"Close to Randle and Mt. St. Helens"
"Had water a short walk away. Trees here are 600 years old. Huge. We use a solar panel to run out refrigerator. The trees were so thick we were on battery the whole time."
"Absolutely beautiful campground in Washington state nestled into the woods between Randall and Morton on the Cowlitz River. 4 loops to choose from. 2 with electric and water, 2 geared to tent or dry trailer"
"Very quiet campground with lots of walking trails and activities. Good place for families - the water is walking distance and seems to provide good fishing opportunities."
$25 - $40 / night
"This is a great place to stay, clean, creek access, tons of space for dogs to play in the field, nice little trail access from the field next to the campground."
"We stayed at site #10 it is a fantastic pull through site super close to the creek(if you want to be real close check out site #3). Super dog friendly and nice big sites."
$20 / night
"Lots of trails to hike, pet friendly, and the river is a sight to see. Beautiful."
"Great location, so close to the park entrance. An hour or so away from Paradise Inn and Sunrise Lodge. Hiked Silver Falls Trail which was right across from our campsite (E10)."
$22 - $115 / night
"I've been coming here since I was a little kid and it's still one of my favorite campgrounds (with leashed pets allowed)."

"We scored a walk-in tent site ($22.) on Monday in the middle of August without a reservation."
$25 - $45 / night
"I chose to stayed here because of its location. It’s close to the entrance into Rainier NP and there’s plenty of Amazing hikes nearby. I camped alone (I’m a female) and I felt safe."
"Located a short distance from Mt Rainier NP, this is the perfect springboard for any NP adventure or chillax getaway."
"You can walk to the river or leave the campground to walk on the road (which isn't very busy). It's close to Mt Rainier and plenty of national forest hikes and activities."
"It’s off the beaten path so no WiFi or cell service. Very quiet at night which we really appreciated."
ScoutStayed two nights in early July, campground was well maintained, vault toilets were clean. No showers, but water available. About 1/3 of campground was out of commission or closed as they took down hazard trees it appeared. Avoid sit #10 as next to the loo, otherwise nice site.
Mostly tent campers, sites are all good size and most spread out a bit. Campground is located and on the Cispus River so can hear the river from most spots. Of the group camps, the "Beaver" looks the nicest as on the river. Several relatively short trails, but scenic all the river and nice bridge, be sure to visit Layser Cave and Campground falls (nearby on FR23 just before campground when coming in from Randle.
RangerJust got back from a quick overnight trip up to Council Lake. Only 3 of the 7 sites were occupied including myself, which was nice except for the group running a generator to watch movies in their tent until after 11pm. I'm pretty easy going, but if you're going to stay in a campground with neighbors, show some respect. Not everyone is as understanding as I am.
The trout fishing is great here, but bring some mosquito repellent or you'll be sorry.
Bring wood with you if you plan on having campfires. There's some fallen trees down by the lake, but it's a hike to bring it back to camp.
The outhouse is rustic,to put it kindly, so be prepared.
I drove up from the Trout Lake area and the drive was clear with no snow on the road, I left Council Lake going north towards Randle, WA and the road was clear of snow, but the potholes are much worse, so take it slow.
From Randle,WA I drove back south via the FR 25, which is back open all the way from Northwoods to Randle. Great drive with spectacular views of Mount St. Helens and several small tributary roads with potential for dispersed camping.
GuideWe camped here for 4 days this summer. It was peaceful and quiet. The view from the camp site is simply stunning. The glassy smooth waters reflect Mt Adam's glacier like a mirror. The campsite we picked was large enough to accommodate our 22 ft trailer plus truck and a Jeep. The outhouse was cleaned daily but can get stinky at the end of the day. There is no official swimming area, but the shoreline has many great places to take a dip in the clear cold water. There was a few mosquitoes but not too bad. Best to go in late summer to avoid the mosquitoes. The road in from Randle is a bit rough at times for a car but doable.
TravelerWe camped for two nights. The lake is beautiful with a killer view of Mt. Adams and we were able to hike and SUP from camp. The mosquitoes were vicious but apparently much better than last week. They did not care about either of our two repellants. If you kept moving you were safe, but there was no relaxing in our chairs at camp. We camped in our 30 foot trailer. This campground can technically accommodate trailers of this size but it’s not a great idea to bring one in. We definitely got into some hairy spots. The road in from Randle is really rough for a rig. Ours is built to off road but if it wasn’t I’d be worried that the chassis wouldn’t make it. The other way towards Trout Lake was much easier getting out.
The place is hard to get to, but is very beautiful. The lake is warm and the views are so pretty. We spent much more time than planned getting in and out of the area so plan for that.
If you are a fishing person, it looked like everyone was doing really well out on the water, I saw multiple people with several fish.
GuideViews of Adams, Helens, Hood, Jefferson. Highest camp in Washington. Nice solar toilets. The hike up is quite difficult.
GuideThis is my new favorite spot to camp in Washington. The spaces are well distributed, the location right next to the river is beautiful and the site staff were extremely gracious. I’d strongly recommend picking a number between 2 and 10 as those are the closest sights to the river if you’re looking to enjoy the sounds of the water. There is also a full bathroom at around the mid 20s if you’d prefer a functional toilet system.
GuideThe Mayfield Lake is the main attraction. Be sure to visit the day use area across the road for lake access with swimming, picnic, and a dog park on the water.
Very good privacy for the standard campsite loop. Standard campsites are either pull through or back in.
There's a trail around the edge of the lake in campsite loop. Find the point, you wont be disappointed.
GuideI love Seaquest for their beautiful campsites and the proximity to a wonderful forest to bathe in. But don't go for the RV sites, which are laid out in a parking lot setting with no real distance from neighbors and not surrounded by trees. Unless that's your jam. It was definitely not ours, tent camping alongside some friends with a trailer who liked nothing more than to hang out at said trailer, and walk through the campground to look at other.. trailers. I don't think they even stepped foot in the 7+ miles of forest trails which is a few steps away. If you can step away from the hookups and get a real campsite off the RV pad, it is a stunning experience. Each site is surrounded by trees, creating privacy and serenity. Another great option is the yurts. We stayed in Yurt 2 (the only pet friendly yurt) and loved it.
For those with RV's, trailers, campers - look into the regular sites because I think some of them even have hookups and can accommodate most sizes. Just steer clear of RV sites T1-T16.
ScoutExcellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.
