Very pretty, well maintained, and spacious campsite under hard woods. This site was a short set of stairs away from the restroom.
@DeborahR772108 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #D10
It was a well spaced campground, quiet and everyone was friendly. The downfall was the facilities, most of the showers were closed, only one open for the entire campground, one toilet out of three were open in the D loop. The facilities could use an update. It was close to downtown N. Woodstock and Lincoln, and great hiking trails!

We only spent one night there on the way back from the Maritime provinces, but it was very nice, quiet and clean.
@SheehanME7C125 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #D7
Nice location for access to town and the National Forest amenities. Forest Service needs to address the 7 out of 8 showers being broken. Personally unacceptable. On a holiday weekend with a full camp and only one working shower is not acceptable. (And one whole bathroom complex out of commission).
@LisaM2898345 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #C8
it is a shame such a beautiful and normally well appointment campground has deteriorated over the years. yes we're those tent campers that for years have enjoyed a hot shower and clean working bathrooms while enjoying our stay. Can management please update us/ Web site when bathrooms and plumbing plan to be repaired?
@Ghislaine24986 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #E14
The campground is going downhill! Only one shower works out of four! Toilets and faucets don't work, spigots don't work, and there's an extreme lack of toilet paper!
@BethZ6B616F31E · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #F2
Campground was not very crowded and we were the only ones in our small spur. Our spot had a great little waterfall that gave off the best sound in the quiet night. Bathrooms and showers were clean but a bit of a walk. Bring quarters for the shower. The mountain pond was pretty cool but we did not boat or swim on this trip. Woodstock was a neat town with some shops, restaurants and breweries about 25 minutes away.
@williamj9FCFBB · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #E3
Excellent experience. Site should state when booking that there is no dish washing facility so campers can prepare correctly.
@CameronB398997 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #D4
Simple the best!
@GregS1457823 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #G2
Beautiful campground. Clean. Amazing atmosphere and location! Cool fresh air being up so high in elevation. My primary concern is serious though: the water from the spigots was non-potable and needed to be boiled before use. That was concerning so we were forced to conserve water or change dinner/cooking plans as a result of the contaminated water. I hope this is fixed before next season.
@MarieD6A920430 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #D5
Due to end of season some of the toilets and showers were out of order and the water sources were contaminated with e.coli
@BruceH7382571 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #E14
Very quant and lovely park. It would be nice if the broken handicap sink in the men's room was repaired as well as the second sink in the ladies room.
@ChrisG1203337 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #C8
The Russell Pond Campground region is one of my favorite places in the world! Well kept and simple. It's almost the same now as it was in the 1970's, and that is what makes it great. My parents loved it, my siblings loved it and now my kids love it.
@AnthonyC360221 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #B2
The campsite seemed nice at first glance but after a weekend there I dont think we will be returning. The bathrooms closest to us only had one working toilet and the showers were both out of service. After speaking to other people we found out every single shower except one was out of service. Additionally there was no sound insulation from the trees; you could hear every other campsite, even those decently far away.
@ChiYunL7E3E470 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #C9
Quiet and beautiful campground. facilities were conviently located and functional
@SaraJ6964170 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #C4
Easy to find the campsite, which was located up some stairs into the forest. Felt much more private than a typical drive-in campground. Very level ground to set up tent and good fire pit.
@JessyL16DF12DC · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #D11
The sites are nice. We had a site that was spacious and private. However the bathrooms are few and far between, requiring quite a walk from many sites, and in bad shape. We used two different bathrooms and found only 1 of 4 showers working and at least half the toilets and sinks out of order. They need significant attention.
@JosephM2374984 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #G1
A great campground to get away from it all. Very spacious secluded sites. Russell pond is a perfect kayak/paddle board spot. Nice little beach to sit and spot loons or eagles. The host was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back there.
@DeboraP7291A8C · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #E14
We were up there several times this year. The bathrooms have not been fixed the entire summer. They are not enforcing the rules. They are not picking up trash that people leave around the pond. There was a tree that fell blocking half the road which was not taken care of for a week, I have been going up there for 50+ years and I feel this was the worst year of all of them
@LynneTC3639481 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #G3
Great location. Very peaceful during the week. Was advised by other campers to avoid the weekends. Nighttime Loon music was a plus.
@TomM3609852 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #B8
I could not find a working shower in the campground. Several sinks and toilets were out of service as well.
@DebbieY454286C · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #C9
Excellent location, great facilities! It was nice to have a bathroom and sink, as well as the option to shower (you will need quarters FYI). The only caveat is that this place does not have a sink for dishwashing, but there were plenty of water spigots and we could wash at the campsite without a problem. The only challenge is that some groups were a bit loud in the evenings and did not respect quiet hours, so I would keep that in mind if you wanted a more quiet space to camp. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this campground.
@WMARKH8707AFD9 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #C5
The campsite was very nice. It was more secluded than I thought which was a positive. One of the showers was out of order, but another one was nearby. There is limited lake access and I thought it would have a bit more.
@LisaB5569950 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #D1
Great place!
@CarolineM73728 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #E5
Wonderful campground. The pond is very nice and allow to swim after hiking as well as kids having fun. The only comments are the clean up of toilet and shower. I went there july 1, the shower for the service building in loop E was closed as well as 2 toilets out of 3. I went back the weekend of july 12 and it was still the same. this is unfortunate to see that nothing was done in 2 weeks to make it work.

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.
