Old campground taken over by nature
A nice site to view how mother nature makes quick work at taking back her spaces. Getting to the point a 4x4 is required and no RVs unless small.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Woodland, Washington range from riverfront RV parks with full hookups to primitive tent sites in forested state parks, with options along the Columbia River and into the surrounding forests. Columbia Riverfront RV Park provides direct river access with full hookups for RVs and tent sites, while Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground, approximately 15 miles southeast, features cabins, tent sites, and RV spaces around a small lake. The region includes several state parks with mixed-use campgrounds accommodating various camping styles from primitive tent sites to full-service RV hookups, with some offering yurts and cabins for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.
Many campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, though seasonal considerations affect amenities and accessibility. Paradise Point and Battle Ground Lake State Parks maintain services throughout the year, while others may reduce operations during winter months. A visitor commented, "Seaquest State Park has a small playground and picnic area. There's not much else to the park. Its proximity to Mount Saint Helens probably makes it popular." Road conditions generally remain passable for standard vehicles, with most established campgrounds accessible via paved roads. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with better coverage near Interstate 5 and diminishing signal strength in more remote forest areas. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holidays when campgrounds frequently reach capacity.
The Columbia River serves as a focal point for many camping experiences in the area, with several campgrounds offering river views or direct water access. Campers report high satisfaction with waterfront sites, particularly at Columbia Riverfront RV Park, which received perfect ratings from visitors. For those seeking more forested settings, campgrounds like Battle Ground Lake State Park provide a woodland experience with hiking trails and fishing opportunities. According to one review, "The lake is small but awesome. Bald eagles flying overhead." Noise levels vary significantly between locations, with Paradise Point State Park experiencing considerable highway noise due to its proximity to Interstate 5, while campgrounds further from major roads offer more peaceful surroundings. Most established campgrounds provide basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to toilets, with many also offering showers and electrical hookups.

riffe lake
Great lakeside dispersed camping
This is an open area near the lake with room for at least a dozen different campsites. On a Friday night, there was everything from trailers to tents. People were courteous and the noise from generators, dogs, music, etc didn’t go too late. I’d come back here. Port-a-potties here, but no water or trash service.

Pretty sites
Beautiful and quiet. Bathrooms were amazingly clean and sites were spacious and pretty well spread apart! Discover Pass or Discover Day Pass is required to stay there. Would recommend!

A Basic Overnight
I’m giving this spot 3 stars because I place a high value on privacy, seclusion, and feeling safe while camping. This site felt more like I was parked on the side of the road than at a true campsite.
I checked OnX Offroad and the surrounding private land boundaries, and from what I could tell, there weren’t many opportunities to find a more secluded dispersed campsite nearby. Between Seattle and Portland, dispersed camping options can be fairly limited, so this served its purpose for us.
We simply needed a place to spend the night before getting back on the highway the next morning, and it worked well for that. It saved us from paying for a campground in an area where free camping isn’t easy to find.
Since it’s located at a trailhead, there is at least something to do. The nearby waterfall is worth checking out and adds a nice touch to the stop.
I wouldn’t recommend this as a destination campsite, but if you’re looking for a basic overnight stop while passing through, it gets the job done.

Dispersed Camping above Panther Creek Falls
Great Spot for Star Gazing
This spot was great!
It was quite rocky so we couldn't stake our tent down but we got along just fine.
Another thing is that there is no tree coverage. We knew it was going to be hot so we set up a canopy to protect us but just something to think about.
Otherwise it was a great spot and we loved how many stars we could see at night.
We will definitely be back!

Not very good because my tank got ruined
Not very good because there's no cameras in my tank got cut in the back so I'm not very happy because they can't do nothing about it and I'm out a big price for 10 that I can't even use now

Quiet spot
Pulled in around 8:40pm and there was no one else here. Very few cars passing. I was worried about finding a place in the area last minute so it was perfect! Good cell service (3 bars) on AT&T.
Stacey S.ScoutReeder Beach RV Park & Country Store
Great location and helpful staff
They squeezed us in (which wasn't too hard because we have a super small aliner trailer) at short notice even though they were technically full. It was clean, stocked and gorgeous! It was great to have an overnight stay when my wife ran the half marathon.
