Camp host, Jill, is sociable, and willingly offers information to questions. She keeps an eye out for guests and can reach out to emergency services if needed despite poor cell service; also does a diligent job of caring for camp facilities.

The lake is very nice. Many good hiking trails for all levels. The camp host is a hoot. When we were there the campground was nearly empty which was nice. Make sure you have plenty of mosquito repellent and/or a screen room.

Nice campground, nice hostess. There were a lot of mosquitos. The lake is beautiful. The water from the hand pump is delicious! For RV campers you cannot hook a hose to the pump.

@JeniferO0B9A6F · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #17

This is definitely off the grid! Beautiful lake and surroundings. The camp has drinking water and its wonderful, however there is not any potable water for your RV. Jill the camp host is a delight and keeps the place super clean, even the vault toilets are above tolerable.Bring bug spray, lots of mosquitoes, but that should be expected next to a lake.

Nice campground with clean outhouses. The boat launch area is easy to navigate. The biggest complaint was the constant swarms of mosquitoes. That made it hard to enjoy being outside.

@JenineW19E8B3D · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #20

The camp hostess was amazing. She went above and beyond to make our experience top notch. The bathrooms were spotless and the campgrounds clean and inviting. Can’t wait to visit again.

@JohnA1386005 · Camped on Sep 1, 2022 at Campsite #19

This is a beautiful place. Peaceful and quiet with many nearby attractions. Jill the camp host was one of the most friendly and hospitable hosts we've encountered in our years of Idaho camping. She made the stay that much better. Will be back.

Volunteer camp host was wonderful! We had reserved a spot to make sure we got one, but once we arrived found a FF site we preferred. She was very kind about us switching. Came around later to check on us and even offered free firewood if we ran out. Beautiful area, would definitely return!

@MartF4199872 · Camped on Jul 17, 2022 at Campsite #15

Very clean campground. Jill, the volunteer camp host, is a treasure.

@MarissaP728826 · Camped on Jul 8, 2022 at Campsite #14

Really nice and quiet campground! Great host, clean facilities. Lots of mosquitos, but can’t hold that against the campground. Biggest issue for us was just the set up of the site itself. No established tent pads which made it a little difficult to set up. In all, nice little site!

Camped on a weekday and it was quiet except for the free range cattle in the area. Good location to access tons of hikes in the area.

The area was beautiful. The camphost was great.We had a nice spot. The restrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I have ever seen. Even our neighboring campers were nice. What's not to love.

Great campground. However, most other campsites were having campfires despite the fire ban.

Great campsite on a nice lake. Very quiet and peaceful. The camp host, Jill, is the most friendly and helpful camp host I've ever met--a really awesome person!

Campsite and restroom were well taken care of, and camp host was super friendly and helpful. She directed us to leftover firewood and also lake access. Goose Lake access is very close and easy to get to. We would definitely stay again!

@KyleneP673 · Camped on Aug 4, 2020 at Campsite #15

We enjoyed our stay. Our only complaint was there are not really good places to pitch a tent. The ground was sloped and bumpy. We were hoping that the campground had the nice sand filled tent pads we have enjoyed in other campgrounds. We ended up setting the tent up in the hard packed gravel parking area. There was no way to put tent pegs in the ground so we anchored the tent with rocks. Everything else there was very serviceable. We enjoyed kayaking the lake. The camp host was friendly and knowledgeable.

@GregB866 · Camped on Jul 17, 2020 at Campsite #19

The lady camp host was outstanding she was very pleasant and very helpful. The toilets were the cleanest I have ever seen in a forest service campground. We had a great time!

@StevenC110 · Camped on Jul 10, 2020 at Campsite #14

Fishing in the lake was weak but the creek had a lot of brookies...

@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!!!
