Almos everything good except the restrooms really bad.

Poole Creek was surprisingly pleasant, lemolo lake was so beautiful with white cliffs and theilsen in the background. We enjoyed swimming around the boat dock, walking to the dam and looking at the stars on the dock at night. Good campground location to check out crater lake was well. If we had more time it looked fun to paddle board and kayak around too. The bathrooms were clean, toilet paper stocked but no hand sanitizer.

We hope that your reservation system works better next year. We always book 6 months in advance.When friends or family have checked to reserve sites 2-3 weeks before arrival dates the system shows X a lot of times. When arriving to campground there's sites available. What does the X mean?? Can you explain this.The camp host this year did a good job.

Nice size spaces. Sandy at waters edge. Enjoyed kayaking.
@GeorgeM2930002 · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #16
Awesome place to camp! We had so much fun and there is lots to do!
@KarenP1757435 · Camped on Jul 29, 2025 at Campsite #54
This is a pretty nice campground and we had a spot on the 3rd level; where most of the spots are doubles so quite a bit more money but as it turned out, worth the extra because our area was quiet as opposed to the lower areas closer to the lake were quite noisy.
@CamilleG6D3B50 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #30
The guests staying all over this campsite were incredibly loud until 2-3am, with no regards to quiet hours. The restrooms were just okay (pit toilets, not recently cleaned out) and there were no trashcans near our campsite. The campsite itself was good and the lake was nice. There are no food boxes, so you have to store everything in your car.
@LeahS2976135 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #11
Lemolo Lake Poole Creek Campground is great. The recent change in concierge on the other hand is a disappointment. They jacked up the prices and other than clean bathrooms it is a down grade from the forest service. Less garbage cans, rude camp host. Just not what its always been with kind engaging camp host.
@MarciB2016477 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #20
The camp host family was awesome and accommodating. Lemola is beautiful
@JimmyG2539701 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #45
the restrooms are bad (hold your breath), parking for site # 45 can use some help
@rickg2269987 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #3
A very enjoyable stay. The camp hosts were working very hard to take care of the campground and guests. We had the cleanest bathrooms that I ever remember in a campground. Great campground with good views and easy access to the lake.
@BryanC8688337 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #1
Always a fun time
@FallonH37CDBF8 · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #16
Loved this spot! Campsites were roomy and we had a spot with lake access. Soo nice! The bathrooms were.. not great but its an outhouse. We cant wait to come back here!
@DaleR8695376 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #14
We had a beautiful spot by the lake. The toilets were quite clean for being put toilets. The only complaint was noisy neighbors and generators running a lot. But it was a nice weekend overall.
@BethanyO204710 · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #24
Great campground. I wish there were showers here
@CharlesB214095 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #8
We really enjoy camping at Poole Creek and kayaking on Lemolo Lake. It is one of our "go to" destinations. However, there are some recurring negative issues. Toilet facilities are not cleaned regularly. Toilet paper is stocked but there is little to no effort to sweep out or hose out the facilities. This situation is probably due to the absence of a Camp Host during our visit. Some of the toilets have broken locks which prevents them from being secured during use.
@RebekahM1CF19C · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #6
stayed in site number 6; had a great view of the lake. campground was quiet and easy to navigate.had to evac early due to wildfires.would recommend bringing your own porta-potty. My cat's litter box smelled better than the vault toilets
@KateMAABB27DBE · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #24
Due to nearby fire we decided to leave immediately after our arrival. There was no camp host to communicate with.
@SarahE8060821 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #26
No campground host, and few garbage bins
@JeffreyR327920 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #18
Dont go here unless you want to have a terrific time but seriously, dont go :)
@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #15
Great campsite. Beautiful location. Highly recommend.
@TroyS7E16EF1AC · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #G1
The spot was perfect for a funeral reunion. When we got there, the vaulted toilet had not been maintained and had feces on the walls on floor. We had to clean it up to make it sanitary for the young children that were going to be there other than that its a great spot, and a good size for multiple people
@JeremyC96997CA · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #8
Spot 8 is a very nice spot with great access ro rhe water and a great size for friends to join. We had a blast.
@EleanaC618ABB8 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #5
Incredible spot right on the water. Beautiful views and large campsites that could accommodate a decent sized group, camping with tents and a bunch of hammocks. Some tree coverage, but mostly exposed to the sun. Most people on the waterfront campsites had full trailers and plenty of space to pull an RV or trailer in.
@LynDF5BE17A877 · Camped on Sep 5, 2023 at Campsite #8
Beautiful campsites, clean bathrooms, attentive host

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.
