For the adults, Thunder Island Brewing is right there with delicious brews and sandwiches."
ScoutBusy campgrounds, but nice. Variety of sites from small and shaded to open and sunny. Both day use and river access from the camping area were lovely and the water was perfect to cool off after a hot day.
Hosts were helpful. Bathrooms and showers were clean.
GuideI decided to come back thinking I'd stay in the same spot as last time, but it was occupied. Thank goodness! Because I found THE most amazing spot!
GuideOnly stayed one night wit RV trailer. Nice park with sufficient site size. Many sites were reserved but empty which made it less busy. Falls were amazing. Road in from either side is rough so allow some extra time for the drive. Both Google Maps and Wave were 1.5hr off on estimated time for the drive (4 hrs from Tacoma). There is no electricity or dump station. The Upper loop has a hand-pump well for water. Multiple outhouses are around the sites.
ScoutHad a great time. Very peaceful. No mobile reception.
GuideWe visited again and it was completely full except for one spot where you have to hike in. Not a fan of not having our car right there but it's not so far it's unreachable and if you're really ambitious you can even easily get to the bathroom with a short hike. Other campers were courteous and we never heard anyone else while we were there. The site was super private by the river spacious and beautiful. All around a win for shell rock creek.
ScoutJust got home from 5 days in site 009. Our site was large and pretty level. Campground was once a single/double-wide trailer park for govt employees so the hook-ups are located in odd spots for RV. We used 20 ft. Of septic drain hoses. Water was cold and crystal clear. Virtually no cell service (one bar if you stood in just the right spot). Dog friendly. A couple of small hiking trails. Picnic table and grated firepit on site. Some of the sites had uphill or downhill entries. The tussok caterpillars were a huge nuisance, but we weren't bothered by a huge number of other bugs.
GuideStayed at the Woodward full hook up sites. Only a small number of them so felt spacious and secluded. Close to a busy train track and you can here some highway noise but overall we felt secluded and enjoyed. Hikes are a short drive from the RV park.
GuideThis orchard is shady and very relaxing, although near a small airport and highway. There are showers and flushing toilets. The only downside is it’s a bit dusty being an orchard, so no grass between the trees.
ScoutThis was a super cute and super easy to find spot right off the highway near Government Camp. We had a larger group, so we took the very first spot which had a large flat area and a fire circle, but there were more secluded spots further down the road. Lots of road noise in this specific spot with trucks air breaking, but otherwise very cute!
