INFO thats helpful: There is NO water.We couldnt see any sort of pavilion or shelter. A & B loops are NOT good and A had a bunch of downed trees that made it impossible to camp there. B looked like it had recently been flooded and was a mess. We moved over to C loop which was betterbut they definitely dont do anything to the campsites to maintain them. We were able to find some good spots to put our tents in the C loop though. D loop is by far the best for a group. It has this big open space, lots of room for tents, 3 tables and a big fire pit. None of the other loops should be advertised as group sitesD is the only true group site. It also has the most sites to park cars and put tents etc.There is one latrine for women and one for men. It appeared that they came daily to restock and clean these. This campground is close to the road. The first night was a Thursday and all night long there were super loud trucksit kept us all up. The next night this wasnt the case so not sure why there were so many the first night.

Overall, the campsite was pleasant. There was plenty of space, and it was very quiet as only one other group was present. There was no potable water, which was inconvenient. Most distressing was the fact that our reserved campsite was completely flooded, and we were not notified ahead of time. Thankfully, there were plenty of open spots. Had there not been, this would have been a very stressful situation.

The camp description mentions there is water. There is not any potable water in the area. Other than that we enjoyed the spot.

Not very happy. Website said there was a host and to get firewood from them. There was no host. Website said there was drinking water, but there was not. Maybe try posting correct information next time?

When booking a group site, we expected one large area to put our tents and gather as a family but instead found that we had about 5 normal camp sites all next to each other. It worked great for our family, but night not work as well for others so keep that in mind. We enjoyed our day at Ski Bowl riding the alpine slide and much more! Overall, it was a great weekend. The pit toilets might smell less earlier in the summer.. they were extra smelly for our trip in late August!

Great group site, plenty of room and only a quick trip to local lakes for swimming or fishing!

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!!!
