It's a nice campsite next to a beautiful meadow! My only complaints are that our bathrooms were closed so we had to walk and use another group site's bathroom, and that there was a problem with people rolling up and car camping in our designated parking lot, so using our campsite without permission.

The site was very large and had a good combination of shade and sun. A few flat spots for tents. One of the water spigots had a leak below ground. There was pooled up water leading away from this area which the yellow jackets congregated around. This has obviously been an issue for some time as there was some nice patches of green grass growing next to the little "pond." Bathrooms were pit toilets, but so much better than a porta-john. Firepit was large. Overall a good spot for a few families.

Huge site with plenty of room. The in-ground fire pit was nice along with 3 cooking fire pits. Very peaceful. Easy access to meadow hiking trail.

The bathrooms were filthy. I cleaned them myself. Otherwise, the site was great. Bring gloves, bleach, cleaner, soap, and sponges with you!

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.

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.

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!!!
