The Best Camping Near Beaver, Washington

Great camp to camp distance and foliage cover.  Dense forest, river near by...  great DNR spot.  Need a discover pass but free past that.   Also had ranging 2 to 3 bars verizon.

Super awesome!!!

Nice variety of sites. 2 pit toilets. Beautiful trail along the river. And FREE with your discover pass!

Beautiful campground above the river

About 15 spots just off Hwy 101. Cute little walk down to the creek, but you definitely still here the road nearby. Free with the Discover Pass so make sure to grab one before arriving! Remember to clean up your trash please!!

An easy choice

Pros: convenient stop right off 101, fairly private and level sites. Camping neighbors were quiet at night. Free, but you need a Discover Pass.
Cons: Road noise, but did quiet at night. Copious amounts of toilet paper in the bushes. 



Was Fine for a One Night Stay

Great campground for tents, vans, and shorter trailers. There are about 3 sites that will accommodate trailers up to 32 feet. There are 2 pull through sites. My truck and 32 feet trailer fit nicely. Pick nick table and fire ring at each site. 2 vault toilets, but not very clean. You must have the Discover Pass to camp here, but no other fees are required at the campground. 

Great shaded Campground 

First come first serve. Nice little trail down to the river. Scary rollers bring TP

Lovely

We are here in a 30 foot 5th wheel with no problem. But only maybe 3 sites could accommodate this size.
