Leidl South Campground

Bigger than it looks at first. You can pretty much camp wherever you can drive to. Lots of spots right next to the river. In March the river was pretty swift and the edge sort of steep so we stayed near the boat ramp because we didn’t want our dogs to fall in. I’ve been there in late spring and summer and the river is not nearly as swift. Not very busy when we went. Fire circles made it pretty obvious where “sites” were located.

This is a really convenient place to camp if you're rafting the Klickitat. It's WA land, so all you need is a Discover Pass (although my friend didn't have one, and nobody came by to check). There's no other campground fee.

There aren't any designated spots campsites, but there are a number of fire rings and it's pretty easy to segregate yourself from other campers. The site was clean and the pit toilet wasn't too bad. The first weekend in June, there was only one other group camping there, so it was nice and quiet!

The location on the Klickitat is really pretty. The campground is right along the river facing a really impressive rock wall. You can sleep to the sound of the water :)

I also stayed here a year ago with a big group, and it worked out great for that.
