We had group C at Box Elder campground. The site is wooded and beautiful. However, it is described for up to 120. There is no way 120 would be able to camp there. We had 95 in attendance. Most did not camp, they stayed in Brigham City or at KOA. The motorhome or trailer space is VERY LIMITED. It is basically the parking lot. One could fit perhaps 6 RVs, but they would be very, very close.That would leave room for very few other vehicles. Campsites are wooded, but very few in #. It has a nice area for games, a nice firepit, and group picnic table area which is not covered. However, the tables are in need of some TLC and we couldn't even use one table. Also, the group areas are not well deliniated. The campground hosts made us move a tent we had placed neawr the picnic tables because they said it was not our area.The campground hosts were not very hospitable. They were nowhere to be seen when we checked in to help us and answer questions, They did show up when they had a complaint. We had 4 side-by-sides. 3 of which were licensed. We were told we could not ride them in campground area. Licensed vehicles can be driven anywhere. There is no turnaround, so you have to back up in parking lot to go out. Road is very narrow and entrance needs to be repaired. We did enjoy our time there, but absolutely not room for 120 to camp either in tents or RVs.

Group site was roomy, quick access to restrooms, lots of benches and wide open spaces for tents. Would have been nice to have a more forested site, and the trail to the restroom led straight through our site, but once we were there, people went around.

Small campsite with limited parking Had to pay an additional fee for my wifes car because there were no overflow parking signs/areas
@HeatherH640042 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #5
Campsite 5 is listed as an RV site, up to 28' trailer. This is absolutely inaccurate. Maybe if our 22' trailer didn't have a pop-out we could have fit. But even without a pop out, there would have been vehicles barely able to squeeze by on the road. It is more like a pull off spot and I would not recommend for a trailer. We showed up for Father's Day weekend, took one look and knew it wasn't going to work. This would have been our 4th year staying at this campground because we absolutely love the poppies. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience them this year.

Host was really nice
@JonathanH88369 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #26
Our site had great access to trails and the stream for kids to play and explore. Fire pits were well maintained. Bathrooms had running water and were also very well maintained. Great experience.

Very nice campground. Bathrooms well maintained. Hosts were awesome!
@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #GB
This is my favorite campground and my favorite group site. I can understand some people not liking it. But it is at a good price point for what it gives. The tent spots are close to the bathroom but not too close. So if you have small kids or a tiny bladder, its pretty wonderful. The bathrooms have running water.It does have an open area which can get hot, but its a pretty nice field to play in. Probably my favorite field during the evening and morning when not hot. Or you have plenty of room for tents there if you really want to set them up there.Its nice, its easy, Group C is nice and by the bathrooms, but didn't like their field as much, and it is most expensive. Group A probably has a nicer area, but is far from the bathrooms. I think its niceties don't overcome being far away from bathroom, because B is still pretty good.

Loved this campground hidden away among the trees an hour from Las Vegas. Will return some day. Friendly campground hosts.
@MikeT3189940 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #3
Barely any room for a tent at this site, certainly not enough room for a family to camp. Other than that, the creek was nice, fire pit was great, and lots of shade
@RachaelEAC918D · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #25
Stevie and Scott keep that place so lovely and smooth-running and safe. They are always so helpful and knowledgeable. The campgrounds have upgraded fire pits that I love. The trails through the camp ground are so fun to walk through. It's such a lovely shaded place to camp that still has cell phone reception and internet. I recommend climbing up the ravine (east part of camp) to the field up above to check out the stars at night.

Camp hosts are great!! Great location! Clean bathrooms
@SjaanieO2B218B · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #GB
Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed in Group Site B. I wouldnt recommend it. It had a very large, deep open space by the parking lot that was very hot in the morning and midday. The space was pleasant and shady in the afternoon and evening. The best place for tents was in the trees far back from the parking area away from where the tent trailers were in the parking lot. It all felt really disjointed. The tables were lined up in a not very use-able way. Maybe if we could have driven in the open area with our trailers/tent trailers it would be been more functional? (There were large boulders there to prevent that). Group site A is better. There was a lot of traffic past group sites A and B. Group sites C and D were a lot nicer and more private.

Stayed in site 7. DO NOT STAY IN THIS SITE. You basically share one camp area with another site so unless you know the people in site 9, choose another spot. Most of the other spaces in the campground are much more secluded.Also be aware that there is a TON of cottonwood debris, like an "it snowed" amount, so watch out if that will cause you any allergy issues.Thid does also mean there's a lot of little sticks around for campfires that kids could collect. I know I loved doing that when I was younger.Flush toilets were very clean. Look above the door to see which one is men's or women's. They are NOT handicap accessible. They are lit all through the night. There was a sink with running water but no hand soap in the bathroom, so bring your own. There is a separate pump of potable water outside the bathrooms. Camp host was incredibly nice and tolerant of my crazy dogs. She sells firewood for $10/bundle if you have a wood emergency.Several nice day use only areas open 6am-10pm
@DanielW5233823 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #8
We had a very nice overnight stay. The sites were closer than we like, but that is mostly our problem. Nicely kept campground with friendly hosts.Thanks!
@JennieM7DE986F · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #23
The camp hosts were great. The spot was a little smaller than anticipated, but worked out great for us.
@Anastasia81E6E · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #GA
We stayed in the group A site with a bunch of families and 15 kids ages 2-10. Tons of shade, picnic tables, and seating around the fire pit. The kids had a blast playing in the creek. Its not too deep, and it runs fast enough to not be gross or slippery. Theres lots of grass in that site, so the kids had plenty of places to play. We had our own water spigot. There is a bathroom in between the 4 group sites. It has flushing toilets, and was regularly cleaned by the hosts.
@AndriaWA73C02B · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #17
Great campsite. Close to civilization but feels remote. Love the shade and cute creek. Camp Host was very friendly as well
@KeshiaB12009E2 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #10
Large spot. Very wet behind it and by the firepit. Convenient to be near the flush bathroom and water spigot, especially since we had little kids with us. Friendly camp hosts. We went end of June and the poppies were still in bloom, very beautiful. We enjoyed the hike at the back of the poppy field.
@AngelaDE04D141 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #GA
Beautiful! The campground is very private and didn't have any trouble with bugs or noise. Loved our stay.
@ClaudiaLE124CE · Camped on Jun 24, 2023 at Campsite #4
The site we got was big enough for 2 tents if wanted had a great spot near a tiny creek where the kids played and set up their hammock. Site came with a picnic table and a fire pit. Plenty of good shade around so we did not feel the heat at all & it was very private. We loved that the site had actual flushable toilets.
@CraigM6216413 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #17
The campground and restrooms were very clean and well maintained. Quiet shady campground near town. Full cell phone service. Great access point for Mantua reservoir and Willard Peak road. The campground hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful.
@MattL5521331 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #2
Nice little campground with spacious sites. Stayed one night while traveling. Will use again.
@HallieY5832017 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #14
Excellent camp site! Will definitely come again. The sites in the 20s we had the bridge to the bathroom was washed out. Hopefully that will get fixed soon.
@SusanS9297654 · Camped on Oct 2, 2022 at Campsite #GA
Very nice and well kept. It was mostly secluded and quiet.
This was a group site and there was more than plenty of table and seating spaces for our group of 30.

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!!!
