Beautiful campground

Beautiful campground under old growth timber. Best tasting water from two old style hand pumps. Great place to take your family. Paved , so it is not dusty at all.

peaceful and well-kept

beautiful campground, regular bathroom (vault) maintenance, big lots, great tables. only drawback is the access points to the river are in camp stalls so you have to walk through someone’s site to get to the river. worth it though

Not my favorite campground, but not horrible

This is not my favorite campground, but probably due to the spot I was in and the distance I had to travel to get there. If coming from the Vancouver/Portland area it takes at least 3 hrs to get to the campground, which on a Friday after work means getting in late/dark. The spot I was in was close to the river and close/open to 7 other camp spots. This means that there were little to no trees blocking you from your neighbor. I believe my table was maybe 15 ft from my neighbors table. Everyone was very quiet and respectful expect for the huge "frat" party happening on the end spot which we all got to be apart of not by choice. Spot 24 was large enough for a few tents, and close to the restrooms but not too close. I would recommend the spots furthest from the river or on the 'bend' of the campground. There were 2 huge group spots with spot 11 looking like the best spot. I would definitely recommend for a large group. The hosts were present and kept the bathrooms fairly clean. The trails around the campground are mainly for off-road vehicles, but I was able to hike up the mountain with Mt. Saint Helens peeking from the clouds and no off-road vehicles around.
