Our camping spot was amazing, the views and water were amazing (very cold though). The shower facilities were cleaner than expected. The trail around the lake was amazing. Jerry and the other host were very helpful and friendly.

I have been camping at this park many times and love it. This last visit was horrible. The noise from other campers was so loud one of us had to go and ask them to keep it down. They were playing music and screaming well into the night. Both loops had many sites that were very loud, kids running through other campsites and several teens right by our site on the water yelling loudly at 7:00 in the morning. The bathrooms smelled horrible when we arrived but that was cleaned up the next day. I am sure there is not much you can do, but you have a right to know.

Small lake, but very quiet. Nice shady sites and clean bathroom. I was in B loop.

@RichardD237266 · Camped on Feb 27, 2025 at Campsite #18

Beautiful campground, well maintained, with friendly staff. Our site was more sloping than we expected, but we were able to get our trailer level with a little work. Our site was also a bit short to fit our trailer and truck but we were able to park the truck in the day use parking area close by. Nature trail around the lake was very nice and sunsets by the lake were beautiful.

So peaceful, great hiking!

@BarbaraI2B96BF · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #27

Wonderful camp hosts, Terry and Jerry made my stay great! Campground well cared for organized. Will definitely return.

@RobertW1226972 · Camped on Feb 13, 2025 at Campsite #4

Park management was very helpful.

@RodgerC85D2097 · Camped on Feb 13, 2025 at Campsite #15

Good overnight spot. Nothing fancy. Perfect for A class , and boxes. We are use to woods and trees and space. Felt too urban and close together. Not suitable for B class.

@DouglasK478021 · Camped on Feb 12, 2025 at Campsite #40

This campground is a gem. The sites are spacious and everything is kept clean and tidy. We love the walking trails and the lake.

@DelwinC76AFE34 · Camped on Feb 10, 2025 at Campsite #22

Great quiet place, beautiful lake. Mountain bike trails in the area. Convenience store with supplies if needed just a few minutes down the road. Had a great time.

@brettj4EBCD3FC · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #15

Excellent camping in the woods. Lots of trees and a good deal of privacy between sites. The picnic table, grill, and fire pit were in good shape. Clean bathrooms. We were right next to the lake but didnt have any trouble with bugs. Jerry and Terry were very helpful, letting us take a look around before deciding to camp and suggesting the best sites for our needs.

@KellyC6920636 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #34

WE only stayed one night but it was peaceful ,the campsites are private and big compared to others which we loved everything was nice and clean the hostesses where nice and helpful we will be back for a longer stay next time for sure!

@GerardoR504A39 · Camped on Feb 7, 2025 at Campsite #19

Very nice spot and beautiful

@ChrisCF871795B · Camped on Feb 7, 2025 at Campsite #5

Staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Our campsite, #5, was large and clean. There was a fire ring, picnic table, lantern pole and bear resistant box for food / cooler storage if needed. Vegetation between the sites allow for some privacy. The bathhouse was clean, however the air hand dryer, at least in the mens room, need to be changed out as it wasnt blowing hard enough to dry my hands. My wifes comment was We can come back here.

@TimothyL290617 · Camped on Feb 2, 2025 at Campsite #34

The facility is well maintained, well kept. Our site and facilities utilized all found to be clean and at the ready for use, this included the showers/bathrooms. Staff member stopped by our site to ensure all was good. He did intro self, if I recall correctly his name was Gerry. He indeed made us feel welcomed! Thanks for such a great experience!!

@BetzyS6FC167B4 · Camped on Feb 2, 2025 at Campsite #10

Facilities were impeccable, campsites are spacious and rangers patrol and check campers to make sure everyone is doing well. The staff is incredibly friendly. I will definitely be back. Absolutely loved camping here!

@RichardB341941 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #35

The grounds remain beautiful and the camp hosts were friendly.

@RorieAC80B5623 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #1

Beautiful, quiet, clean Campground situated around Clearwater lake. Very well maintained showers and bathrooms.

@jaysonm44ADAE9 · Camped on Jan 31, 2025 at Campsite #39

Camping here was perfect. Expect relaxing vibes and a wonderful scene (weather permitting lol).

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jan 30, 2025 at Campsite #35

The site was clean and the hosts were attentive. The bathrooms were not as clean as in the past. There was clearly something growing on the shower walls and not all the lights were functioning.

@DebBA91389CC76 · Camped on Jan 30, 2025 at Campsite #29

Stayed 2 weeks, Camp hosts were outstanding. They go above and beyond to be accommodating. Beach area small, but nice to spend time at. I took my dogs on the trail around the lake, board walk needs repairs so keep that in mind. Ice and firewood available for sale. Bathrooms clean and plenty of shower space.Definitely will return.

@JohnB25C9C5AB2 · Camped on Jan 26, 2025 at Campsite #36

The campground manager and staff were very helpful and provided me with assistance when I needed it. Facility is in goog shape.

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
