Something NEEDS to be done about the electricity. We have a small camper that only uses 30 but it knocked our air off a couple of times. Never had this issue before but something is definitely wrong.

Saturday night the sheriffs department evicted a group of unruly people including a huge fifth wheel rv. This happened around midnight. Need more security

Everything is great

Ive been to this campground several times before but, was disappointed by the trash left from other campers. There multiple capri sun pouches left in my fire ring, cigarette butts on my site, various pieces and small trash items like pieces of candy wrappers, water bottle caps, plastic straw wrappers etc. Overall, the sites are kept up, boathouse was clean. The humans that use the campground need to do better and clean up after themselves. I got into nature to enjoy nature, not to pick up others trash.

Quiet and calm.

We loved salt House branch. This was our first visit there. The camp host Gary was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Out grill pit area was full of plastic and cigarette butts on arrival. Informed staff and they said they dont have staff to check the sites when they are vacated.

@ArthurBFD3625F · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #42
A beautiful mountain lake and amble camping locations. Overall, a very nice area to visit in Virginia.
@JenniferL39143 · Camped on Apr 29, 2025 at Campsite #51
Beautiful COE campground, well maintained, quiet, wonderful place. Very friendly present hosts and very clean facilities. Boat Ramps and lots of wonderful tent or small RV camping spaces as well. Calm inlets for kayaks, canoe, paddle boards.

Good trip.
@MelodyS2372159 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #42
Beautiful campground, very quiet Sunday afternoon through Thursday. Our first weekend here, the park was packed with families of elememtary age children and it was noisy and chaotic. Second weekend we had more of the same but not as many kids. Mainly, older couples with a few grandkids, that were here to fish. No cell service at csmpsites. Sparse T mobile available at the beach. Roads coming in and out of park are narrow amd winding. There is not a lot to do in the area, but the visitors center is beautiful with a great view
@CharlieS557438 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #71
Very friendly and helpful rangers. Nice facilities and quiet where I was. Nice hikes in the area. My campsite was at the top of the hill, so windy and colder than other sites in early April. Plus of an almost empty tent part of campground so early in the season.
@JayF1678510 · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #12
Campground and Lake are beautiful, and our campsite was nice but a little tight for our 40' class A motorhome. We could not have a fire because the fire ring was to close to the back of the RV because we were so long. The sight was level and the gravel was packed. Getting to the campground is an adventure in driving with our 40' rig towing a SUV because the roads are narrow with several very tight turns. The dump sight has you pulling into the campgrounds when you are done causing you to have to turn around to leave. Better access roads to get there would have changes my overall rating for the better
@DonS7246342 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #47
Excellent showerhouses. Always easy to check in. 2 very nice trails
@RayS9535368 · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #40
Everything you have come to expect from a COE campground. There is a trail that is well maintained and the lake is beautiful with very little traffic.
@LoriT8546024 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #14
Sites were boxed in and smaller than I am used to. Think they were 20' wide. We had to move the picnic table completely out of the site to make room for our fence. Sites are not very long either. My camper is 40 feet and I had to overhang th back of the camper in order to keep the truck on the site as well.
@RobertA1820332 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #30
Nice quiet corner of the camp. Staff extremely friendly and helpful w firewood. Will be back.
@ShanaH5AAE3A84 · Camped on Oct 12, 2024 at Campsite #65
Very peaceful
@LeeP8676897 · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #33
The campground is dated and could use a little love. The previous camper for site 33 used the fire ring as a trash disposal of cans cigarette butts and chicken bones. The ring also has a heavy layer of ashes. My wife and I removed the trash. The restrooms and showers were nice. The ADA site is pretty far from the restrooms.

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.
