This campground is a great base for exploring the Gifford Pinchot Forest and Trapper Creek Wilderness in WA. About 90 minutes from Portland, it's in an easy to get to location, and Trapper Creek has a great 15 mile loop trail that's included in the 60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Portland book. It's also great for some other non-maintained Mazama trails for the not-so-faint-at-heart hikers. 

The campground at Paradise Creek is well maintained, with decent sized sites including some double sites, and plenty of trees for hammocking. It feels like you're camping in the forest with all the growth around you.

Sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Bathrooms, water points, and trash and recycling facilities are basic, but clean.
