Paulina Lake Campground
L
Reviewed May. 22, 2018

Clean park, helpful rangers, need more gray water dumps. Beautiful lake.

The main boat ramp has a lot of lake grass and floating snails. Kind of weird when getting into my kayak, but was fine once you get into the actual lake....you don’t get tangled in. Lake was beautiful and clear...could almost always see the bottom. The park was very clean, and felt restful and quiet. Large spaces. Clean bathrooms, but no showers. Would have to go next door to East Lake for that. Needs more gray water dump areas, I noticed. Loved it there. Would definitely go back again, but would want a lakeside spot. We were next to the main road in the back, but heard ZERO traffic. I just like seeing the water, so would like lakeside. Loved the little chipmunks! The Paulina Falls were beautiful...a bit of a short hike down to them and back up from the parking lot....and can hike there from the campgrounds, not very far. The Obsidian Flow area was very close, and well worth doing. To hike to the top, wear good shoes and long pants. Very easy to accidentally cut yourself on the sharp obsidian rocks. Need sure footing toward the top, but trails are clear. Beautiful views, and you’ll be in awe of how big this natural area is, and how it happened.
