Rain so hard had to leave early.. the site would have been perfect. No cell coverage and steady rain made it miserable. Lol. We will be back. I want to fish and kayak this lake

We were staying here to attend a concert nearby. Everything worked well. We didnt have time to get on the lake but looked like a pretty area.

Campground was 3/4 empty except for literally the site right next door, a travel trailer with country music cranked and a generator howling, (which could be heard throughout the whole campground) sure there are quiet hours but they don't start until 10 pm. Didn't bother staying as that isn't what I call a relaxing time in the forest, went to Ada Lake instead.

Great facility. Very clean.

The campsite host was very friendly and helpful with our check-in! Our spot was beautiful, with lake access and a good distance from our neighbors. I have Mint Mobile and I had great cell service. 100% recommend!

Very quiet late summer weekend. Campground host was friendly and personable. the only thing i could complain about is that the only drinking water was out of hand pumps rather than a pressurized well. Definitely not a show stopper as we are already talking about next summer.

Overall great, but boat landing issues continue to plague this campground. Landing area is very tight and people continue to park in the middle of the turn-around area. Maybe needs some signage for the clueless. Otherwise the campground continues as a very nice destination.

Nice place, nice host. Recreation.gov is awkward to use.

People were loud. Too many generators running past midnight

This is our favorite spot. The campground is clean, well kept and quiet with the ability to enjoy the noise from loons, owls and frogs.

@JamesLenzL311 · Camped on May 28, 2021 at Campsite #1

Nice, quiet campground. Been going there for nearly 40 years.

@GenevieveF667 · Camped on Jul 10, 2020 at Campsite #24

We love this campground and this site. It had plenty of privacy between the sites and was on the water and 1 site away from the beach and right across from the bathrooms. This campground was very quiet and well maintained and the beach was nice. The other campers were very respectful of one another and the rules. We really enjoyed listening to the loons and the other wildlife we were able to view.

Stayed two nights. First night the campsite next to us was quite loud up to after midnight. It was discussed with the campground hosts and the Forest Service Ranger. There were no issues the second night and the camping experience was pleasant. We would go back to camp there again in the future.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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!!!
