This campground is huge - 99 spots in total. It was completley full this weekend. There are 4 loops and we didn’t walk around all of them but they all look about equal in quality of sites. They’re all pretty spacious and private. Our site though was on a loop right off the Forest Road though so I’d book a river facing spot next time.

While the campground was 100% full, it was still very quiet and we felt totally alone. The scenery is beautiful, I think its all old growth forest and very dense. There is a short loop trail and a much longer river trail. We walked about 4 miles and didn’t even realize the distance. The scenery and beauty of the Cowlitz River was unlike anything I’d seen before and just stunning. There were tons of mushroom sightings and some of the biggest trees I’ve come across.

The bathrooms however are among the WORST we’ve seen. They’re basically just really dingy dark grimy porta-potties. But that’s really the only negative of this campground.

I will definitely be back here and plan to try C or D loop! It looked like those loops had potentially better bathrooms too..

Pros:

• Amazing old growth forest
• Large and private sites
• Incredible trails and mushroom foraging!

Cons:

• Seriously gross bathrooms in A loop
• Site on the Forest Road
