Many visitors appreciate the spacious, shaded sites and the campground's proximity to nature, including hiking and a nearby river.

Our site was huge! Could easily fit six to ten 6-person tents with room to spare. There wasn't much shade in the middle of the site, but if you place your tents just right, the trees along the sides of the site will block most of the morning and late afternoon sun. Streams were running. Very quiet at 10pm. Not too many bugs since it was too cold.

It wasn't crowded (it was Superbowl Sunday). Bathroom was clean. Great hiking real close - Aliso Canyon! Cold at night, though.

Recent visit to Paradise was lovely. The camp host was very friendly, there were wild turkeys running around the campsites, and the bathrooms were spotless and had real flushing toilets.
