It was clean and great campsite by the lake

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #2

This is a great campground. It's close to the water. Unfortunately, it's also full of oversized and loud groups on the weekends partying into the AM hours. One of the double sites had two dozen campers and fourteen tents. Another neighboring single site had ten campers, and they used the water spigot as their personal bath, shower, and dishwashing area. I'll return, but only during weekdays.

This campsite has a beautiful view of the lake. So it was very nice to be near water. Definitely would stay here again.

Great time always a blast and beautiful

@JeremyW9900952 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #5

College campground was awesome! The views are beautiful especially the view of the lake from site 005. The campground is only 10 sites big, so it feels small and secluded. The water was pretty cold, but dipped our feet in and got acclimated within a few minutes. Nights were chilly, so bring a warm sleeping bag. But in the meantime, stay warm by the campfire!Bathrooms were surprisingly cleaner than expected! Overall, the campground was well taken care of.

Running water with a flushable toilet. The lake was near and stock with plenty of fish. We had a blast here.

@MalyYC14635DB7 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #10

We are a family of 24 people and we reserved 4 campsites the first week of June. This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. The camp host were awesome; they came around multiple times to make sure the flushing bathroom were clean. There was faucet water nearby the campsite so it made cleaning dishes, self, etc so much easier. Huntington Lake was amazing! There is a little sandy spot that the kids were able to go in for a quick swim. Well definitely reserve this place again next summer.

We stayed at College consecutive Thursdays in June. The bathrooms at College are amazing -- clean and well maintained. Our campsite, however, was found strewn with trash both times; not cleaned or prepared prior to our arrival either time (the reservation placard was still written for the previous occupant who had left several days earlier, so not sure a host had even been through the sites in days). The BBQ grills in our double site were broken off of both fire pits. Despite the unfortunate trash situation, College is a great place to camp.

@ChrisK2AD0F4DC · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #4

College campground is close to the lake shore and has good shade.

@BeckyXC094B124 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #9

Small campground with one flushing toilet restroom and one vault restroom. Site 9 is near the vault restroom, so it sometimes it was a little stinky. Overall, beautiful views of Huntington Lake during the daytime and stargazing at nighttime. Campsite had enough bushes and shrubs for privacy. There were plenty of water spigots around the campground.

@ShaharK987C64D · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #5

Excellent location- near the lake, water tap near by, beutiful place!Only downside- it was extremely cold at night (beggining of september)

@PatrickM390922 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #3

Great campground. Moderately wooded for some shade, yet clear enough for good views of the lake and mountains. (Beetle kill over the past 10 years took out about 70% of the trees. Very few bugs, Close to the lakeshore, for easy access to a short beach we keep our sailboat and kayak at during our visit. Well maintained facilities. Easy access to stream fishing on Big Creek, although very few fish in my experience since the Big Creek fire in 2020. Mono Hot Springs (45 drive over rugged Kaiser Pass) is always an adventurous trip. Good fishing at S. Fork San Juaquin River upstream from the hot springs. Beautiful hiking near the lake, but recommend Kaiser Wilderness across the street for short hikes or a day-long loop loop to the peak. The double sites are great for larger groups.

@jeffreys172959 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #6

We had three campsites -- 6, 8, and 9. #6 isn't great; very small and its tent pad is so close to #7 that it could be confused for #7's tent pad. More importantly, #8 was filthy. It had not been cleaned at all prior to our arrival and there was trash everywhere from previous tenants -- in the fire ring, on the ground, etc. We never saw a camp host or the maintenance truck/crew, and the check-in kiosk was closed when we arrived a little after 5pm. So there was no one to talk to. The bathrooms seemed in pretty good shape. Also a clue that this campground isn't well-serviced: all the hang tags on the campsites were from 3-4 days before our arrival and not in our name. They are supposed to put a tag on the site with your name and in/out dates.

@Stephanie28798 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #4

Small campsite. Enough for 1 large tent or 2 small. Site has full sun in the afternoon. Incredibly clean bathrooms. Campsite staff is very friendly!

@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #7

The campsite was very clean! The pit toilets were well-ventilated, exceptionally clean, and nearly odor free. Amazing. There are also flush toilets and a sink that is available for washing dishes. I was very impressed.

@JanusW3144635 · Camped on Aug 14, 2022 at Campsite #6

Collage camp ground is pretty crowded and it only an issue. Everything else - excellent - service, bathrooms etc..

@FredS6254826 · Camped on Jul 21, 2022 at Campsite #5

Carmen, Pete and the rest of the team were very friendly and took very good care of the campground.

@EphiramB422826 · Camped on Jul 18, 2022 at Campsite #4

Always delightful here

@zhongy8294830 · Camped on Jul 13, 2022 at Campsite #5

Great campsite. Clean restrooms.

@EdF3659482 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #6

We were very impressed with the campground cleaning personnel. The restrooms were kept well stocked and very clean. The staff were very friendly and also clear on what the expectations were. She was also very prompt on cleaning the campsites timely prior to the next camper’s arrival. Well done!

@Alejandra43874 · Camped on Jun 10, 2022 at Campsite #3

In my opinion, this was the best site. Very secluded and close to the restrooms. Restrooms were always clean. Definitely recommend to anyone.

@JustinC9419299 · Camped on Jun 3, 2022 at Campsite #6

Great place for a family trip!!

@WalterD2744870 · Camped on Jun 2, 2022 at Campsite #3

Such a beautiful campground!

@GustavoG215596 · Camped on May 28, 2022 at Campsite #8

This was our first time at Huntington lake. Our experience was more than great it was perfect!
Our campground host was AMAZING!! Thank You Carmen 😉. We will be back soon.

@ThomasW400 · Camped on Aug 20, 2021 at Campsite #1

I was amazed that there were flush toilets, clean restrooms and an overall welcoming atmosphere to the campground. Other than the teenagers next to our camp pushing the limits of the quiet hours with their music, it was a wonderful experience.

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
