Best Campgrounds near Lyle, WA

Fairly quiet even on a holiday weekend. There aren't a ton of sites, and i didn't see anybody in the tent only areas. Minimal day use traffic. Clean toilets. Water available. Just not a ton of privacy between sites. Our site 007 would actually make a good double site with the one next to it (I think 008) even though on the map site 7 seems off on it's own. There is a little walking trail that goes past the creek and was perfect since my dog was injured and we couldn't do much more than that (but there are other trails nearby). Seems ADA friendly. 

The info says to buy firewood from the host, but we never saw a host.

Just a brief stop overnight en route to the Oregon Coast. Pulled in around 10:30pm, had a little difficulty finding the park entrance and had to turn around about 1/2 mile down the wrong road, but smooth sailing after. Read signs posted carefully, as there is another RV park close by. Pull through sites posed no challenge in the dark.

We didn’t hear the trains once we went to sleep, certainly not loud enough to disturb our rest. Our youngest slept in until 9:30!!

Grassy areas were nice and green, our daughter was thrilled in the morning to find a volleyball net just a few feet from our door. Our oldest walked down to the river, said it was a rocky beach with no sand and too windy to try to fish, but easy access to the river itself. We stopped at a nice fruit stand in the morning before hopping back on the freeway.

Park was clean. No complaints from us, we’d stop here again.

We stopped for a picnic lunch as we were passing through with our camper, but we didn’t stay over night.

When we drove through the camp loop, the sites looked a little on the small side, but clean and with good tree coverage for shade and wind break. We have a 36’ bumper pull, and hubby said he wouldn’t have had problems parking there.

The first day use area had a little play structure, the river access day use area was large enough for a handful of vehicles and our combined 58’ of truck and camper. There were multiple picnic tables along the path to the river, and along the water access itself and the bathroom in this area was clean, according to our teenager. We enjoyed watching the wind surfers, and wading in the river as we ate our lunch and allowed the kids to exert some energy.

We’re keeping this park in mind for our next trip through the corridor!

Absolutely loved the spot. There were about three sites. I believe from what I saw. I stayed at the first site when you first get there back there on the right hand side. It's a short hike down to the creek. It looks like there might be two walk-in campsites as well and I believe there might be one if you walk across the Creek. It's very close to trapper Creek trailhead and there is a vault toilet there. Minimal bugs didn't get any bug bites and it was in the '90s while I was there. Very little traffic. Not far from the highway just in case of emergencies. Absolutely no cell service. You must have a Northwest Forest pass or America the beautiful pass. Forest service does drive through there frequently to check

So I want to start out by saying this campground was not bad but I had the impression from the pictures I saw beforehand that the campsites were pretty well spaced out, not the case. At all. They are practically connected, only a few trees between each site. We don’t go camping to socialize, we go camping to get away from everyone and enjoy nature, that’s really hard to do when people are set up barely 30 feet from you. I want to hear birds and the trees and other nature sounds not other people’s conversations, music, cars etc. so having booked this site months in advance I was upset with the situation and lack of privacy we ended up leaving. We did go down the trail to the lower falls which were very beautiful and maybe this kind of campground with the sites all crammed together is other people’s idea of camping but not ours. I would like to add the campground host was very nice and also helpful.
