    The camp hosts are so helpful brought the fire wood directly to camp for us, check in was a breeze…read moreour site was prepped and ready for our tent. Bathroom was clean and well maintained. My only gripe is the showers 15 seconds is way too short for the timer we barely got lathered up when the timer went off :( A very family friendly campsite.Tents only no RV's

    So today me and my families got kicked out from cougar campground over in cougar Washington. The…read morecamp host named Val and Robert Castro. They both blamed my kids for making a mess in the restroom. Just because a caucasian lady told them it was my kids. I know for a damn fact it wasn't my kids cuz I walk them there myself. So the lady yelled at my kids and i was doing dishes rite across from the restroom. Me and my husband over heard it and I tried to have a nice and respectful conversation but that didn't help. She said my kids was rude and disrespectful vandalizing the restroom. I told her maybe it was her kids that was doing it cuz they were in the restroom for hours. I guess she went and told her husband and her husband went and told the host yesterday. The host came and talk to us yesterday saying that if there is going to be anymore issues they were going to kick both of us out. But they had more issues with the restroom yesterday and they still blamed it on us. My girls were with me the whole time and we still got blamed. We were the only brown skin in that whole campgrounds. And the other lady that blamed on us went around telling ppl at all the campsites about it. When I took my girls to the restroom this morning they were looking at us and trying to whisper but they were loud saying I wonder if it was them referring to us. I told them it was not us it's them other ppl cuz I have my girls with me all the time. So rite now I feel like I was discriminated and violated with our rights. Cuz the camp host only kick us out and not the other family just because they were caucasian and they were the one that causes the issues. To all my Facebook friends and families please help share this so everyone knows that this place have racist ppl working there.

    This place is great! It was the perfect jumping off point for our Mt Saint Helens climb. The staff…read morewas super friendly, the food is great, and rooms are cute and comfortable. The pool is super clean which is hard to achieve with an outdoor pool. They clearly put a lot of work into updates and maintenance.

    The facility does a great job of making things fun and engaging for tourists. Before you even enter…read moreyou are greeted by a Bigfoot that will read you your fortune for a dollar which is pretty cute. Their gift shop is stocked well with items that folks might actually need while going into ape caves or summiting Mt st Helen's. The restaurant portion here has one of the juiciest most flavorful burgers I've had- no joke. It came with shoe string fries that had seasoning (I believe it was rosemary). I also had the huckleberry lemonade and a hot coco and both were excellent. The staff were all very kind, welcoming, quick, and helpful. They even helped us find the weather report for Mt. St. Helens summit the next day and gave us some tips for having a successful hike. We stayed one night in a two twin room. The room was well decorated and clean as well as the beds being decently comfortable. Unfortunately the restroom had some things get missed during the clean. There were baby spiders all over the ceiling and climbing down the walls, it smelled strongly of urine, and there were globs of hair on the floor and in the shower- we had to use a hand towel to tidy up the floor and kill as many of the spiders as we could. This wasn't my first time staying here, so I know the bathroom being like that is not the norm- must have just been missed by accident. If I need to stay in Cougar in the future I would definitely still stay here again.

    Check in was super easy and the staff was nice. Campsite was clean and picnic table and fire pit…read morewere in good condition. The prices in there store were comparable to those in our town (with exception of the ice cream). They definitely don't price gouge unlike most campground stores. Store also had useful items, not just novelty junk, which was a huge plus. Bags of ice and firewood costs were extremely reasonable. Had ice cold pop and sunburn cream, both which turned out to be necessities. Campsite was clean and so were the Portapotties and bathrooms. It was also quiet at night which was a huge plus. Staff was around if you have questions or concerns. Also felt safe staying there, which is again a huge plus. Don't get the Riffe Lake campground confused with the MossyRock park run by Tacoma power. This place (Riffe Lake campground) is much more family friendly and quiet. There is not boat access and it is a steep walk down to the water, just be aware. They do rent boats and kayaks if you didn't bring your own. Very short drive to Stofford pond for fishing. Had multiple black tail deer sightings, several just walking carefree through the campground. Was an amazing sight to see. Also was a great place to see eagles. We had lots of close sightings of eagles right over our campsite, which was super cool. Plus for our trip there were no mosquitos (July 2021). Plan to stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone camping in the area. Not a tourist trap, it is a nice honest family owned/ran facility, clearly!

    Lovely, quite campground. Hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. Would've been a 5/5 if not for…read morethe having to pay for a shower. Took awhile for water to actually warm, 6min goes by fast.
