Philpott lake is beautiful. The entire lake is surrounded by trees. The water is clean and clear. The campsites are well maintained. The bathhouses are clean. Great for kayaking.

We love salthouse! Our grandson loves the playground. Riding scooter and his bike. Playing with all the kids. We didn't get in water, too cold. Water is low. Good family environment.

@SteveP3205693 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #22

we drove in around 3-4pm, no one at gate area, or information about our stay, found our site, which had drink straws, bottle caps, trahs and dead tree debris, which we picked up or pushed off to the side. The camp ground seemed abandon. We saw no one from our arrival until we departed the next day 8-9am. Sadly it seems that and we talked about the fact it seems like a recent large investment in electric and water had been made. The address took us to the lake management office 5 to 10 miles away.

Camping at Salthouse was amazing. The staff was so friendly and the bathhouses were spotless. My grandson was camping with us. He took his kayak out and miles from shore his paddle broke. He called the guardhouse with his dilemma. They sent someone out on a jet ski with replacement. We are so thankful for everyone going the extra mile.

@FrankK5195099 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #6

Yes the road was narrow going in. There was a site there that had signs all over it stating "camp host" Never seen anyone there but what a gross, eyesore. Clean it up! Beautiful park except for this junk site. 2 workers at the gate were very nice

@TimothyB926333 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #4

We enjoyed staying in this spot. Only one other site next to us. But we camped a Mon-Wednesday late September. So there was only 6 other people camping. Site fit my 5th wheel no problem and had plenty of room to park my truck. Now during peak season , this site probably sees and hears a lot of traffic coming and going. You are right next to the road. Also my Starlink worked 100%

This is one of our favorite places to camp. It's clean, family friendly, and peaceful

@DonnaMCC3F7C4D · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #10

We stayed at Salthouse in late Sept.We were met at the gate by friendly workers. Site was long enough but the width was just enough due to some wood beams surrounding site.Bath house was clean. Lake was low but We were just staying overnight.Would go back.

@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #24

The camp host and all staff were friendly. The bath house was clean and modern, probably new construction. The campsites are wide and spacious enough.

@micheller44570 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #17

Very enjoyable

@TeresaY6D900F0 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #15

We love Salthouse but something needs to be done to the electrical hookups. We had to move from our Site 47 to site 15.

@AnnEB6053DCAF5 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #32

Core camps are always ideal!

@JamesM3655871 · Camped on Sep 10, 2025 at Campsite #12

@DerrickM7937EF · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #92

Bathrooms and showers were clean, quiet spot nestled in a lake front spot.

The campground is very nice ! Bathhouse is very clean. We have camped there 2x and enjoyed both times.

@LawraC18AD9884 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #26

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.

@CarlB2043472 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #1

Had a great time.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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
