bear river

Where the Bear River winds through southwestern Washington's coastal lowlands, this dispersed camping area sits roughly 5 miles northeast of the small logging community of Naselle. Campers access riverside spots along gravel roads that branch from state routes, with the river providing both a water source and natural boundary for the camping zone.

The dispersed format means no designated sites or facilities, requiring self-contained camping equipment and Leave No Trace practices. River access varies by season and recent weather, as winter rains can affect road conditions and water levels. For additional camping infrastructure, RV Park At The Bridge provides full hookups about 5 miles southwest.
