Very noisy campers next to us. Up yelling all night. Didnt sleep very much because of this. Would like a refund.

There was plenty of space for a large group to gather. Plenty of parking, picnic tables and BBQ grills. Also plenty of shades.

wasn't able to visit and tried to cancel 7 days out but the cancel policy is 14 days out. I had to forfeit my 1st night. Not good. Expensive mistake. Suggestion, please make this a 7 day cancel similar to other CA camp grounds. thanks

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!!!
