The traffic on the highway that was 20 feet from our tent never died down enough to make the trip enjoyable.

@lauram1165586 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #13

Campsite is fine. Served its purpose for a stop through on a trip. One downside is you hear the interstate, since it is in close proximity. Seemed there was tree clearing at a number of the sites had logs stacked about.

@DevinW7843213 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #22

Camp hosts did a good job keeping the area serviceable but noise from the interstate ruins the experience. I would consider this a last resort option.

@BryanS9622527 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #13

it sounds like interstate 80 runs directly through the camp site. We will not be camping here again. Our neighbors left because of this and they were in a trailer. We were tent camping so all you could hear is traffic the whole weekend. You have to talk over the traffic.

@DaleM7625488 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #5

Pulled up after 9pm to my site only to find someone camped there. Not cool. Fortunately there were other sites available and camp host was on site to offer up another option. That said, this should have never happened in the first place. Site poachers are lame and camp host needs to check the daily roster to avoid this happening again.

@KellyB8439114 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #17

Love love this place !!! Has everything a camper would want..

@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #8

Loved the campsite we were in .BUT.....our biggest complaint was the freeway noise, which is 24 hours a day. We had a great spot on the river. Our granddog loved being able to swim there. Out house bathrooms were clean. Hardly saw the camp host. Sites needed to be marked if taken as it confused people.

@Alexander86904 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #15

The site is great, just by the river, but the proximity to I-80 ruins everything! Spent only one night here and was more than happy to leave in the morning!

@NoahH8136645 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #18

Highway noise was very loud. We still made the best of the experience though.

@GaryW8456397 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #8

Arrived to find that another group had taken one of the two sites I reserved. Fortunatly we had some Scouts and a parent backout so we could fit into the one site. We had a beach front site and the boys loved having access to the river. This is a very loud campground with noise from Highway 80 24/7 and on the other side is noise from the trains going by. After awhile you do tune out the noise but not the place to come if you want to sit and listen to nature. Bathrooms were clean and had toilet paper. Camp Host was friendly and addressed the campers in the wrong spot. (They had come up early in the day, before the Host had flipped the signs from "Open" to "Reserved"). This was mid September and there were plenty of open spots for first come first served. Reserve early if you want one of the beach front sites.

@NatashaS927953 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #30

The campsite itself was great, very convenient to be right near the bathrooms and a water spigot, especially because we arrived after dark! The only downside to the whole campground is that it is literally right next to the freeway and the sound of traffic is constant. There was some garbage left behind by previous campers (including silverware??) but other than that it was fine!

@YuliC37C150764 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #7

We always have a good time here. The freeway noise is loud but we dont mind.

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #18

Expected considerable traffic noise from I-80 and were not disappointed. Access to the Yuba River was a bit difficult, but doable to anyone who really wanted to dip their toes in the water. Separation between sites is excellent with tall thick green folliage.

@ShiylohDC710A1 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #2

Cute campground. Yes it's near the freeway but the drive from Sacramento is easy and the waterfront campsites basically have a private beach. Camp host keeps everything very clean.

@GreggC1773267 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

Like many reviews, the freeway noise is very noticeable when sleeping in a tent. First time tent camping here, usually in a motorhome. Nice creek to float in, was 75' water, but was 105' in Sacramento that week. Air temp was about 92' with a slight breeze, so the creek swimming was great.

@MarianeT2FC061 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #12

Big Campsite, the creek is right across (passing through a campsite) the creek is deep enough to enjoy a dip, less to no people as most of the people go to the main natural pool

@MarianeT2FC061 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #25

This campsite is soo tiny and only 1 car can park

@DavidF8210922 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #15

I was prepared for the highway noise (which I got used to) but was not prepared or aware of how little room there was at any (?) of the campsites for tents. I probably missed some notice somewhere when booking...

@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #6

Nice little campground. Freeway is a little loud but you get used to it. I would go back again.

@BrettG40A40F44 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #8

Yea the freeway is close and youll hear some noise but it was worth it. The campground was clean, and many of the sites have a lot of bushes/trees for privacy. Unfortunately it was cold the weekend I went so we didnt get to swim but Im looking forward to coming back.

@ElissaM24F3FD8 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #19

This campground is RIGHT NEXT TO the freeway. The noise is assaulting. We had a sight within 50 yards of the freeway and could see and hear cars flying by all night long. It felt unsafe and was incredibly disruptive to our sleep.

@brucer6955059 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #2

The location is beautiful, right beside the Yuba River,but the highway noise is constant and loud.Ear phones are required.

@KellyS8987536 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #3

We had a great visit. I can see the road noise being loud if you are in a tent but it wasnt an issue for us. It was convenient to lots of things we were interested in.

@DenaNFEBB72FC3 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #4

Clean, well kept. One of my favorite campgrounds. Great swimming access. Sites are big and spread out. Mostly enclosed and private.

@Christina50083 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #18

This is on the loop closest to the freeway, so there is a lot of freeway noise. Since it was constant, it didnt bother us much (we considered it like white noise, similar to a constant roar of a waterfall). The site is fairly large, with a lot of shade. Since its not on the waters edge, getting to it without walking through someone elses camp was a little challenge (through some bushes over a rotted log under a fallen tree to a trail, or short walk up Hampshire Rocks Rd then over some rocks.). Wear water shoes when in the water, the rocks are slick. Bathrooms were some of the cleanest and best smelling vault toilets I have ever seen, and right next to the site.

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
