  Seaquest State Park Campground

  Loved it

  Stayed in a yurt at this campground. The showers take tokens. It was a nice set up and base camp for our adventures in the mt St. Helens area.

  Seaquest State Park

  Yurts! Who can pass up a night in a yurt? There are a handful of yurts a short walk from the parking lot. Unfortunately the yurts are a little close together, but it’s still pretty. There are also RV and tent camping options. Trails criss-cross the whole campground and you can walk to the Mt. St. Helen’s visitor center. Amazing views from some of the hiking trails, but the campground is densely forested so don’t expect much for mountain views. Our campsite had nice privacy and was big. Not far from route 5 and really easy to find.

  Easy Access to Mount St Helens

  Loved the yurt village, which is in its own area on the other side of the campground from the regular sites. Yurts and restrooms were clean. Beware the mosquitos! We always get eaten alive when we stay at Seaquest. Easy access to the Mount St Helens area. Johnston Ridge Observatory was closed when we were there but we were still able to see some amazing views and get some nice hikes in nearby.

  Seaquest State Park Campground

  Beautiful campground in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens.

  This is a great campground for families. They have bathroom facilities and an old school playground. We stayed in the yurt village, which was outstanding. The park staff works hard to keep this place clean. The Mt. St. Helens visitors center is a 10 minute walk from the campground. There is a wonderful ADA accessible 1 mile trail that goes through the wetlands.

  Ranger Review: Midland XTalker 4 Pack at Seaquest

  Campground Review:

  I recently visited one of my favorite campgrounds with my family. Seaquest is at the base of Mt St Helens, right next to the Mt St Helens Visitor Center. They have tons of activities for kids and a great learning space about the volcano. At the campground, there are easy trails for kids to go on. The campground is surrounded by trees and wildlife. One thing I love about this space is the yurts are in their own area. We have yet to take advantage of reserving all the yurts at once for a family event, but I am excited for when we do. There is an amazing playground for the littles at the center of the campground. If you reserve a campsite around the playground, you can very easily sit at the fire, while being able to keep an eye on the littles.

  Product Review

  I also love how quiet and safe this campground is. I allow my littles to ride their bikes through this campground. Using the Midland X-Talkers with them makes communication so much easier! Each child, my husband, and I were able to have a radio. My girls were in love with their "camping phones". I was able to put their radios on their bikes very easily and by turning the volume up all the way, they were able to ride and listen. The radios have belt clips that held up during my run and my girls' bike rides. They also are small enough that they fit easily in a 6-year-olds pocket. I plan on making a clip for their bikes for easy holding on their handlebars. The range was tested to over five miles!! The only downside was the radios used 4 AAA batteries rather than having a rechargeable battery. However, so far, it seems like the battery life is really good, so I can't complain that much. We tested these with Midland radios one of my uncles has, and the radios were compatible with the X-Talkers so my young cousins could use them.

  Overall, I am very impressed with the radios and look forward to using them for future trips.

  Lone Fir Resort

  Milkshakes, Pancakes and Cougar Camping

  The best things about Lone Fir Resort are the location and the restaurant.  I first discovered Lone Fir when looking for a place to stay the night before a Mt St Helens Summit, and I've been back a number of times - usually for breakfast before a big hike or lunch/dinner/icecream after an adventure.

  There is also wifi here- it's not free, but it's worth paying when your phone doesn't work and you really want to upload those pictures of your Mt St Helens Summit!

  There's also a small pool

  Tons of things to do and that's just the campground

  We used this campground as our base camp for exploring the area. Walk down to the river, play on the field, drive up to Mt St Helens visitor's center.

  Mountain top lake campground

  Incredible, free, private. Tent sites only, short hike in from parking lot, bring your own everything. Pit toilets, lake access, close to Mt. St. Helens activities. Four miles from Cougar.

  Was hard for us to get a good nights sleep in between a highway and train tracks. Spots were fine, bathrooms good, pool good (when not too busy). Good access to Mt St Helens.

  Location is everything

  Good clean campground. Many of the sites have good privacy. Restrooms are clean and one is quite new. ADA options. 7 miles of reasonably maintained trails though not marked very well. Park map is terrible. Location is everything with easy access to Mt St Helens learning centers and observatory.

  Just passing through

  I stopped at Mt. St. Helens while travelling from Seattle down to Oregon and had a great run on the trails. I spent more time on the trails than expected and hadn't made plans for a campground. I found Seaquest State Park in the NPS Gazette and drove in just as the sun was setting. I spent the night and although I didn't visit the entire park, it did seem like a nice, family oriented campground. The bathrooms were clean and while the campsites are relatively close together, there are sufficient trees and shrubs to maintain privacy. The bathroom facilities were satisfactory.

  Great wooded spot!

  Had a great time here, the sites were spaced out and private. It was a bit noisy being by the road, but there are spots farther away that would be a lot quieter. Went paddle boarding nearby in a great lake and took the time to drive up to Mt. St. Helens.

  Great Spot!

  Campsite 32 backed up to the day camp area with a playground. Perfect for our family with 3 kiddos. We were able to let them go play and be close by. Plenty of trees for semi-private campsite. We had a blast! Great place to catch views of Mt St Helens and 1 hour away from Johnson Observatory.

  Solid spot

  Only about 7 minutes to the visitors center for mt St. Helens. There’s about 200 rv spots but they do have a couple tent spots. Free showers and a pool and games. They even have laundry. We couldn’t get a hold of anyone on the phone so we just stopped in and got a spot for one night while we were driving through. If you want to be in more of a tree vibe, ask for the back spots.

  Glamping

  Tiny little town gem. Super clean and nice full hookups including cable (I didn’t get mine to work but I’ve never tried before so that’s probably my lack of knowledge) laundry pool table video games swimming pool full bar restaurant that will deliver to your campsite! (I didn’t do it) If you’re going exploring the south side of st helens this is a great place to stay oh and they have cabins you can rent too. I recommend reservations. Cheers

  Seaquest State Park Campground

  Nice park primitive sites $20 pw $30 full hookups $35. Full hookup sites are more like a RV park than a campground

  Not far from freeway and Mt St Helens visitors center. The Johnson Ridge observation point is about another 35 miles away. Both were closed when we were there on 3/26/21. There are sites from tent only to full hookup. The ones towards the front are close together with power and water. Thick trees makes it pretty shady. The biggest sites are in the back loop. They were closed not sure if it was the season or the fact that many had extensive wind damage.

  It's fine, mostly it's just close to St. Helens

  A bit crowded and the sites aren't really spread apart, the road through it is paved, and it's full service, so not exactly the rustic experience that I usually go for. But it's also got a lot of trees so they help make it feel more remote and spread out than it actually is. Our camp host was nice. Parking space at our site was big enough for two cars. Not my first choice, but the proximity to St. Helens made it worth it, especially for a last minute back up plan.

  Secluded campsites, nice facilities

  We went over Labor Day weekend with a small group and had two adjacent campsites. The sites were large and well graded. They were also well separated from each other with lots of vegetation dividing them. Bathrooms seemed to have been recently upgraded and were some of the nicer state park bathrooms we’ve come across. Kids enjoyed the junior ranger program and the Mt St Helens visitor center across the road has great exhibits on the eruption. About a 40 minute drive to Coldwater lake where you can access a number of trails closer to the volcano.

  Family campground

  This is a great family campground.

  We (2-adults) spent two nights: Sun & Mon. The campground is huge but our site felt fairly private even though there were lots of campers around. Good, clean services (toilet, water, trash bins); it's very well maintained. 

  We explored the area near Mt. St. Helens during the day; there are plenty of lakes and hikes around. 

  For what it is it's great. If you are looking for more remote and fewer campers, it may not be your first choice but for an easy getaway between Portland and Seattle, we enjoyed our time.

  Toutle River RV Resort

  Kid-Friendly with lots to do near Mt. St. Helens

  Well situated. Just off I-5, about 10 miles from the Mt. St. Helens Visitor Center and about an hour north of Portland, Oregon. Lots to do, especially for kids. There's a swimming pool, basketball court, huge playground, volleyball, disc golf course, picnic table areas and woods to run in.

  Everything is fairly well maintained, but like HBO's Westwood's park, it gets stranger the further you get from the center of the park. Off on the edges the spots get more weedy, there's a railroad track on one side and the freeway on the other. But stay to the middle and everything is very well maintained and fun.

  A bit more expensive than other more run down spots in the area ($43 or so), but in general worth it for its nice location and amenities.

  Tips: not all spots have fire pits, so if that's important to you, be sure to ask for one.

  Cougar RV Park and Campground

  Great Camp Hosts!

  We stayed here at the end of August with plans to do lots of hiking in the mount st helen area. This is a great spot to drop your RV and head up to the mountain! Full hookup spots did seem close together and it was a tad busy being summer and all! We happened to be tucked away in a corner closer to the road (which didnt bother us at all). No real bathrooms close to us, just portables which were very clean so again no problem for us! Will come back next summer for sure, two mini marts/gas stations close by too. Camp hosts were super nice people!

  Cougar RV Park and Campground

  Easy, comfortable, pretty quiet campground near St Helens south side

  We are a professional late 50s / early 60s couple new to the van life, and not RV-oriented, so we are a little careful about choosing sites with adequate peacefulness, space and privacy.  Cougar is a relaxed campground worthwhile as a base camp for the south side of Mt St Helens and its great lava tubes and forest hikes, so we ended up staying a second night as it had good hot showers, potable water, shade and friendly hosts.  Although our rented Cabana van of 19'8" had a toilet and shower onboard, we didn't need to use them.  This campground has available wood and sufficient space, and it's a 5-minute walk to a general store, gas station and restaurant, so well positioned.

  love this campground

  this is mor like glamping. they have showers and restrooms. and most sites have electricity and water. it’s very convenient and if you need to go to town it’s about 15-20 Minuets away. they have a nice dock where you can launch you kayaks and any water gear. make sure to bring sunscreen and water shoes if you decide to walk on the dock, it’s is scolding hot. They tell you there is no swimming but there is spots where you can go in and swim. just watch out for the current. We do a yearly trip here and stay for a full week. it’s the best!

  Seaquest State Park (Mt St Helens)

  • electric and water
  • dump station included in fee which was $40/night *if not camping here, it is $5 to dump
  • heavily treed *about 40 miles from campsite to main visitor center for Mt St Helens *If you want to see Spirit Lake etc, you will want to camp closer to the mountain. From Sequest State Park, it was a 10 hour day to do the loop in order to see the east side, with only one short hike thrown in. *as of this date, all visitor centers are closed due to covid. But for some reason the forest service and park service feel it's ok/safe to keep the gift shops open... masks are required. *the signage at the overlooks is very good however, so we felt we weren't left short of information with the visitor centers closed.

  Roamer Sites - Oregon

  Fast WiFi, skate park, gym, tramps

  This place is incredible. First to cover the basics.

  The internet is super fast - I was getting 75mbps up/down when I was in my tent.

  They have power/water hookups at each parking spot. The glamping tents have heaters, lights etc. There are heated indoor bathrooms with nice free hot water showers just a short walk away.

  This place is at a year round camp/school that has multiple skate parks, trampolines, mountain biking courses, all season ski jumps etc. it’s an action sports camp.

  They provide things like firewood and ice which they put in your cooler.

  The people are super nice and accommodating. Ask for Jim - he handles all the camping stuff.

  Eagle Cliff Campground

  Last stop on summer trip

  We picked this campsite as our last stop on a week long camping trip round Rainer and St. Helens area. Nice flat camping area, picnic bench fire pit, a bit of a mosquito challenge but not too bad. Lots of families, and maybe even groups. Has showers, which is what we mainly booked for. Small general store, basketball hoop, pizza shop, and some cabin rentals. Luckily the dance party ended just after dark, so we got plenty of sleep. Stayed only 1 night. Plus is ranger station 5 minutes from site, with maps, stickers, fridge magnets, etc. Ranger gave us detail on ape caves, and other are hikes for kids, AND ranger was cool enough to tell us all about his Bigfoot experience in the area, complete with mobile phone picture of footprint! Lots of kids and teens, but some fisherman too, who didn’t seem to mind the dance music and footballs flying around!

  Seaquest State Park Campground

  Beautiful, clean, quiet.

  My family loves this campground. It is very peaceful, very clean, friendly people. Paved roads surround several loops. Tent camping and trailer camping is plentiful. Majority of sites are private. There is a playground for kids and many trails surrounding the park. We live within 20 min and this is our choice for camping. The campground is located across the highway from one of 3 Mt St Helens visitor center with a tunnel that goes under the Hwy to get you safely from the campground to visitor center. If you are going to see the mountain this park is a great place to stay at and then head up to the mountain in the morning and come back to camp another night. There is a very nice ADA accessible trail around the wetlands that are on Silver Lake. If you enjoy star gazing there is a large open field that you can lay in at night and make a wish on numerous shooting stars you may see. Absolutely a great place to stay for a night or a week.
