Decent restrooms and showers. They did have a few spots unavailable to reserve even though those spots are not in the construction zone. Overall, very pleasant stay and very quiet at night. Definitely will camp here again.

No signs directing you to the park. Host didn't ask for ID to make sure we were supposed to be in the park. An host acted like he didn't have time for us. Lots of dead trees very old ran down park.

This park is very tired. Its obvious that its not being maintained properly. Our site was fine, but quite eroded.

We enjoyed the stay here, very quiet, not too many people here. Electric and water at the site. A little run down but I heard it's because it's been flooded out twice recently. Shower house is being rebuilt. Site 38 is great if you have Starlink. AT&T and T-Mobile cell phone is pretty weak at this spot.

The lake was too low for canoeing. I could not find a boat ramp that was going down that far to the water line.

We were just passing through and stayed for one night. It was beautiful quiet spot to spend a night and would not hesitate to stay again if we pass through the area again.

My favorite camp on Sam Rayburn and it's near good fishing spots. It's very well maintained with friendly park hosts but many campsites, bathrooms and docks are still damaged and closed from Hurricane Beryl. I would like to see this park restored.

Upon arriving at our site, we discovered that the pad was too short for our camper. We drove around the park and found a more suitable site that was unoccupied according to online reservations. We contacted recreation.gov on the phone, and a VERY nice gentleman assisted us on changing our reservation. We were relieved to speak with a human, and couldn't have been more pleased.

I have never said this about a COE park, but avoid this one, booked site 33. When we got there, we found dozens of screws and nails from a previous RV fire. The fire occurred 3 months before. We talked to host, but the app would not let the host nor myself modify the site. The host tried to help moved me to a site they did not use. This site had a broken water handle and power problems when checked with my surge protector. I did contact the office the morning and spoke with a ranger who refunded my money however driving a long way to get and Not letting the host or myself to move us ; is the Govt being greedy SHAME

We enjoyed the peace and quite. Our site was very clean and the park hosts are friendly. I do wish you would put in your rules that people that have a dog must be on a leach and pick up their deposits. I believe leaving a site in good condition for the next campers.
@ShaneH2606384 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #3
Overall it was a good weekend, However the maintenance of the park is subpar. Lots of tree limbs everywhere. Other than that, a very nice place to go.
@Patricia266316 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #4
It is a nice family park, however, sites 16 - 30 being closed is a SHAME and UNECESSARY!

Hard campground to get a site on! Over half of sites have not been rebuilt after two years and are closed off!Drives and camp sites need to be ground and repaved.During my stay there were three other campers, but several sites were reserved, but never occupied.

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!!!
