    Nestled in the forested foothills of Washington’s Cascade Mountains, Battle Ground Lake State Park is an easy escape from the local urban jungles. Located just 20 miles northeast of Vancouver, WA, and 30 miles northeast of Portland, OR, this small recreation area sits in quiet, evergreen woods, in the city named for an 1855 incident between the local Klickitat peoples and U.S. Army soldiers from nearby Fort Vancouver. The lake itself, in the center of the park, is actually in a volcanic crater, formed when a magma-induced steam explosion blasted a large hole in the ground, which subsequently filled with water. Visitors to Battle Ground Lake will find plenty of camping and outdoor opportunities in the park, with even more to discover in the surrounding area. There are numerous ways to stay and play at Battle Ground Lake. The main campground offers 35 sites with picnic tables and fire pits; a few have partial hookups for RVs. There are showers and picnic facilities nearby. The park also has 15 hike-in campsites offering more rustic camping opportunities. For groups, there is a large area with four Adirondack shelters and a covered cooking area, and for equestrian campers, there’s a group area that provides corrals, picnic tables and a vault toilet. Inside the main campground, there are also four rustic cabins to rent, each with covered porches, outdoor grills, picnic tables and electric lights and heat; BYO bed linens. Seasonal campsite rates range from $12–$45; cabin rates range from $45–$79 While you may be inclined to just kick back and nap by the lakeshore, there’s plenty to do in the park and the surrounding area, including several miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails and a self-guided nature trail. Cool off with a dip in the lake, go for a paddle, or cast a line for rainbow trout and small-mouth bass. Just 20 miles west of the park, you can visit Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge and enjoy some of its exceptional bird watching. Or, drive one hour north for an exciting underground journey into the Ape Caves, a 2.5-mile long lava tube on the southern flank of Mount St. Helens. The lower portion of the tube is easy and family-friendly; the upper portion is a strenuous endeavor for the truly adventurous. Wear sturdy shoes, a jacket, and bring your own flashlight, as this volcanic subway is as wild as it gets.

    Great Location!!

    I really wanted to give 5 stars, but they have far too many permanent residents, which makes the campground look un-kept. The grounds were ok, bathrooms were clean, price was fair, large spaces , and very good customer service.

    Decent Camping Location

    This is a decent camp spot within an hour and a half of Portland metro. It has limited services, potable water, garbage and pit toilets. The water was nice, plenty deep for paddling or wading. It is pretty small, so not too many sites.

    There was a Camp Host present thankfully and daily Sheriff drive by during the weekend. This was welcome due to a few obnoxious party groups. One in particular turned the forest into a rave with lights that flashed into tents, which was irritating. I think the Sheriff spoke to them because they headed out the next day. We had a nice weekend but I probably wouldn’t stay much longer than that in the future.

    Awesome spot, book early if able

    I recently had the pleasure of staying here and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This campground offers a fantastic range of amenities that made our stay both comfortable and enjoyable. The showers were clean and well-maintained, providing a refreshing end to our days of exploration. The WiFi was reliable, which was perfect for staying connected and planning our next adventures.

    The game room was very nice and the pool was a great way to cool off and relax. What truly sets this KOA apart, though, is its friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay.

    One thing to note is that a train runs through the area. It can be quite loud, especially at first, but we found that we quickly got used to it and it didn’t detract from our overall experience.

    Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. The campground is nestled close to the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge, making it an ideal base for exploring this stunning area. The convenience of being so close to such natural beauty added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.

    If you’re looking for a place that combines great facilities with a prime location and a warm, friendly vibe, this is the perfect choice.

    Inaccessible and Disappointing Experience at Lost Lake, Oregon

    I had high hopes for my visit to Lost Lake, Oregon, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major letdown. Despite its reputation, this location is far from being accessible for handicapped visitors. The handicapped parking is inconveniently located nowhere near an ADA-accessible lakeside spot. We were forced to camp in the parking lot near a bathroom, which was hardly the experience we were hoping for. 

    The only positive aspect of our trip was the stunning view of the lake and Mt. Hood, but even that couldn't make up for the numerous shortcomings. The drive and entry cost were simply not worth it, especially considering that most day-use sites are first-come, first-served. By the time we arrived, all the sites that were accessible for someone with disabilities were occupied by individuals who clearly did not require the access. 

    To make matters worse, the overall organization and management of the site were severely lacking. There was no effort to ensure that handicapped visitors had fair access to the lakeside areas. It felt incredibly unfair and frustrating to see those who didn't need the accessible spots taking them up, leaving us with no options. In summary, if you or someone in your party requires accessible facilities, I strongly advise you to avoid Lost Lake, Oregon. The beautiful scenery cannot compensate for the lack of accessibility and consideration for handicapped visitors. This was a thoroughly disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend to anyone in need of accessible amenities.

    Fantastic campground and area

    On our way to Alaska for the SF Bay Area we stopped at several different camping locations along lakes and mountains. The only one we went out of our way to stay at when coming back was Lost Lake Campground. The sites are plenty big, have tables and fire pits. The entire area is amply wooded to provide privacy and the sense of seclusion. The bathrooms were clean and always had TP. There is running water spigots dispersed  throughout the camping areas. If I'm ever in the area it will be the 1st place I go.

    Clean, Relaxing and a little bit windy

    Camped at site 5 with an E-Pro 19FD.  Sites are back in and have well maintained level sites of crushed gravel.  The first time I haven't had to level the trailer side to side. Water and Electrical hookups well maintained.  Site is all gravel.

    Walking to the Columbia River and viewing the petroglyphs is an enjoyable stroll.  Restrooms and Showers are well maintained and clean.

    Watch out for the incredible amount of goose poop.  There was an area roped off so as not to disturb a nesting Eagle that could be viewed with the naked eye.

    If your a fan of trains you are right next to the BNSF tracks.  

    Best Park Hosts that I have ever meet.  Very knowledgeable on local sites and and things to do/visit.  They are constantly busy keeping the park in order.

    Tiny RVs only!

    We put the size of our RV in the state website and it gave us site 50. We arrived and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get our rig in that site due to the trees. We couldn't even continue out the secondary loop because it was so narrow and had trees on the inside of turns. Not to mention cars sticking out into the roads. The site map is not accurate at all! Luckily the sites before 50 were unoccupied so I was able to back into those and turn around and go out back to the main loop. What a disappointment. NOWHERE on the parks website has a maximum RV length. What a disaster to bring the whole family out only have to turn around and go back home. Oh, and also the water access was completely closed off.

    The Ultimate Mt Hood Base Camp

    Not my normal camping scene, but decided to for an early summer ski session with the kids, we didn't want to completely rough it, but also didn't want to pay hotel prices. So, one of the standard cabins here was the perfect compromise. Roof over our heads, actual beds, room for three of us to be able to gear up for the day. But still had a fire pit outside, and picnic table for outdoor cooking. (Also the standard cabins don't have bathrooms, so you still need to go to the shared restrooms.)

    The property overall was really nice, lots of amenities. We also took a walk through the RV/Tent camp sites. Its very similar to a KOA style of resort. We enjoyed it for what it was.

    That noise. It's not the river.  It's I-5 which is right in your back yard.   And it goes on all night long. "Besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"  It was fine.

    Summer Camp

    It can be super crowded, but this place is a gem. It reminds me of summer camp. There’s a store, rental boats, etc. The pit toilets and lack of running water keep things in perspective. I wish they would cap the number of day users though. Once they all leave, it is really peaceful at night.

    Cedar Springs Alpacas

    Sleep in a treehouse!

    If you are looking for a different kind of adventure, the treehouse at Cedar Springs Alpacas fits the bill! Built in 1997, it stands 60 feet above the ground in a majestic maple tree. There are 21 steps to reach the treehouse which has many windows and a narrow deck that wraps around the house. There is a sink, small fridge, microwave, and electricity, 

    There is an “emergency” porta potty on the deck. A short walk away is a flush toilet, sink, and shower. Towels are provided. 

    Sandi and Arnie are very welcoming, and Sandi has included many extras including snacks and movies. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, microwave popcorn, etc. are included. There is a full-size bed, but the topper was a bit soft (we are used to a firm mattress). After we mentioned this to Sandi, she told us she got a new bed! 

    Of course, there are alpacas on site but we did a very long hike in the Mount Hood Forest during our stay and returned after dark so sadly we did not have a chance to interact with the alpacas.

    The rate is more for the first night and almost 50% less for subsequent nights. The only thing keeping this from a five-star review was the stink bugs; we “relocated” dozens of them during our stay. Sandi was apologetic but really there was not much that could have been done especially since they are attracted to maple trees. Since it was warm during our stay, they were likely worse! 

    This was a fun and different adventure for us and a nice break from traditional camping.

    Fantastic … but the WiFi

    This is one of our favorite spots but if you’re needing WiFi or even reception, it’s terrible. Personally I like to disconnect but I was trying to “work from home” for a day and it didn’t work well. Close for fishing, hiking, hunting - and this time of year is mostly hunters. Which works out well because it’s extremely quiet, as most people are in bed early.

    Sweet little campground. Mostly close together, family oriented sites. Early September there was still plenty of water in the reservoir and they were still renting kayaks and boats, which was appreciated given the glorious weather. Moderate Verizon cell signal. Enough to text and receive and send email. Laid-back and friendly place.

    Clear Lake Campground

    Totally awesome spot, hosts could be more resz

    Nestled among tall trees, almost on the lakefront - this campground location is ideal! The lake water was very clear and several families were paddle boarding. Unfortunately we didn't think to check the air quality before we left - it was pretty bad due to forest fires. The vault toilets were clean enough, but they ran out of toilet paper. I was glad I brought some. The rest of the campground was very clean! I would have appreciated the hosts enforcing the no-fire rule that is in effect right now, since fire danger is extremely high. There were signs posted all over but we saw several campfires at night.

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Beautiful campground

    We have stayed at Lost Lake a couple of times now, once in a tent and once in a yurt. The lake is fun for fishing and renting a little boat or canoe to get onto the water. The store has a little of everything, though as you would expect, a little pricey.

    Nice spot that wasn’t too crowded

    We loved our stay here. We had in my opinion one of the best spots in the campground and the 3 spots around us were completely empty. Easy drive to hikes nearby and the camp store was a good spot to pick up things we forgot. My only complaint was that the bathrooms didn’t have any lights so even during the day you had to use a flashlight to see inside of them. The bathrooms were clean though and I saw someone cleaning them during our stay. Making a reservation was easy on their website and it was nice that they have photos of each of the spots. We will definitely camp here again

    Walk-in tent camping

    The campsites were all beautiful and hard to choose which one I wanted to camp in. I chose to select from the walk-in sites and the one I chose was not too far away from my car or the showers it was quiet and peaceful and staff was very friendly I will definitely come back.

    Great Place to Start Mt. Hood Adventures

    First off there are some parking lot style loops at this location but there are also a ton of excellent tree'd spots as well. We have stayed twice already this summer and have one more trip booked. Our kids love cruising the loops on their bikes and stopping in at the playground. We have enjoyed quiet comfortable stays even with the park mostly full The store is stocked well and priced fairly. The grounds are well kept and this summer the pool area is undergoing a major remodel, a bummer but not a huge loss for us.
