ScoutYou have to plan months ahead to get a pass to hike the mountain trails. Be advised that you're looking at a good 6-month wait for a pass, if not longer. But well worth it when you get a turn.
ScoutA nice break right outside of Portland. Good stop if you dont want to take any spots away from truckers in the many truck stops around the Portland area
TravelerVery nice for what it is. Beautiful views. Convenient store about 5 miles away. Quite except for kids playing but better than playing video games.
LegendEither there is no westbound exit or it's closed due to construction. Anyway, you have to go past the campsite, take the next exit and then double back. Great campsite! One of the first established by the US Forest Service in 1915! If a model t could do it, our Transit van could do it.
ScoutRifle is pretty nice the water is really clean there is fishing I stayed up there quite a few times if you have a bike it's pretty cool cuz there's lots of logging roads and off main road trails and things like that you can have a boat there in the water if it's high enough and you used to be able to have campfires I don't know if they let that go on anymore or not used to be able to stay in the campsites for 7 days at a time for free hang glider club there you can watch him come down off the mountain that's pretty cool actually hang glided there one time went on a tandem flight with one of the hang gliding clubs that go up there
LegendIn the Gifford Pinchot NF near Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Adams. Very quiet in spring/summer/fall. Deep in the forest away from any towns. Right along NF30 w very few passers by. Love this spot to get away from busier CGs, towns, etc
LegendLarge open parking lot with many skiing/hiking trails. You need a snow park permit in the winter months otherwise free USFS land. Paved area and gravel area. Usually empty except winter.
GuideGorgeous place to camp up to 14 days.
LegendWe found a large turnout with a fire pit a little past the marker on Ash Lake Road. The only permanent appearing RVs we saw were on private land before you get to National Forest land and there were no gunshots, shouting, or disturbance as other reviewers encountered. The road becomes gravel 1 and 1/2 lane moderate to steep grade for a short while, with some potholes. Could be problematic with heavy rain, ice, snow, if you are underpowered or pulling a large trailer. Our Ford Transit van made it just fine. Decent T-Mobile coverage.
