Nice campground, however several trees fell during our stay July 2025. We were a bit afraid of being crushed in our tents. Left early.

Friday, Sept 30, 2022 - I'm all alone in this campground. It's clean and has running water. It's in an open pine forest. It has vaulted toilets, but it's very clean probably since no one is here. It's also quiet and there are no bugs, unlike the state open field just south of here. $20 per night, or $10 for seniors. I'm at site 13 and was able to get Starlink to work on the picnic table. Very... Friday, Sept 30, 2022 - I'm all alone in this campground. It's clean and has running water. It's in an open pine forest.

I'm at site 13 and was able to get Starlink to work on the picnic table. Very surprised by that with all the trees around. Verizon is dead here, but AT&T seems to work a little, at least at my site.

Family of 7 tent camped here in 4/2025 for spring break. It was cold but sunny most of the trip. We were the only humans there. Camped in spot 6 along the river. GORGEOUS spot. Lots of trees, picnic table, fire pit, vault toilet nearby. River will be fun in the summer months and fishing when open season. No animal sitings. Nearby forest is black from previous fire. We hiked Lewis Butte as a family... Family of 7 tent camped here in 4/2025 for spring break. It was cold but sunny most of the trip. We were the only humans there. Camped in spot 6 along the river.

Only four stars because not sure what it's like in the summer when campsite is full.

On 7/6/24 my husband and I decided to take a spur of the moment trip to a campground I frequented as a child with my family. And it did NOT disappoint. We stayed at camp 4 and it was beautiful! Just as I remembered it. The river was right at our campsite and we enjoyed a dip, we saw a moose and plenty of deer and chipmunks. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. We took a drive to the top... On 7/6/24 my husband and I decided to take a spur of the moment trip to a campground I frequented as a child with my family. And it did NOT disappoint.

We will be frequenting more often from now on.

My family and I have been camping along the Chewuch river for up to 40 yrs. As the years went by and we all got older the family camping faded down due to bad health but I continue still to go there, even if I'm by myself. I camp there because it's quiet and very relaxing, away from crouded camp grounds full of annoying loud obnoxious people and city rules, and best of all it's free. 🤗
