Beautiful campground!! Lots to do! Google maps says you need to park and walk in…not true! Great trees to set up a hammock! No fancy bathrooms, electricity, or water! Camp host was super nice. Kids loved the creek and biking around.

Just wrapped up a 2 night stay here - first time camping in the PNW. It is beautiful! The sites were very well kept, everything clean and organized. Very friendly camp host. The toilets, although clean, were a bit rough by Saturday since they’re just chemical pit toilets. The only negative here is the proximity to the main highway - early mornings the road noise was pretty loud which kind of takes... Just wrapped up a 2 night stay here - first time camping in the PNW.

Really nice camp hosts. We needed to upgrade and they were more than helpful plus came around later to check in on our group and make sure things were working out. Toilets are composting but are in proper buildings around the paved drive loop and had lots of toilet paper (no showers). Potable well water from an original, old hand pump (it gets tested monthly they told us). Several very quality hi... Really nice camp hosts.

Potable well water from an original, old hand pump (it gets tested monthly they told us). Several very quality hikes near by plus the creek immediately on site which is lovely. Camp sites have sand boxed areas for your tent (to stay level, drained) and most have partially paved driveways for your car/small RV (no hookups).

Lovely campground. We stayed in site 15. It's one of the few sites that had room for two tents. Site 12 has no table be warned. Lots to do nearby. If you can't handle some iron in your water bring your own.

Great campground with fantastic camp hosts. Some of the sites are close to each other but ours felt super secluded and we were a quick walk down to the creek. This spot is close to a lot of great stuff - St Helens, lakes, mushroom foraging, lava caves to name a few. The only downside was our site was close to the bathroom and there were times where the smell was a bit to deal with
