    Centralia, Washington

    Coffee Creek is an intentional community & working farm on the north side of Centralia, Washington. While our 11 acres feels very secluded, we are just 3 miles from historic downtown and 10 minutes from the freeway & shopping. An accessible oasis!

    There is a park with swimming, fishing and hiking along the Skookumchuck river within a mile of the farm, in addition to the natural beauty found right here at home. We enjoy bird watching and exploring our forest when we aren't working on the farm.

    Seasonal Strawberries & Fresh Produce are our specialties, and farm fresh eggs are almost always available during your stay! We also have pastured meats to purchase & grill.

      Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

      The campground at Mowich Lake is the smallest of the four camping areas within the boundaries of Mount Rainier National Park. The road is unpaved after the first three miles and may be rough. Also, this is a walk-in campground only and fires are not allowed. With all that said, however, it just may be the most pristine and beautiful place to pitch a tent you’ll ever come across, with one of the most magnificent views of the mountain that you’ll find anywhere.

        Riffe Lake RV/Tent Camping

        They have several back-in spots, some with partial hookups and some with full hookups. Most of the spots are well-shaded from the trees. A specific area is designated for tents only, and some cabins can also be rented. It was a 5-minute walk downhill to reach the lake, which had a very long and nice boat ramp deep enough to accommodate just about any boat. Regarding cell service, I got 3 bars of LTE with my iPhone. Overall, it was a nice, quiet, shady place to visit, and I will definitely be back.

        Beautiful views but semi busy road

        Got here around sunset. Looks like some good camping spots to walk into. Beautiful view of Rainier. There was a little bit of traffic but nothing crazy. Would stay here again.

        Amazing Spot Outside of Rainier

        We found an awesome walk in spot a little bit earlier on on the forest road before these actual coordinates. While we didn't have the comfota of our car parked right next to us, we had spectacular views of Mt. Rainier, easy access down to the river, and a fire pit. Unreal spot about 10-15 drive to the entrance of the park. Paved road all the way.

        Amazing campground at the falls

        Spent one day and night at lower falls campground. The sites are all nice. There are miles of trails close by and the hike to middle and upper falls is great. I was surprised how many open sites the there were after arriving. Very quiet with the sound of the falls in the background. Just an awesome place will return again. No cell service. Bring your own water. Lots of chipmunks so tote up your food when done. About an hour and 20 minutes north of Carson. The last 5 miles of road to the campground is a mess so be aware . (Hwy 90)

        NOT SAFE!!!!

        Came for the night and dropped off the camp. Left to go pick up a pizza and came back to a guy parked in front of our camp and locks had been tampered with. The guy said he was there to help load things up. came through several days before to scope it out for the way back through. (Tuesday) each time there’s been other campers.

        Easy to find

        It was a pretty good stay, it was easy to find a spot. We just pulled over and set up a tent. A little buggy and it’s not a super special spot to camp but it was a nice stay.

        amazing campground!!!

        this is my #1 fave campground but mostly I'm leaving a review to address the guy's comment below: the NW forest pass isn't the correct pass for this area. you have to make a parking reservation online through recreation.gov, just search for " Lewis River Recreation Area Tickets" or "Lower Falls." just would hate to see someone not be able to enjoy this beautiful area because they read some guy's incorrect rant! :)

        McBride Lake NF-81 Dispersed

        Boy Scout Camp 2016

        We camped here during a Scouting trip back in 2016. It was big enough to accommodate a few trucks and cars, with a towable trailer with all the gear. There are plenty of flat grounds for several tents for a travel trailer. The Ape Caves is a small drive away.

        Per the state website, "On the southwest side of Mount St. Helens, Forest Road 81 provides an experience away from crowds. On this road, access Kalama Horse Camp, Red Rock Pass, and Forest Road 830, the road to Climber's Bivouac, and the start of the summer climbing route. From the west, the road begins on Forest Road 90, near Cougar, WA, and travels through private timberlands and state lands before entering Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The road connects with Forest Road 83 on its east side. While mostly paved, be prepared for several miles of gravel(between Forest Road 830 and 8123) and a road that is sometimes very rough."

        Awesome place!

        I came for my birthday and had a great time. Staff was so friendly and helpful, and the place was clean. They have a little store in case you forget something and firewood that’s way cheaper than buying elsewhere. People were fishing, paddle boarding and swimming. I would absolutely go stay there again!

        Amazing! Outstanding! Beautiful Hillside former equestrian farm where you can buy organic cage-free eggs laid the day before along with milk taken straight from the cow that morning! If you enjoy watching sheep eat and playing with a goat and watching Ducks wander around and lots of stuff to look at and hiking and learning about farming and animal husbandry, this place is for you!

The amenities are top-notch, with clean and comfortable accommodations, a beautiful pool, and plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals that cater to various tastes. It's an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure. I highly recommend Capmground for a memorable vacation experience.

        Staying a Kid Valley Playground

        I recently stayed at Kid Valley Campground and had a fantastic time. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves nature and adventure. The campground is ideally located for exploring the Mt. St. Helens area, with great hiking and biking trails nearby. 

        As an avid fisherman, I was thrilled with the easy access to the Toutle River and nearby lakes. The salmon and steelhead fishing were excellent, and I also enjoyed a short drive to Coldwater Lake for some great fly-fishing and Silver Lake for bass and trout. Winter activities are also a big draw here. There’s hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling in the nearby Toutle State Forest.

        One of the highlights for me was how family-friendly the campground is. It’s a perfect spot for kids to explore and play games like Toca Boca around the campsite. They offer special rates during hunting season, which is a nice bonus for hunters. Overall, Kid Valley Campground is a wonderful blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty near Mt. St. Helens.

        This camp ground is really tight for large RV. Este lugar está bien chico para caravana grandes solo hay pocos espacios para caravanas grandes en el loop A hay solo unos 4 espacios grandes igual que los otros loops el lugar está desnivelado es recomendable traer bloques de maderas este lugar no cuenta con luz drenaje pero si tiene baño limpio.

        Great Spot for Exploring Mount Saint Helens

        I gave this park a high rating primarily because of its location. It is a great place to launch your Mount Saint Helens exploration, with a Washington State Visitor Center you can walk to from the campground. We had hookups but our site was very close to the site next to us and we had no privacy there. If you don’t need hookups, I would recommend the loop that has 32 - 54. These were much more private and actually had better Wi-Fi than our location. Bathrooms are convenient and have free showers. There was better hot water at the bathroom on the loop with sites 32 - 54.

        Really hard to rate this place...

        stayed here in the middle of July. Plenty of spots open with a good store lots of bathrooms and showers places for kids to play and welcoming hosts. What bothered me was that a number of spots look like they’ve been set up as permanent housing. Instead of being a campsite, it looks like a small village from the movie WRONG TURN .. those areas felt just about as welcoming 👀

        Clean & Low-key

        Big Creek is perfect for everyone who is looking for a decent, no-frills campground. Located a short distance from Mt Rainier NP, this is the perfect springboard for any NP adventure or chillax getaway. We were fortunate to snag site #2, which has easy access to the creek and a decent small swim spot to cool off on a hot day. No bathrooms, just vault toilets - and it looks as if a couple are on deck to be replaced as of this writing.

        Solid

        Seaquest has something for everyone. My campsite was not close to the road , but I stayed when Johnston Ridge was closed, so maybe road noise would be a factor at other times.

        Some pluses here include: some private sites, lots of trees, bathroom / showers, playground, open areas, close to other points of interest. And for those who can’t live without it: WiFi.

        Although bathrooms were clean, I believe they could use an upgrade. Showers in particular.

        Cougar Rock Campground — Mount Rainier National Park

        Cougar Rock Campground

        Cougar Rock is a quiet campground. The ranger at the entrance was friendly. We were able to secure a reservation by waiting until the one- week out release date.

        Unfortunately, the forest health surrounding the campground is suffering. There are many standing dead and fallen trees in and around campsites - it seems as though the USFS is unable to keep up. The sites and roads in the campground are tight. We had to be cautious parking our 23 ft. van. There are several restrooms around the campground and convenient trash and recycling bins, but the dump station was closed, and there was no water available for filling RVs - just personal bottles.
