) around the area in the morning. Short and pretty drive up north to the part of the national forest where the sequoias are. Even though some areas were closed off when we went, we still experienced quite a bit of the unique locales available in the area. The Forks Resort is also a very convenient place to stock up on supplies and grab a bite to eat after a hike.

We had an amazing time! Even though there was a nearby chaotic campsite. the issue was addressed and taken care of from the camp host.

It would have 5 if it has shower room

@ArpyS0B8224437 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #108
We come here twice a year, but our last visit was not the best experience. Campsite 109 had more than the allowed amount of people and they did not respect quiet hours AT ALL. There was no camp-host or security monitoring the sites and we did not feel safe approaching them to keep the music down or stop yelling, shouting and laughing at 4 am every morning. Avoid booking sites near end of season unless youre THAT group who doesn't care or respect other campers.
Excellent
@TimW5397967 · Camped on Sep 11, 2025 at Campsite #82
This is the way a site like this should be run. We were greeted by the camp host upon entry and all accommodations were made for us immediately. Our campsite was marked with a little re-useable license plate that had our name and the time we would be staying clearly written out. We enjoyed camping here and would highly recommend it to all campers.

My wife and 2 kids and I came up to lupine for Labor day weekend. The campsite in very nice as its right across the road from Bass Lake. Everyone was very cool and the Hosts Mary & Tony were super nice and our kids enjoyed seeing all the bear pictures from the campsite. WE has campsite #93.The campsite was up on a hill and pretty secluded which was nice. The campsite is also not real level so one really big tent or maybe 2 large/medium tents could fit. The only issues we had with it is the pictures of the site are not very accurate or detailed. What is not shown in the pictures is a steep hill that leads directly into the campsite. The hill is somewhat slippery as its just powdered dirt, rocks, and pine cones. The hill made loading and unloading our equipment quite abit harder. Also the parking for site #93 is not really near the campsite itself. Its a decent walk from the parking lot to the site. Despite this we had a good time and enjoyed the weekend. WE would have maybe given it 5 stars if there was showers on the property, but sadly there were not.

There are active bears in the camp so it's very important to keep your camp clean and please lock the trash containers after you throw trash away. We heard bears in the trash containers late at night very close (75 feet) to our camp - we keep a very clean camp so that was some peace of mind. Mid-week it was really quiet. Then came the weekend and on both sides of us were large groups. One rolled in at 7pm and set up camp and the other at 9pm and stayed up partying until 2am and did not clean up their camp. The location is lovely. The people on the weekends that are rude and obnoxious not so much. We were there on a very hot weekend. Did not cool down until 8pm and it was buggy. The lake was beautiful and we had a beach all to ourselves one day. The kids loved it so we will likely be back, but we will stay away from peak season when all the irritating people come out. Camp hosts were nice and the camp was clean when without people. Flush toilets, but no showers which didn't help with the hot sticky days. No bear boxes so you have to put everything in your car. Surprised bears have not figured out there is food in cars yet, but the ones that were very close to our car did not.

Great campsite and wonderful host. Didnt see any bears. Had geese and quail come through our campsite the second night. Bathrooms are very clean as well. The only complaint I have is how noisy the lake is

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
