much better option than naked falls

a neat spot, but there are many like it on this river. This is a weird area, there are many public an private spots along the washougal. some of the private spots like naked falls, have figured out how to make a ton of money via parking passes that offer nothing beyond parking on the side of road and using a public waterway. i suggest buy a annual discover pass and park in the discover pass parking areas clearly marked. find your nearest acceptable spot(you will not be alone).

Creekside, friendly! Free!

I've been here twice this summer. It's busy but peaceful. Bring an inner tube or lounger the creek is shallow and wide. Explore along the creek by taking one of the trails along the north side of the campground. Toilets only; water and wood (no g'tee) at host site.
