Best Campgrounds near Beverly, WA

It's a beautiful place and we have stayed there several times, but hold on to your wallet!  If for some reason you have to cancel your reservation they will RIP YOU OFF with their unfair and completely exploitative cancellation policy.  In our case, we wanted to cancel and then planned to re-book later in the fall, which is also a great time to visit Eastern WA.  We called 7 weeks ahead to let them know we could not come when we had planned to.  They kept HALF of our fee ($237.50) even though there is ample time for them to re-book the site.  Yes, their paperwork does state their policy, but that doesn't make it FAIR.  Most other campgrounds charge a nominal fee and are OK with cancelling up to 48 hours ahead.  But 7 weeks ahead?  Give me a break.  This campground was funded with tax $$ too-Grant County PUD and now has contracted out the management to the Central Washington Management Group in Quincy.

I want to start by saying that I have low expectations for hygiene and cleanliness, especially in rustic forest service buildings. But this cabin failed to meet my extremely low bar with its out of control mouse situation (see photos).

First, much of the information currently available online is incomplete or inaccurate so here's some irl deets as of August 2025:

This cabin is smaller than it looks in the pictures. It's maybe 300-400 sq feet. 

There is a flush toilet and shower inside the cabin. Shower is small. The hot water is HOT. You have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom.

Lights: Don't rely on lighting being provided. As far as we could tell, the propane lights were disconnected? (There is also zero info on how to light them.) There were three LED mini lanterns, none of which had working batteries. 

Kitchen supplies:  Generally ok (the usual amount of beat up) but bring your own silverware. There were three metal spoons and a handful of plastic forks when we were there. WASH EVERYTHING BEFORE USE.

There is one bedroom with a reasonably comfortable double or queen bed. BYO bedding. The walls don't go all the way to the ceiling, so don't expect privacy.

There is a futon couch in the "living room" area. It is very beat up and extremely uncomfortable. Do not attempt to sleep on this if you value your ability to sleep or to have a functioning back. It's really, really bad. I am not exaggerating.

There is a small dining table with two chairs. There is one rocking chair.

The stove and frig (which included a freezer) worked great. 

The cabin is about 40' off of a road that is frequented by OHV enthusiasts. It has a very large parking area which is shared by the camp host for the two campgrounds down the road. He told me he is not the host for the cabin, however.

AFAIK, there was no host for the cabin and no one is regularly checking on it? There were candles (which aren't allowed) left by previous guests. 

There is a nice creek across the parking area and past the camp host site. 

The worst: MICE. And mouse poop. EVERYWHERE. 

I saw reports of mice in other reviews and wasn't too worried. Mice happen in the woods! I arrived with sanitizing wipes and snap traps. 

I would have had to work for days to clean that place up. There was mouse poop everywhere. Cabinets with pots and pans had mouse poop and torn up paper towels. Mouse poop on the counter. Mouse poop on the rocking chair. Mouse poop on the futon. 

At night, so many mouse noises. Among other areas they are living in the chimney/wood stove area. Good luck to whoever first tries to light a fire this fall! 

The worst area was under the sink. There was a hole leading to the wall space, which was packed with torn paper towels and mouse poop, pee, and some black stuff (mold?) Another hole led to an area under the cabinets, which also had a giant pile of shredded paper and mouse feces.

I killed three mice over the two nights we were there. They were definitely deer mice, aka the ones that carry hanta virus. We wore masks when sweeping. I felt bad for my friends who slept in there (I slept in my van outside.)

I expected mice, but I didn't expect there to be zero evidence of anyone trying to deal with them or ensure the basic safety of guests. It is crazy that they charge $125 /night for this and fail to do even the absolute minimum of caretaking.

If the mouse situation wasn't such a horror show, I would give this four stars. The cabin itself would be nice if anyone cared about it.
