Seaquest State Park Campground houses several glamping accommodations across its forested property near Mount St. Helens, including comfortable yurts in a dedicated village area separate from standard campsites. The park's glamping options provide a convenient basecamp for Mount St. Helens exploration while offering climate-controlled interiors, proper beds, and greater comfort than traditional camping. Nearby, Toutle River RV Resort and Ike Kinswa State Park also feature yurt accommodations with modern amenities. These boutique camping experiences blend natural surroundings with creature comforts including electricity, heating, and furnished interiors. Most glamping sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and proximity to clean restroom facilities with showers. "We loved the yurt village, which is in its own area on the other side of the campground from the regular sites. Yurts were clean and gave easy access to the Mount St Helens area," one guest shared.
The glamping accommodations at these parks serve as ideal basecamps for exploring Mount St. Helens and the surrounding natural attractions. A pedestrian tunnel connects Seaquest directly to the Washington State Visitor Center, making it convenient for glampers to begin their volcano exploration. The parks offer miles of hiking trails ranging from easy wetland walks with mountain views to more challenging forest routes. Silver Lake provides opportunities for paddle boarding and other water activities directly adjacent to some of the glamping sites. Most parks maintain year-round operations, though specific glamping units may have seasonal availability. A visitor noted, "It was a great place to launch your Mount Saint Helens exploration, with a Washington State Visitor Center you can walk to from the campground." The luxury camping experience extends beyond accommodations to include spacious outdoor living areas, forest bathing opportunities, and exceptional stargazing from the parks' open fields.

Great spot
Clean bathrooms, free showers, beautiful sites, and very friendly hosts. I had spotty signal but internet was available for free. Well worth the cost.

Loudest "resort" rude management
Planes, trains and automobiles....oh did I mention nosy neighbors and rude office staff? Sharon and Erika are unapproachable and judgemental office slime. Skip this place. And the pictures LIE!
Jordan C.ScoutJantzen Beach RV Resort
Nice near city of Portland stop
This sounds like a pretty mixed experience at Jantzen Beach RV Resort. The three heated pools, playgrounds, fitness center, and river access definitely make it appealing for families and longer stays, and having full hookups with level paved sites is a real plus. I also like that the mature trees provide some shade and that the shoreline paths give campers a chance to enjoy the Columbia River without having to leave the property. At the same time, the constant traffic and airplane noise would probably be something I’d want to know about before booking. The low water pressure mentioned in the review is another practical concern, especially for RV travelers who expect reliable hookups. They closed the swimming pool a month early although it is 90f in Portland. The combination of permanent residents and overnight campers also seems like something that could give the park a different atmosphere depending on the site and time of year. The location near Target and the freeway sounds convenient, but Portland rush-hour traffic could definitely make getting around more difficult. Priced at$85–$100 per night, many long-time visitors believe the value has decreased and are opting to seek alternatives. Overall, Jantzen Beach RV Resort seems to offer plenty of amenities and a convenient location, but travelers looking for a peaceful, quiet campground may want to keep the noise and urban setting in mind before reserving. The comparison with Columbia River RV Park would also be helpful for anyone deciding between the two.

Toutle River RV Resort
Cross country travelers
Decent campground....Ideal location for visiting Mt St Helens....clean, safe, secure.....only issue is locating shower house etc...we ended up using the RV for our needs....full hookups...reasonably priced....easy late evening check in however they should do an upgrade to their campground maps they hand out with check in package...Super tiny print...difficult to read....Checked in after dark which was also challenging due to the tiny print on the map....All in all a decent campground

Skamokawa Vista Park
Quiet, clean
Nice stopover on the road.
Alex R.GuideMossyrock Park
I’m not sure how to feel
This park has so much potential. Sites are a decent size with OK spacing, no site has sewer and the line at the dump site gets pretty long on the weekends so plan accordingly. There’s is no true access point to the lake but many walking trails from other campers. No, designated swim area if you are into that sort of stuff. A place where this park shines is the park for kids, it’s well kept (as long as campers pick up after their kids). Bathrooms were a little messy but again, this is mostly due to campers….
This park is pretty big but easy to get around. We stayed at main campground B and it has a lot of sites that are mostly in shade. They have a lot of trees but none messed with backing up or trailer height issues. Overall I don’t think I would book here again unless I needed a last minute spot.
Guide to Toutle
Yurt camping in the Mount St. Helens area offers budget-friendly alternatives to hotels while maintaining comfort.

The region's camping season typically runs April through October, with some facilities maintaining year-round operations during milder winters.
What to do
Paddle boarding on Silver Lake: The calm waters provide excellent conditions for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. At Ike Kinswa State Park Campground, "There's a lovely beach up there to explore. And of course plenty of space for motor boats," according to Bonnie H.
Disc golf at nearby courses: Several campgrounds offer on-site courses for all skill levels. "The disc golf course is entertaining, but not super challenging. Located on barely 10 acres the designers have done a good job using every bit of the land here," notes Steve C. about Paradise Point State Park's 9-hole course.
Junior Ranger programs: Educational opportunities for children about the volcanic landscape. "At night the campground had a great Junior Ranger program with a very enthusiastic park ranger that kept the almost 50 people/kids entertained. She was great at engaging all the kids and teaching them about the park," shares Ashley B.
Forest hiking: Explore old-growth cedar forests with well-marked trails. At Lewis & Clark State Park Campground, "This is a lovely park with beautiful trails that wind through very large, old growth cedar forests," explains Theresa R. Some trails are suitable for beginners, while others challenge experienced hikers.
What campers like
Riverside camping spots: Sites next to water are consistently rated highest. "We were able to reserve a lakefront spot. We were able to beach our boat right in front of our spot," says Russ H. about Mayfield Lake Park.
Yurt villages: Dedicated areas for glamping create community atmosphere. Mary C. notes, "The yurt village was my favorite part about this campground. If you are camping with a large family this would be a perfect spot to try and rent all the spaces. You would essentially have your own bathroom, outdoor play area."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers are frequently praised. "Showers are free and very warm. The campground has numerous cabins for rent many with water views," shares Lisa K. about Ike Kinswa State Park Campground.
Seasonal fishing: Stocked ponds and rivers offer recreational fishing opportunities. At Thousand Trails Paradise RV Campground, "My grandson loves coming here with us the two ponds they stock with fish," according to John O.
What you should know
Highway and train noise: Several campgrounds are located near transportation routes. "Noisy! Was hard for us to get a good nights sleep in between a highway and train tracks," warns Hani S. about Toutle River RV Resort.
Mosquito preparation: Insects can be problematic in wooded areas. "Bring bug spray, they werent too bad, but I am prone to mosquito bites and got hit," advises Mary C.
Variable cell service: Coverage is inconsistent throughout the area. "I have Verizon and was able to call and text my husband and occasionally use messenger. I had one or two bars. Probably would have been better with a cell booster," Christina F. reports from Mossyrock Park.
