Schafer State Park Campground
Schafer State Park Campground, near Elma, Washington, is a cozy spot for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors without too much fuss. The campground offers a mix of tent and RV sites, with some areas providing a decent amount of space for your setup, making it easy to get comfortable.
One of the highlights here is the proximity to the Satsop River, which is perfect for splashing around or casting a line, though the water can be a bit shallow for serious fishing. Visitors have enjoyed the nearby walking trails, with one reviewer mentioning a “figure eight hiking loop” that showcases some lovely terrain and vegetation.
While the facilities could use some TLC, including the bathrooms, many campers appreciate the laid-back vibe and the chance to gather with friends and family.
