Amazing spot. Great location. The camp host was really attentive and kept it comfortable and clean. She made sure our time was great. A BIG THANKS to her and her family helpers.

The campsite was very rocky and you needed adequate light to make sure you didnt fall.

Its a pretty nice campground overall. The lake is really nice. It is pretty difficult to shore fish from anywhere other the dam area. Theres a lot of driftwood, dead trees, rocks and shallow spots so its easy to snag and the is fishing tackle trash all over because of this. The campground has a lot of nice spots, some better than others. The spot we chose was a little close to our neighbors and not ideal when looking to get away from people. Most of the spots here will not accommodate larger trailers easily. Small, tent trailers or tent camping is ideal for most of the spots I saw. There are some spots that will accommodate some medium sized RV trailers. Overall the trip didnt feel terribly crowded, but it definitely feels like a bit of a yuppy tourist trap if youre really wanting to get away from people. Peak season the weather is perfect and its great to get out of the heat. The lake is excellent for paddle boarding and there are some fun little bays to navigate and explore

I loved the campground at Trial Lake, a few more bathrooms would be nice and l wasnt sure where my lot was, it was hard to see when we arrived and were confused where to turn on the roads.

@RebeccaS312468 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #17

A beautiful campground that is well maintained. There is no drinking water available. You must bring your own. The bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of toilet paper, but it was a busy week and the bathrooms smelled like you would expect vault toilets to smell with a lot of people using them. Our campsite had plenty of shade. Most campsites around the perimeter of the campground had shade, while those in the center didn't seem to have much shade. We enjoyed being farther from the lake where it is a bit quieter and lots of trees for shade. We recommend hiking from the nearby Chrystal Lake Trail Head to Long Lake. A moderate 2 mile hike. There are many lakes to hike to in that area so you can choose a longer or shorter route. Well marked trail. Beautiful scenery. We had a wonderful time and hope to go back some time.

The camp hosts were great!

@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #34

Great location although the sites and service facilities could do with an upgrade.

@JordanG5807035 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #8

Great spot, right on the lake. Note - only really area for one tent, but as long as you are a smaller group - this is as good as it gets!

@OrlandoD1A40FA · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #1

Great views, great hikes, great fishing. The bathrooms were very clean. We loved Trial Lake campground.

@LANCEDB957D22B · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #39

No water available. Has been this way for over 5 years. Insects were terrible. Camp host was not very attentive to duties. Area , fishing, other campers were cordial and friendly.

@JeffD9403272 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #60

We loved Trial lake. The campground was ready to go when we got there and the lake was full!The CG hosts were friendly and ready to help us get settled in. The weather was spectacular and we enjoyed our stay. We were told about a cool hike right below the dam. I guess there is a waterfall there. Next time!

@Christina28186 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #1

We've stayed at Trial Lake before and it is very nice. This year because of the snow and flooding, we were there mid-July and the campground had just opened. This time we stayed in site #1 -- a double site. It is at the bottom of a big hill which really limited where we could put our tents. There are 2 10x10 tent pads, but one of our tents is 14x14, so we had to put it in the grass and sleep on an incline. The location of the site is literally right across the road from the lake. We would just walk across with our chairs and kayaks and enjoyed the day, but it also meant that other people were parking at our site or literally walking thru the middle of the site to get to the water (nothing to do with the campground, just people's bad manners.) The water was beautiful. The site itself had a ton of bugs and small worm like bugs were falling out of the trees over the picnic tables. I like the lake, but I wouldn't stay at site #1 again.

@AliciaW2592121 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #25

The camp hosts at Trial Lake are incredible. They keep the bathrooms and campsites looking so clean and awesome. This really is a beautiful place to spend time together.

@Claudiaa486986 · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #40

The overall experience was fine. There's a bit of a walk down hill from the parking spot to the firepit and picnic table. There was no place to put our tent so we put it up in the parking spot.

@ScottN8104786 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #7

There was not any running water and usually get an email or text when that happens.

@KennethC181016 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #9

peaceful... beautiful... nice place to share with a loved one

@AngelaC1480345 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #53

Beautiful and peaceful. Very well maintained bathrooms and campsites. Great experience. Hope to go back often.

@LucyK8289670 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #8

Clean pit toilet and great campsite

@RitaS7165023 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #47

Beautiful campground with a nice separation between the site. Lots of trees and of course the lake is great. The camp host was very helpful. Each site has a fire ring you can barbecue on and a picnic table.

@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!!!
