Cozy Campground on the Sound

There are two sites here with hookups. No dump station on the grounds. Site 8 is a pull through and is very large, but not so private as everyone walking to the main dock walks right past your site. Site 10 is a back in site but is very secluded with brush all around the site. Both sites have an obstructed view of the water through the trees with site 8 having a slightly better view. There are some great walking trails through the woods you can take if you need to collect yourself. There is a hidden field (which is actually the drain field for the septic system) in the woods that we found useful for running the dog. We wish we had kayaks with us. The nearby Olympic Bakery is very nice. Driving around the island was frustrating because you can't really get to the water anywhere other than at the other state park. The drive to Jarrel cove is on a very rural road with several places where the road is almost one lane wide. Tent sites are really cute here and if you want to haul your stuff a few hundred feet you can choose sites very near the water, or deep in the woods.

Beautiful small lake with a nice private campground

Hiking around the lake is a great way to start and/or end you day while staying at Battle Ground Lake SP. Horses are welcome. There are cabins available also. Several sites overlook the lake.

Fishing and swimming are common here, but the lake often closes to swimming later summer season due to bacteria etc. in the water.

Relaxing camping on the lake

Many of these sites back up directly on the lake. You'll love the sound of the water lapping on the rocks as you sleep here. Lots of hiking trails and plenty to do in the nearby towns.

Convenient Freeway access, short hikes, 9 hole disc golf course

This is a great campground if you are looking for a place that has easy off/on from the freeway. Located just a few miles north of Ridgefield's amphitheater it might be handy for someone coming to a concert or just needing a place to set up camp on their way somewhere. This isn't really a destination campground as much as it is a passthrough. That said, there are some hike in spots that are fairly easy to get to that might be fun for the kids.

The disc golf course is entertaining, but not super challenging. Located on barely 10 acres the designers have done a good job using every bit of theland here. If you are wondering why each basket is set in an above ground block of concrete, it was to avoid doing archeological and wildlife surveys that would have been necessary if the development had included digging up the soil. Hole one is a fun one that plays under a freeway overpass.

Somewhat Primitive Campground with an Epic Hike

Have you ever wanted to climb a piece of history. Beacon rock is believed to be the core of a volcano that blew off and landed near the columbia river. The two mile hike takes you back and forth up the rock until you reach the summit at over 600 feet. The view from the top is breathtaking and the hike is open year around.

Beatiful Wooded Campsites with Epic Disc Golf Course

Milo McIver may be best known for it's twin 18 hole disc golf courses, or single 27 hole layout when tournaments aren't in progress. Home of the annual Beaver State Fling, a PDGA sanctioned National Tour event, Milo McIver is an excellent host for the international players that come to the Pacific Northwest for a chance to win the tournament.

The small campground area provides the essentials with enough privacy and numerous group sites for those wishing to camp with friends. Two boat launches allow access to the Clackamas river for fishing, floating or just getting out on the water.
