County Line Park

Anglers can fish directly from their campsites at County Line Park, a municipal campground positioned along the Columbia River eight miles east of Cathlamet. The park provides electric hookups, a dump station, and both drive-in and walk-in access for RVs and tent campers.

The sandy terrain creates challenges when wind picks up, with fine particles infiltrating gear and equipment. Highway 4 runs directly adjacent to the campground, generating consistent truck traffic and engine braking noise throughout the night. Alan K. notes "clean restrooms, and shower" along with "nice wide sites" that provide electric hookups and picnic tables.

Sites sit closely together with limited privacy between neighbors. The shower facilities show permanent staining that resists cleaning efforts. Early morning brings heavy fishing activity as anglers compete for prime river access points. Rates range from $30-40 per night with reservations available year-round.

Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore campgrounds around Clatskanie or consider nearby Wahkiakum County Line Park for alternative Columbia River access. Book ahead during peak fishing seasons when competition for waterfront sites intensifies.

Many visitors appreciated the Columbia River location and fishing opportunities directly from campsites. However, numerous guests pointed out major noise issues from highway traffic and concerns about cramped spacing with limited privacy.

Terribly nice

The area is nice to the eye. No doubt.

Then reality begins. Its all sand. Everytime the wind blows, sand gets in everything not buttoned up. Tents, coolers, clothes, fishing reels etc.

Next all night long the " BRRRWAAAHHHH" of trucks start. Every 20 mins, all nite , 

" Brraahhhhh" of Jake breaks. 

Showers are on the nasty side. We ran into town bought 2 large comet cleansers and scouring pads. After about 40 mins we realized the existing "stuff" on the shower surface is permanent.

 Finally, at 5am the parade of cars, trucks, motorcycles begins. Fishermen all getting ready for the 40 spots available. 

Next time I will pay attention to reviews . 

They matter.

Good for fishing

When I think of camping, I think of wilderness, semi-privacyand a campfire. 

Pros:

-Right on the Columbia River

-Very small site and Inexpensive

-you can fish from your campsite

Cons:

-Right on a busy Highway

-Very crowded spaces and no privacy

-No fires

-No more tent camping

This was a decent campground if you are interested in staying still and not bothered by a cramped no privacy site
