Need to have more campgrounds open at Huntington Lake. Several campgrounds (Kinnikinnick and Catavee and others) have been closed for several years. You have managed to have these camp grounds open for decades and now for some reason you you can't.In addition the campsites that were open most of the restrooms were not operable and padlocked.In the 40 years that we have been camping at Huntington I have not seen worse conditions. What Happened??
@DennisS6139880 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #12
It is very hard to get reservations and there were only 2 working bathrooms for the whole campground. The camp host were pretty much non existent. We were there for 5 days and I think we saw them drive by twice. There are no showers or electricity in the whole campground.
@derekh2007138 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #7
Glad Bear Cove is open again.
@JessicaA471348 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #5
Great biking and walking proximity to 2 restaurants, the boat launch and general store as well as quiet walking trails. A calm cove is in the campground and the sites are spacious and very clean. Look forward to coming back again.
@DuaneF8551516 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #11
Only 2 toilets for the entire campground wasnt enough, resulting in long waiting lines
@CherylM3564547 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #9
The bathrooms were a total mess no tp. Worst I've seen and I come yearly several times. Loren and Betty were missed! Rich and Alma dearly missed. Carmen, missed also.
@JamesB7853748 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #8
The perfect place for hiking, biking, and kayaking. The campground was clean and everyone was friendly
@SharonM2145782 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #25
Campsite 25 is nice and has a good location, but not the best in the campground. It's not right next to the lake but fairly close to the boat ramp. Close to the water station. It has partial shade with full sun mid-day. The bear box seems smaller than the ones I saw at other sites. You do not need to purchase firewood if you are able to walk around and gather it yourself as there is plenty of wood lying around. Restaraunt is way over-priced.Two out of four bathrooms were closed but instead of leaving twice as much toilet paper and soap in the open ones, they left the regular amount, so there was no soap or toilet paper half the time.
@LindaO4583648 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #12
It was amazing, beautiful views, clean and, with water and flush toiletsThe inly downside was there was really no shade
@ValerieM103742 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #14
We have been coming to Deer Creek for 40 years and it is one of our favorite campgrounds. With that said, we were extremely disappointed in our visit this year. On the day we arrived we went to check in and there was no one at the kiosk. We went by numerous times during the day for the next few days and still no-one there. The walking paths and road in the campsite were in disarray and there was no camp host (they arrived 5 days later). We were told by an employee who had arrived that day and works for the company that runs the campgrounds around Huntington Lake, that the flush toilets at Deer Creek were not working and we were informed that the nearest toilet (pit toilet) was at the boat launch area or the day area, both of which were about 1/4 mile away. This is unacceptable. If you advertise running water and flush toilets the people who operate the campsites should arrive at least 1 week prior to opening to the public to make sure everything is in working order. Hopefully this will not happen again.

Really enjoyed my time there. Beautiful place and very helpful to connect with the nature.
@KristieFC1E7A6 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #9
Our spot was actually a double spot, which was not made clear when we made the reservation. Our slide out was practically touching the camper next to us. There was also a big transformer power line on the shore of the lake in our camp spot as well. So beware when making a reservation. We ended up just staying one night!
@ShinyaSB4AA6B0 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #9
This is a beautiful lakefront (direct access) campsite. In the early morning, when the wind is calm, the lake is like a mirror, serene beauty.
@BetsyW4307538 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #15
Hosts were great and hard working to keep the sites and facilities clean
@BeckyXC094B124 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #17
Pros: Flat ground throughout our camp site, so you can setup your tent anywhere. Picnic table was not locked down, so you can move it wherever you wanted or where the shade was. Site is shaded by a tree on either side, which provided sufficient shade for warmer parts of the day. Fire pit was sunken into the ground, not too low but low enough to sit at night with a campfire. Drive way is long enough to fit two cars with extra room to spare. Close enough to the restroom, but not too close.Cons: Sites are a little to close for comfort, but thankfully our neighbors left early. Otherwise, with all sites filled and everyone at their sites, it would feel a bit too crowded.
@DeborahB541180 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #13
The setting is beautiful. Unfortunately rec.gov cant seem to fix toilets. Theres 3 out of 4 working toilets for both loops. I think thats 23 sites. The fourth has been converted into a storage closet. Reason: its hard to find plumbers. They turn off the water on Wednesdays and direct you to toilets at the ramp. No notice posted the day before that this is the case. Picture a full bladder making it to the restroom and learning you need to go another half mile.We and everyone else has a good time IN SPITE OF rec.gov but I sure wish care, custody, and control would go back to the Forest Service or whatever agency used to manage the campground.
@MichaelR189137 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nice campground close to water. Some spots are close together so get ready to know you neighbors. Camp host was doing a great job of maintaining restroom as there is only one for whole campground. Lake is less crowded now (which was nice) as some of the bigger campgrounds are closed. Next year they are going to open. Lots of beetle damage in campgrounds(trees dying and having to be cut down) and around lake some fire damage. Overall great time.
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #18
We love Deer Creek and have been coming here for years!
@AnnO1012454239 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #26
Ranchera Falls was a great little hike. Very pretty on the trail and at the waterfall. Nice clean campsite #26; great neighbors shared their kayaks with us, super fun. Not very much shade in our campsite since so many trees are cut down. Good clean bathrooms.
@JonH8691770 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #16
Great time here. Nice facilities, clean bathrooms.
@tishjC72E92997 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #11
always clean and well maintained. camphosts were friendly.
@SarahK3888645 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #1
We love to visit this campground every year. The only real issue I have with it, is that there are only 4 bathrooms available to the whole campground and one of them has been out of order for the last few years. It would be great if that bathroom could be fixed.
@YuliaS801D6E00 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #17
It's a nice place, beautifulBut the forest is very burned out, lots of flies flying around during the day.

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.
