Bathhouse needs work, you took benches out now there is no place for clothes and you have to try to dress in flooded floors.

Beautiful location. Great paddling. Very clean.

I love this place. No Internet or telephone signal which is concerning at our age. but we survived. Park is so clean. Love the swimming area. Could use a camp store. Have to go all the way back to Carthage for supplies. But all in all. I love this place

Beautiful campground. 150 sites. Water views are breathtaking. Staff was very nice. Wish they had a campstore. One dump station. Can be lengthy process on busy weekends! Will definitely come back. Definitely go to Granville when you are there!

Salt lick is our favorite campground. But the bathrooms need some SERIOUS work! No benches in the showers to put your stuff. The drains doesnt drain. The water was up over my feet. NASTY! 4th of July bike kid parade was a great idea until they put a person in a side by side to lead it and they took off like it was a marathon and left all the kids not knowing which way the parade route was. It could use more structure.

site had a water leak with a large mud hole we almost buried our camper. And when the storm came we had over 2 inches of water on the site. Workers did bring a bucket of gravel and tried to fill in the hole. Site had lot's of ant's it hadn't been sprayed.

We purchased a bundle of heat treated wood for the fire pit. We tried two nights to get it to light and the best it would do is smolder. Big disappointment, and no refund. We left the entire bundle and hope whomever camped at our spot next got some use out of it.Otherwise, the stay was fine.

@ClayP64D056884 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #47
It was a very peaceful relaxing trip . Our site was very nice and beautiful views. The restrooms were clean too. I only had one downfall there was no WiFi .
@ColinK1952992 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #24
Has very little cell/ IT service if any so plan in that
@DorisC7430540 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #116

@AnnaM2451476 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #26
The entire area is a marvel and the campground is a fantastic outpost for exploring it. Many of the sites have beautiful views of the water. Woodsy options are also available. All the facilities are in good working order and clean. Friendly and informative staff on site.
@BethC1278019 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #28
We love camping at Salt Lick. They are making some much needed improvements.
@JackieK780B682 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #19
The gate staff was perfect. We had some last minute changes and they accommodated every request. The grounds were clean and the view was perfect.
@SharonW8755039 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #18
Sites are great, sewage is available in certain areas, good swimming area for kids. The only negative about this place is there is no cell service for Verizon or AT&T. I understood that pets were to be on leash and not in the bathrooms, however we have seen both happening on several occasions. Have the rules been changed?
@TiffanyT2EB3FE · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #26
Had a great stay, everything was clean including a nice beach, basketball court, and volleyball court. My only complaints are the lack of cell service which was made very clear beforehand, and the one way road we had to travel around to get back to camp. I would definitely stay again, the pros outweigh any cons.

I had a wonderful experience at SLC, as always, and am looking forward to returning soon.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
