Gifford Pinchot National Forest holds this small drive-in campground along a chain of marshy lakes in Skamania, Washington. The last couple miles of road are rough enough to rule out standard cars, trailers, and RVs longer than 16 feet. Mosquitoes are a known presence near the water. Anglers and paddlers find the lakes accessible for fishing and kayaking, and pet-friendly camping spots near Gifford Pinchot National Forest make this area a reasonable base for campers traveling with dogs. Nearby, Takhlakh Lake Campground sits less than a mile south for those wanting a more developed alternative.
