Great experience. Big camp sites. Lots of shade. Excellent location which is next to lake and many hiking trails nearby.

Our site was nice. The kids got to see some of the wildlife in the area. Fishing wasn't as great as in previous years but the kids had a ball in the water. Just make sure you take bug spray. Thankfully we did!

The gentleman who takes care of the upkeep of Upper Billy does an amazing job. Arriving there, the campsite was clean and raked like it was a zen garden. Also the restrooms were spotless. That man takes great pride in his work and it shows!

Very clean campsite. All have been revamped and had excellent fire pits, storage lockers, and tables. Camp host did a great job of keeping the restroom clean. Our campsite had a view of the lake and was a very short walk to the water, even though we were across the street from the lake. Really enjoyed our time.
The only drawback was a group came in late, after 11 pm, and promptly started to party, terribly loud music seemed to have gone on for hours. The camp host was not aware as their site was a distance away from the partiers.

women liked the super nice restrooms. Upper Billy was quiet and well maintained. A little walk down to the water but not bad.

We have been coming to Billy Creek for over fifty years. We seen many changes to both Upper and Lower Billy Creek as well as the lake itself. We enjoy staying at Billy Creek, the campground hosts are terrific, the view of the lake is one that we really enjoy. Fishing, sailing, hiking, taking wildlife photographs and taking walks on the path are all fun activities. We also enjoy the nearby off road trails in our Jeep. If you don't feel like cooking there are the restaurants nearby at Lakeshore and within walking distance, Huntington Lake Resort.

We hiked to Rancheria Falls, and it was a nice easy hike with some great views of the waterfall. We also greatly enjoyed our tour of the history museum right across the street from the campground.

So peaceful and clean. Campsite was large and very well prepped for us. Will definitely book this again.

We visited at the beginning of August 2019 and stayed for 3 wonderful nights. We were in site 015 in Upper Billy Creek. It was the perfect site. No neighbors really, and next to the creek.

I love Huntington Lake, I have been coming as a child, and my dad came since he was in high school. We now all come with family and friends from all over CA! Though, Upper Billy is where we ALWAYS stayed as kids. This year we finally got back up there and up in the upper loop. Though, now our secret sanctuary has been found! Don't get me wrong, its still amazing and so great. BUT, we felt like the camp sites are just too on top of each other. It's so hard feeling like your enjoying the outdoors with everyone on top of you. But regardless, its just great to be up away from the road. The bathrooms were great, they were cleaned often, just a little early sometimes to be blowing the windblower.We'll be back, we always are!

The camp host was extremely friendly and helpful getting us to our site and pointing out the camp features. The campsite was very clean when we arrived. Had a great location close to the lake and the facilities. Easy access in and out as well.

@PerryC2423933 · Camped on Jul 28, 2019 at Campsite #6
This is a very nice campground and there is lots of shade at many of the campsites unlike other campgrounds around Huntington Lake that have lost so many trees. The toilets are spread out further so there is more of a walk to reach them but the water spigots and trash cans are nicely placed. The camp hosts were friendly and attentive and kept everything very clean. There is a small creek at the edge of the campground that is great for kids to play at. The lake is a short 5 minute walk away but you do have to cross the main road. In late July, mosquitoes were only a very minor problem for a short time at dusk.

We really enjoyed our camping trip. It's very unfortunate that the forest service has decided again this year to exclude Rancheria campground at Huntington Lake. (same area) Last year it was closed so they could clear out the dead trees. I guess they have slow chainsaws. Closed this year also. Not Recreation.gov fault. Is it?We can't view our past reservations online.Was asked for this review and they are about 6 months overdue. They did state next time it would be within a few weeks. We and our friends have a fault with Recreation.gov or the forest service. The online maps are NOT drawn accurately. Not talking about 'to scale' but for the last couple of years the maps are not drawn accurately. Roads do not match with sites, no roads shown, no restroom locations, no hosts sites, missing sites. Someone should be shown the door and out!Please fix it. It's the users experience that powers this Recreation.com. I would give them a 2 out of 10.Thanks

Clean facilities! One of my favorite campsites!
@DianaN246BB060 · Camped on Jul 25, 2019 at Campsite #29
The site was not too crowded and the host were super considerate when it came to noise levels, since we had 5 kids on site. Restrooms were clean and the lake was close by
@PamelaN9435956 · Camped on Jul 12, 2019 at Campsite #13
It was fun but we should have taken a canopy because there wasnt much shade in camp ground due to lack of trees. Very clean and well kept up.

The campsites are very clean, very quiet, and there is plenty of space between campsites. The bathrooms are also clean and very well kept. This camp site is not to far from the water, its about a 5-10 min walk with fishing gear in hand.
Excellent
@NelsonC7597335 · Camped on Jul 4, 2019 at Campsite #7
upper billy creek campground: we got site 7 and 36...had to cancel 36 because of flood in July (constant water trickling down from the mountain due to good snow season). site 7 is classified as 12 campers, unfortunately this site is more suitable for 8 people at most, fits two 6 person tents back to back. so that's our biggest gripe with this campground...can't fit 12 people, the sites are pretty smallother than that, the Rancheria Falls is really beautiful; there are 2 big lakes for water kayaking, boating, pretty small town.

Online system map was not updated and at checkin I was informed we were in a different space but the same number. My trailer barely fit and we next to the toilets (slamming doors day and night with very bright lights). The campground is very tight and hard to maneuver. The entrance/exit is steep and the backend of the trailer scraped causing damage to the electric stabilizer jacks.

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.
