What a beautiful setting! Very clean and quiet. And the restrooms were very well kept and clean. Some of the cleanest Ive ever experienced at a campground. Cant wait to return!

Campground is very clean, the bathrooms are super clean. The hosts are fantastic. Our only complaint is there are no showers at a Lake Mary you have to drive down to Twin Lakes General store and the cost is $8 a shower.

Amazing Host, dedicated and kind. Bathrooms were very clean and organized.Camping there was a great experience. Wished it had showers and electricity as well as a place to wash dishes. But overall the sites are great and the lake is perfect.

A wonderful camping site with clean and maintained services. Close to hikes and incredible waterfront spaces. A worthwhile stay for outdoor enthusiasts!

Great site but I did not stay due to a heath issue and the weather changing.

@MichaelH990269 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #20

Great site - spacious, beautiful and clean!

@LennetteT692E9 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #34

It was great! Our campsite was good enough for two tents and the neighboring sites were close by. As soon as we got there, there was a mama bear looking for snacks and found someones food. Keep your food/drinks strictly in the picnic area and place them away in the bear box. There is high bear activity, but seem to be used to people. They just want our food. Beautiful lake, no showers. Twin lake showers are near and you can use those if needed. Nearby trail called Crystal lake is a beautiful hike, a bit challenging but rewarding.

Clean, quiet, and peaceful.

The campsite was really small. The other campsites are literally next to you. You have pass through their tent to get water. The bathrooms are far away. The host does not care how many people are in a site let alone how many tents you can put up. The last night there were about 6 tents and over 10 people.

Great place to give kids experience of camping fishing and the out doors

@OleksandrF3DF8 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #20

Loved it

@RajanM9744A4C1 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #42

The campsite is walking distance to the lake. Lots of shade and very close to the bathrooms. The bathrooms were cleaned daily.

@JeffV8927367 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #26

Great place to camp

@DarcyH8688162 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #17

Beautiful lake with a rugged high Sierra backdrop with fabulous bike trails.Campground host was the only one disturbing what was orherwise a relaxing few days with his extremely noisy leaf blower going before 7am and at other times during the day, blowing clouds of dirt we we forced to breathe, blasting John Denver albums outside in his site, and let his dog wander off leash so it came to our site causing a confrontation with our dogs which caused my old dog injury.

@LawrenceW87932 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #16

We had site 16 which should NOT be a site at all. The hosts were outstanding, campground vibe was fine.BUT with any rain, the campsite itself was designed to flood. It was such a mess we almost left except we had a hike planned we didn't want to miss. The area around our bear box was an absolute mud hole.

@GeraldH8493789 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #46

Campsite has nice view. Fairly close to water and bathroom. However, you have to park below campsite and walk up small hill that is very slick because of smooth rocks and loose gravel. Fortunately my son was able to bring everything up to site. Several people in sites 47 and 48 just stayed below in parking lot in their RV's.

@JenK5B1DDE7231 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #2

The camp hosts Joyce and ed were excellent. I have stayed here for years and the campground was so clean and lovely!

@ChristianC0049 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #43

Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Will come back to visit again. Wish we new about the mosquitos beforehand but that's on us.

@MimiG541B58B7C · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #10

The good: clean flush toilets, beautiful views, close to numerous hikes. However, certain sites are very small and surrounded by neighbors. Sites 10 and 11 are similar to camping in a parking lot. Most sites are better for tent camping, not Rv.

@MayraD5A01E7B0 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #2

I love this campsite. I'm here once a year during the summer. I just wish they had showers. Going to Twin lake store to shower for $8 a person is inconvenient. The host were kind and helpful. No reception here.

@BrianH4556502 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #31

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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!!!
