The campground is beautiful, with many sites overlooking the lake. The only reason I didnt give it excellent is that there was no reserved sign on my campsite even though I paid to reserve it online. We had to have an unpleasant conversation with the campers who had installed their RV there before we arrived.

Beautiful campground and lake; unfortunately the hiking trails haven't been maintained.
@LizN6311802 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025
The location is beautiful and ideal for swimming. It was close to the state hiking trail and Tower, MN with many things to do doing the day. However, our experience was significantly impacted by disruptive behavior from neighboring campers. Despite posted quiet hours and campground policies, there was persistent yelling and loud disturbances lasting until 2 a.m. on both nights of our stay. The noise could be heard throughout the entire campground and was accompanied by apparent intoxication. We were also informed that the individuals had a firearm, which made it unsafe to intervene or report the issue directly. Unfortunately, this behavior overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Caretaker was wonderful. Always hard at work improving the park. The mosquitos were beyond swarms was the only problem. But it is nature. Noticed beach no longer had buoys and there were no garbage bins. Budget cuts??
@RichardT729403 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025
We loved the spot we had at the lake. It was clean and offered great privacy. The bathroom was always well stocked and clean. The host was very helpful when we had any questions or needs too.
@BruceK2612995 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025
Overall the campground is very well kept. One thing we noticed is that many of the campsites the grass is very long and not kept up. It would be nice to see more of a sand beach put in at the swim area.
@CindyW8273974 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #5
Was very disappointed after camping here for years. Beach wasnt mowed and no buoys out. Fire pits werent shoveled out. Sites not mowed and bathrooms were swept and stocked with toilet paper, but not cleaned.

We tent camped two nights at Pfieffer Lake. After searching the campground for water, and concluding that there was none, another camper told us that it was on the wall of an unmarked brown building near our campsite. Campgrounds always have the water marked with a sign. Not here. There are no showers or flush toilets, and the campsites are not secluded enough to enjoy bathing outdoors.The lake has no beach, grass to the water line, and a rocky bottom. Toilets were clean with paper but no hand sanitizer. Our reservation was marked wrong on the site post, but we couldn't ever find the host to make sure they didn't expect us to leave on the date shown.

We stayed in two campsites with our scout troop. The sites were well maintained and the perfect space. The pictures do a good job of showing what to expect at each campsite. The scouts went fishing and enjoyed cooking meals over the cookstove, since we were under high fire danger over the weekend. The scouts agreed that we would happily camp here again.

Quiet and peaceful. The restrooms for the cleanest I've ever seen. Thanks
@TravisK1913617 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024
Great place to getaway, beautiful landscape, and a pair of loons live on the lake , great to watch.. clean ..
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #11
we used this campground for a launching point for the boundary waters and it worked great.
@RoxanaR82B2687 · Camped on May 22, 2024
Too pricey for the stay. The side said it was $12 per night but I was charge $30 per night. Most trees where burn out and fall down from the roots. Made me feel a sense of pain and agony, suffering in the area. I did got to see an cougars though! Which was freaking scary but totally awesome. Overall was ok. Wish there were showers in the campground or some water source.
@ERICP174274122 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023
The vault toilets were nice and clean. The beach was nice.
@micheller44570 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023
Our campsite had lots of room and separation from the nearby sites. We knew what we were signing up for with vault toilets and no electric. The potable water source was a bit hard to find but we asked fellow campers and were able to find it eventually. Other than noisy neighbors way past the start of quiet hours our experience was great.
@KatieG3073170 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023
Great little campground. Quiet! Good fishing!
@BryanP8227284 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022
A nice quiet place for dry camping with pit toilets. Beautiful small lake with easy access for canoeing or small boats, plus a sandy beach and fishing pier.
@KimJ3365873 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #5
Perfect location: not close to busy roads, couldn’t hear loud traffic, no trains that where close enough to wake you up in the middle of the night.
Camp sites where more private then most campgrounds.
Made great memories, very kid friendly

Clean, fun, nice campground. not sure what happened to the dumpster, however. Host site was set up, but a host was never present. other campers were good. Swimming was good and fishing was great!
@SandraK5565002 · Camped on Aug 9, 2022
Very relaxing campground. Loved being in my hammock listening to the loons.
@KristenS426435 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #6
Sites are fairly private and we really enjoy the small campground.

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.
