Twin Falls, near Skamania, Washington, is a fantastic spot for those who want to kick back and soak in nature without the fuss of extensive hiking. With spacious sites tucked away in the trees, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of the nearby waterfalls while still having room to spread out and relax.

This campground is all about simplicity and comfort. Each site typically comes with a picnic table and fire ring, making it easy to enjoy meals outdoors and gather around the fire at night. Visitors have noted that the sites are nicely spaced, allowing for a bit of privacy while still being close enough to enjoy the company of fellow campers. As one camper put it, “Sleeping near the falls was amazing, as it drowns out so much, especially at night.”

For those looking to explore, there are short hiking trails nearby that lead to stunning views of the falls and the river. While the campground doesn’t offer extensive hiking options, it’s perfect for a laid-back camping experience where you can just enjoy the scenery and maybe do a little fishing in the Lewis River.

Keep in mind that this is a walk-in campground, so be prepared for a bit of a trek to your site. But once you’re settled in, you’ll find it’s a peaceful retreat that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or a longer stay, Twin Falls offers a refreshing escape into the great outdoors.

Relaxing & spacious site for lazy campers

The campsites here were pretty spacious. With the road coming to a dead end, you simply find a place to park and carry your stuff to one of numerous sites (I think there were 8-10), with other spots where you could easily pitch a tent. The ground was soft, with the occasional root, and heavy tree coverage, with the only light sporadically shining through spots of the forest. Some brave chipmunks and squirrels to deal with, but nothing too difficult.

The waterfalls were beautiful, with a passing river that had a short hiking trail (< .5 miles) along it. We didn't do our research, but the site doesn't offer much in terms of hiking. It's perfect for people that want a relaxing camping trip, without the need to hike. Most of the spots had a table and fire pit, but some did not. It's essentially a car-camping site, so no need to pack super light. The campsite we stayed at was tucked away and with the white noise of the falls (they were that close), you couldn't even hear those in adjacent campsites. Sleeping near the falls was amazing, as it drowns out so much, especially at night.

There was a pit toilet near the dead-end/parking lot, but no water available other than from the river. No permits required, and camping was considered dispersed when we went, so no charges or reservations were necessary. Definitely recommended for those looking to get into nature to simply relax and enjoy their time outside.

SiteFurthest from the parking lot, and extremely close to the falls.

Fantastic spot

This is a small walk in only campground off forest rd 25. It's way up there. The campsites are nicely spaced and the whole campground can hear the majesty of the falls. I recommend!

Secluded legit camping

Way up in Gifford Pinchot forest there’s a backside entrance to twin falls that hasn’t been kept up by the state since the bridge washed out. You’ll have to find it via forest road maps. LOTS of hiking and fall scouting to be had here. Remote access may be limited to road closures or washout. It is possible to get a trailer down there but would likely require some scouting of the road first or have overland setup. Spots or right on the Lewis river.

Bumpy road in, No RV's, Walk in sites only. Nice river access.

I was at Twin Falls Campground for the day (fishing) in July 2019, and stayed here back in June 2018. It's another of the smaller campgrounds with only 5 walk in sites. I usually stay in smaller places or go dispersed style when possible.

It's a bumpy windy road down to the campground. I just drove through here (Aug 7th, 2019) and I wouldn't take a car down to the campground without high clearance. Didn't need 4WD to get around but the ruts are deep in certain spots. Please don't try to drag a trailer down.

The sites are FREE, which is alway nice, and 1st come 1st serve. The sites are limited in number, but each site is pretty large. The river access is great. The sound is a little loud when sleeping, if you're here when the river is really flowing.

Decent fly fishing in the bend of the Lewis River.

The falls itself is pretty. While not exactly twins, there are 2 waterfalls.

There is a clean vault toilet, but no running water.

Kinda awkward that when parking for day use of the river, you still have to walk through a couple sites to get to the water.

I've never camped at the base of a waterfall before, it was beyond awesome! And the best part like 95% of the places I go is that it's FREE! If I remember right, there were about 5 walk in sites. Small parking lot with 1 vault toilet. Each site has it's own picnic table and fire ring! Very peaceful! Some spots were more private than others. The site directly in front of the falls is more heavily trafficked due to the views. Everyone we encountered were very pleasant and seemed to help keep the place clean!
