This is such a beautiful campground! We have been camping here for 15 years. The camp hosts and staff are so kind and helpful. We appreciate the quiet, clean, and safe camping experience Obey River campground provides for our family. Huge shoutout to Jeff and Lisa Harper who go above and beyond to maintain such a lovely place that we continue to enjoy every season!

Its hard to get a campsite BUT noticed a lot of empty campsites. Something wrong with the reservation system.
@RobertL7452920 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #1
Campsite #1 was not as nice as what weve seen in the past with the addition of the new volunteer park person. After it rained, there was lots of mud and dirt on our campsite. This will no longer be one of our favorite sites at Obey River Park. We did try to move to another site but everything was booked and we decided to leave two days early because of this.

Absolutely love this place. Already planning the next camping trip
@SherryG8278919 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #2
Park attendant is rude to just about everyone unless you are friends with her. For them to have redone the park it looks no different than it did. The front of our spot was full of drift wood and trash that people had left laying around.
@ClarandaP5FB57 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #115
By far my favorite campground. Very nice shaded spot and right at the water.
@DeborahB541180 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #80
We love camping at Sunset. Lisa and Jeff- the hosts-are great.

Park is super clean, people are nice. Bathrooms are a little outdated, but they are really clean. I would rather have a clean bathroom/ shower than one thats updated and dirty. Will be back again. Loved it there.
@KathyW3384810 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #115
It was a beautiful4 days at the campground! The leaves were beautiful and the lake was gorgeous as always. So peaceful! I love site 115 and will try to get it again.

Nice park
@MalloryF971299 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #37
Beautiful site and views with easy water access! Luckily it was empty because the sites were on top of one another. We tent camp and the only space to put up is in the (large, pointy rock) gravel driveway. This is fine with a thick air mattress or cot, but our kids kept rolling off their mats onto the rocks. Bathrooms were decent, laundry was a bonus, and the marina is beautiful! We'd definitely stay here again in an rv, probably not in a tent.
@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #76
would like to be able to have three tent not two
@MaxH9810728 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #73
We had a nice stay at Obey River. Like most parks if your unit is a Fifth Wheel or Motorhome there will be tree limbs that are too low to get under without rubbing the top and or sides. This park was about average for that.
@BradB8421095 · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #129
Beautiful campground and very clean. Staff very helpful and friendly.
@MitziG183C6272 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #112
Love camping at Obey River. The campground is always clean and the hosts are great.
@SarajG06895805 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #85
We had a great time. THe lake was at a low level but still warm and the grandkids played there all day. The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. We will go back when we can.
@MaryC1377445 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #77
Always love camping at obey!
@GingerL6342D15 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #127
We haven't found anything we don't love about this campground. From the staff to the campsites, we have always had a great experience each time!
@PatriciaW44123 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #S2
It was perfect for the birthday party we had. My grandson enjoyed it and loves swimming there
@WilliamW688008 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #44
Great camping experience at Obey River. Stayed in 2 different waterfront sites and will definitely be back. Every single park attendant we had contact with at the front entrance was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions and Im thinking we saw at least 4 different people.

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!!!
