We stay there every year. The campground host is very helpful and friendly. I believe his name is Tim. Only wish is that the water was still turned on that time of year.

The campground has been well cared for with some of the cleanest bathrooms we have seen. Tim is a great campground host and does an amazing job of taking care of things. It was quiet and we enjoyed all of the hiking opportunities right from camp.

Such a peaceful, out of the way spot. Rustic for sure, but that makes it special.

The proximity of the campground to the Flat Tops Wilderness and surrounding view, Trapper's Lake, and the chance to have a wonderful meal at the Lodge was spectacular. Tim was the most kind and helpful campsite manager that added to a wonderful experience for our family.

We reserved 4 sites in the Shepherd's Peak campground in January for a late July-August trip for a multi-family trip. When we arrived we fell in love with the Himes Peak campground and spoke with the camp hosts who allowed us to change our campsites from Shepherd's Rim to Himes Peak. Both of the camp hosts who helped us with our change were very kind to do so (Tim and Ted) and we had a great time at the Himes Peak campground with our camp host Ted! The Himes Peak campsites are at the Big Fish trailhead and a couple hundred yards from the upper White River (Rio Blanco). Mosquitos were mild, afternoon thunderstorms were spectacular and the fishing was fair. Camping was outstanding!

We were in one of the most spacious sites, 11. There were 3 tent pads. We were surrounded by trees. The hummingbirds and many more bird species were fun visitors. Tim was a great camp host. The area was serene and beautiful. Lots to explore.

Certainly the most beautiful campsite weve had this year!! the Camp Host Jim was exceptional !! The hiking is great even through the burn scar trails are a little narrow, cause theyre mostly developed by horses. We plan to come back in the fall to enjoy the aspens.

Very friendly & helpful camp host! Tim gave us great fishing tips. The campsite itself is quiet, with multiple water sources and very clean toilets. Definitely bring mosquito repellent, but we didn't find the mosquitoes to be oppressive as long as we kept up with the bug spray. Can't wait to come back!

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.
