Peterson Prairie Campground

This is a really cool campground with many sites right next to the "creek".  The other sites are facing the woods.  Good sized campsites with plenty of room to spread out.  We booked a double site and we could have set up 6 tents!  This would be a great place to visit in the spring when the creek is flowing.  We visited in August and there was zero water flowing, but the kids enjoyed exploring the creek bed.

Campground is amongst a beautiful forest, lots of shade and whimsy. Campsites are spacious and though close the highway, the noise is hardly noticeable. Downside, the campsite had an unusual amount of thick dirt ground causing an immense about of dust. It was really unpleasant especially with our 4 year old who was kicking it all over the place. Camp host said it was exceptionally dusty due to the creek being dried out. Not really a downside, but be wary of deer crossing the campsites if you have little kids or dogs, they are comfortable with humans. We saw a doe and her fawns and they were beautiful.

This campground boarders both sides of the Lost Creek (Dried up most of the time).  The sites are fairly large, but very open with little to no privacy.  I was in spot 10 and the entire spot was open up to the road, which is not my favorite.  Many of the other sites were open due to no small trees/brush.  There was also a very fine dust in the entire spot that can drive certain people nuts, especially ones with small dogs who turn into little clouds of dust!  

There were a couple deer that roamed the campground and wondered in and out of campsites.  I had to shoo away 1 so he wouldn't stomp on my little dog while walking through my site.  It was cool seeing them up close though.  Also it was the start of a very good huckleberry season and the entire campground was full of huckleberry bushes.  I was able to gather several cups just from my camp spot alone.

While this isn't my favorite campsite, it was overall a good campground and if you are in the area I would recommend it.

Good sized spots with plenty of trees, picnic table, and metal fire rings with grill grates. Good feeling of privacy. Lots of wild huckleberries to pick when we visited in late July. Clean pit toilets. Drinking water available. Close to ice cave. Fishing at Goose Lake nearby.

This park has several double sites which gives lots of space. They also had a group site. The park was clean and typical but the creek was dryed up :(

Had a great (very cold) time at this campground! Went in May and it was very quiet here. Had the campground almost to ourselves. The spots were big and mostly spread out. It is close to hiking spots and the cute little town of Troutdale.

We reserved a multi-family (not group) site #14 for the weekend. There was ample parking for everyone. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked (hand sanitizer!). Site was large and clean with garbage can in the parking area, designated water spicket, mostly shaded during the day. Privacy was created by parking vehicles strategically. Deer came through our site regularly during the day. Nice breeze kept the temps down. Lots to do nearby. Our site was very dusty, but it's also been a dry summer.

Campground was nice bathrooms weren't super clean but man is the area gorgeous! Its fairly remote so no cell service which i count as a plus. The camp sutes are on a big loop and have a decent amount of privacy exceot for the larger group sites just due to the size of the sites ...all in all it was a great week the rates weren't bad and the host was friendly

Close to the incredible Guler Ice Caves. Simple campground in the national forest and not far from town. Excellent hiking nearby. Very private good-sized campsites, some close to a small creek. Campground has a few pit toilets, water provided, quite buggy (it’s the PNW, it’s always buggy). Our neighbors were serious mushroom hunters and they were kind enough to share a few---amazing and very memorable.
