Paradise Campground offers a great camping experience, with clean facilities, friendly and professional camp hosts, and a peaceful atmosphere. Many visitors appreciate the spacious, shaded sites and the campground's proximity to nature, including hiking and a nearby river.

Nice enough stay. Unfortunately, not a lot of love shown to California public campgrounds. So many squirrels, felt like a squirrel takeover. Honestly, I don’t think I would return.

We have gone to this campground three times now and have enjoyed each year. This year did have some set backs with the rain coming from a waterfall at the top of the campground and flooding everything but otherwise the entire place is well kept. Bathrooms are clean. Flushable toilets although no sink to wash hands. Hosts are nice as well.

Camp host were super friendly. Campground was super clean. Only complaint would be the ground squirrels and their holes, but it is their full time home we are just visiting.
