Paris Landing State Park Campground

Rented a camping cabin and it was wonderful. Two full beds, mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot along with heat and A/C. Went between Christmas and New Years and it was so quiet and peaceful. I added some Christmas lights to outside cabin to make it festive. I went as a solo camper, felt very safe.

It would be the most amazing place except it’s extremely dangerous!!!!!!!! Not for families with children or the retirees. No security after 5:00 pm . Parties at the marina parking lots are so loud you won’t sleep. The idling of the trucks are hours long. The mischievous shenanigans that happen after you go in your tent or camper all night in your camp site are scary and harassing. Peaking in widows, slapping the side of your camper or tent all night. Shining beams of lights into your camp site. Things messed with . Sounds of foot steps around the tent and camper were none stop every night .The list goes on. I reported all of it. Was lied to about having security all night. Then told by another ranger that nope no one is here after hours. Homeless people hanging around all hours of the night just walking around , using and hanging in and around the bath houses wreaking the bathrooms. Widow maker trees everywhere. No less then 4 giant trees went down during my stay. And huge limbs fell extremely close to my tent and camper .If we wasn’t prepaid I would have left. The workers are nice. But it’s lawless when they leave. Scared for my life tonight while I write this post. So much more. Like no rest. I’m exhausted. It’s 3:30 am and been tortured all night. I hear someone right now !!!!! The “ Lodge “ ? Anyway thought I saw some kind of ritual going on in the woods. Also things like charms being left at the door of my tent. And strange bone and rocks on the side of my tent? True! Dorothy was very nice and accommodating. She was very nice.

Site 57 was great! Private, wooded, close to showers and restrooms. Clean bathrooms full amenities and good water pressure. Kind of wish there were more to the few trails that link to the tent loops but there isn't. Luckily there is plenty of park surrounding the campgrounds. Primitive is the way I prefer to camp and this site was a far better option than site 46 which is what I had originally planned and luckily the Park Staff allowed me to swap at check-in.

My wife and I are first timers at this camp ground and we loved it. The camp sites could get crowded if it was packed but in our experience we had only three other families around and on opposite side of us so it was pretty quiet. The bathrooms we not bad and had showers. The traffic noise was minimal with the occasional big truck passing by. The campground has a small shop with basic items as well as ice and bundles of wood. Be sure to bring cash for it is cash only for wood ($5) a bundle. The staff were supper friendly and helpful. We went on a hike not far on the other side of the highway, you can drive or walk there just ask the staff. The trail was very clean and quiet with well kept paths and obvious trail markers so you don't get turned around. We took our time and spent a little bit at the beach, it's easy to be gone for 2 hours or more. When you get far into the trail there is a loop that leads to a Pebble beach with lots of cool shells and rocks. On the way back we saw trail workers maintaining one of the trails we passed by and I loved to see that. On a side note after the trail we enjoyed some ice cream from the shop and sat on a hill next to the shop and looked over the harbor. There is a restaurant at the harbor but we didn't go there. All in all I highly recommend this camp ground. We enjoyed our stay, thank you to the workers and staff for making it so.

Very well maintained, clean, just a beautiful experience for my wife and I's honeymoon. We camped in the primitive area in our van and it was an amazing experience.
