If you live in PDX and want to get away from the city for a second, I highly recommend this campground. It’s a regional park not a state park so no dogs or alcohol allowed. You have to make a reservation online (which charges you the extra $8🙄). We reserved campsite 71 which is right in front of the trail to go down to the river. It got very cold at night so be prepared. Also, no cell service so download movies on Netflix or bring games lol. I will be coming back, loved it.

My girlfriend and I had to stay here for a night because we were camping in our car, but that night was going to snow and we didn’t want to freeze inside the car. LOGE is such a cool concept. Our room had a built in hammock which awesome. It had a S’mores kit (which you have to pay extra for)A Yeti cooler. A boot/sock warmer. Trails. A super cute bar/café that had an outside seating area with a fire pit. A pool that was closed. They sell LOGE merch. Ended up staying an extra night because we loved it so much. Would recommend, and would come back.

This campground is so dang beautiful. It’s right next to the Smith River! Don’t be like us and discover the river as you’re about to leave. The bathrooms and showers were open (Nov 2020). We got there at night and it was so hard to find an open spot because it was SO DARK! So maybe plan ahead and pick a spot before it’s dark or get there during the day. Also, CASH ONLY. And the shower uses quarters.

BUT I LOVED IT! I don’t know why I thought I wouldn’t like this campground, but it proved me wrong. Picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms were super close. It’s a huge campground so it took us a minute to pick a spot because there were so many. Would recommend and would come back.

If you want to be close to the beach, this a great campground. Super easy to find. 20 mins from the closest Fred Meyer (grocery store). Would recommend and will come back.
