Friendly staff and very clean, refreshed facilities.

Great campsite. Our site was large and level. The picnic table was new. Our family loved the nightly group campfires. We saw the programs on bears and nocturnal animals. Both rangers were extremely engaging and informative. We all cant wait to go back!
@NathanQ357C5F1 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #F9
Excellent camp facilities - clean bathrooms (with toilets that flush!), new bear boxes, great fire rings and conveniently located near the store, grill and several trailheads. Will stay here again!

Every staff member that we met was friendly and welcoming. Tipping our toes in the river was like heaven. Ice cold heaven. But heaven nonetheless. :)
@MatthewM640374 · Camped on Sep 4, 2025
Campgrounds are newly renovated and amazing!
@KirillS1777269 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025
The campgroung is nicely located, clean and very comfortable to stay. They also have campfires every day during season, which is a great event to attend.
@LauraN1623441 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025
The update campground is wonderful. The ranger programs were much more engaging than in past years.

This is a great site for two tents. The driveway is partially shared with G-22. It is close to the bathroom but not close enough to hear the foot traffic. We were lucky that air quality was great during our stay and it did not rain. The park is beautiful, wonderful hikes, swimming at Tenaya Lake, and sunsets at the meadow. Thanks to previous reviews, we brought hand soap for the bathroom. The campfire talks were fun and informative. Looking forward to returning next year!
@TiffanyLC6777D · Camped on Sep 2, 2025 at Campsite #G7
Very nice campsite, would stay here again. The restrooms were clean and there was never a queue. The site is within walking distance to the store which is convenient.
@JamesP3218459 · Camped on Sep 2, 2025
Been waiting anxiously for 3 years so felt like I had won a lottery to get a campsite. The campground is a mix of familiar with upgrades and also very new and nice. The good roads were superb. Unfortunately my wife was sick so we couldnt really explore and we had to go home early
@IsabellaC29353 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #B4
Bathrooms are clean. Youre walking distance from the Grill and store so if you need something its not a stress or a drive.
@CristinaM34003 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025
It was great!
@VincentBC31AD2 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025
Many campsites had roped off areas all around them. River access was limited by roped off areas. Bathrooms were old and modesty appointed. Limited services - campground store lightly stocked, no gas station for many miles. Mountains and domes in the area are beautiful.
@jays8053974 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #A22
The campground is in great shape and the site (A22) we stayed at was spacious. Backed up against the meadows led to a great time for our family.
@AmyJ9234318 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #C21
I loved the new rennovations to the campground. The sites are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. The check-in was super easy. And it's hard to beat the location. It's nice to be outside of the valley, and have access to tons of day hike trails as well as jumping-off points for longer backpacking trips.
@MaryD6315235 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #C41
Nice campground, really big. Prepare to drive a big loop to exit! Not a lot of privacy, but better than some. I was expecting a lot of policing by the hosts (e.g., clotheslines, coolers out, extra tents), but I didnt see any evidence of that. The site did not have a tent pad, so you could have multiple tents. We had three small tents in a small tent site with no problem. The grocery store was open and stocked for the backpackers in particular, seemed reasonable price wise. Also had coffee. The takeout cafe next door was also open.

We appreciate all that is being done to save the meadowsplus the revamped campground. We had a lovely stayenjoyed the thunder storm and retreated to Tuolumne Lodge for a delicious meal.
@LuisBC7E8D2265 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025
Nice located among the trees, close to the Tuolumne river . If you want a little less noise make sure to pick a site on the outside of the campground. Water, restrooms, and some nice warm food at the grill available by the market store. Short driving distance to Tenaya lake and lots of trailheads. The backpackers camp also quite convenient, though can get a bit crowded since the sites are closer. Short drive from dropoff spot and close to restroom and water
@JohnT2915386 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #F6
Overall the campground has improved. The campsite signage, bear lockers and new picnic tables are great. It would have been nice to have lights at night at the restrooms and two stalls minimum at the men's room. The backpacker's campground is greatly improved; big kudos on that one!

Place is quiet and clean. The campground was quite large and included space for our car. There are few bathrooms/sinks at the location, so consider delays because of lines in the morning.
@PradeepPCAB235 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025
Excellent campground, clean toilets, good water source, spaced out campgrounds, big bear lockers to store enough food. Beautiful location and away from 120. All in all a nice pleasant experience.
@SooimC943A6336 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025
The restroom was very clean and the facilities were excellent, making this truly the best camping experience Ive had so far.However, firewood was not sold nearby, so I had to drive over an hour to get some. Also, the quiet hours after 10 p.m. were not properly enforced, which was quite inconvenient.I specifically chose a site right next to the river, but some people parked in our campsite and walked through it to access the river, which was very uncomfortable. Even though there was a clear no dogs sign, people ignored it and repeatedly passed through our site with their dogs to go to the river. That was very frustrating.
@MarioL26918A06 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025
We spent 4 wonderful nights here, had a LOVELY campsite and enjoyed every bit of it (even tho the nights were pretty cold!).
@JeffM1730911 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025
We were just there for 9 nights. Overall, we had a very good experience, however some campsites, including ours, are far from the bathrooms and water spigots. Our spot was also next to the trash dumpsters which made a sound like the Titanic sinking every time someone used them. Maybe move them across the road? Or at the very least oil the hinges. Bathrooms were very clean but I would recommend putting some coat hooks in the stalls and soap dispensers by the sinks. Finally we went to every campfire ranger talk while we were there and the rangers are greatand we learn something new every talk. Finally, thanks to all the volunteers.

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
