    Thank you to the girl(s) who turned in my phone to the front office.

    Cleanly kept bathrooms, plenty of space to search for Pokémon Go, kind staff, and friendly pricing. Special S/O to the girls that found my phone and turned it into the front office. You saved me $$$ and priceless memories. Much love for this campsite.

    Was a nice little park with the exception of it's proximity to the freeway, there was quite a bit of freeway noise. The weekend that we went it did rain quite a bit so the site and surrounding areas were pretty muddy.

    Trash at the campsite, my wife cleaned up.

    I can't say much for this place. I knew it was close to freeway so the noise from traffic was expected. What wasn't expected was the sad condition of this state park. We just came from a beautiful Oregon State park so I was excited to book this place for a full week. Had medical appts in Portland so why not camp in between. We got here and our site was so muddy that your boot would get pulled off stepping outside. I was unsure of safety. One site had garbage under their trailer was spilling out. Now mind you people have hard times and what a great way to camp out but when you start piling "Garbage/alcohol " bottles all over (not just a few) the campsite, someone (host) is not doing his/her job. There was broken dishes behind the tree at our site. We wanted to to exploring but didn't feel safe leaving our site. We left after one night.

    As all the reviews state, the noise from I5 is constant. If you can tune out the jake breaks, it's a nice park. The yurt was clean and comfortable, but bring a camping pad to put over the futon mattress if you have a bad back. Single occupancy bathrooms with hand soap were a pleasant surprise. River looked pretty calm, would be a nice place to kayak or canoe with the family.

    The staff here are decent but the park itself is a disaster. Every dumpster in the park has been over full for the the 3 days we have been here. The primitive outhouse is absolutely disgusting, but regular bathrooms are fine. There's a couple holes in the spot your supposed to put tent in. There is a burn ban in effect not but fire pit & picnic table were both clean. If you're not in decent physical shape, these primitive sites probably are not for you. Fairly steep trail with several roots. Great water pressure for showers. 2 tokens for 6 minutes to shower & tokens are 2 for $1 (have to get in token machine next to front office).

    Super nice, except the little beach is right under the highway bridge. Quite annoying. The river is excellent, and they have a path following it. The pathless kept up very nicely. It was quiet when we went, but there are not a lot of people out with this Corona virus stuff.

    Overall a nice camping spot, it has a river nearby that you can swim in and the bathrooms are fairly clean. The only downsides are the traffic noise since the freeway is nearby but it isn't bothersome for me. But there is a bridge that goes across the river which is quite loud.

    Was searching for last-minute campsite for a Memorial Day weekend camping trip and Paradise Point came up. The state park is pretty neat. It's right on the Lewis River, and there are some decent, easy trails accessible from the camp sites. Also, the park is conveniently located just 15 minutes outside of Vancouver. My girlfriend and I left our tent (which was safe and untouched) and went into Portland and spent a day there. Sites are clean and include a picnic table and a fire pit. There are decent showers that cost 50 cents for 3 minutes of warm water (WATCH OUT they can get scalding hot!). The restrooms are average for any public park. The only complaint about the park would be its proximity to interstate 5. Half of the sites are pretty close to the freeway and while not deafening loud, it is certainly not quiet like most other campsite. Try to get one of the higher numbered sites farther from the freeway. We stayed in site 71, which was on the far side of the park away from the freeway and it wasn't too loud. Also, keep in mind there are plenty of families with children (who can get pretty noisy) at this park.

    Upper portion of trail, wide trail covered in fall leaves.

    An October late afternoon was spent here wandering through Lewisville Regional Park, and by the end…read moreI felt like I'd stumbled into a slice of old‑school nature magic. The park's 2.8‑mile trail winds through a mix of dense forest and sunlit meadows along the East Fork Lewis River, giving you moments of peaceful reflection and wide-open breathing room. We decided to spend our time taking Halloween photos all over the park. While enjoying ourselves, it was great inspiration. There is something grounding about the tall Douglas firs and the hum of the river nearby. I found a quiet spot on one of the gravel paths, sat down for a bit, and just watched as the river ran. Apparently it's not just a walking park, either..there are places to picnic, horseshoe pits, and even a small boat launch if you want to get out on the water. There are lots of picnic tables and covered shelters too, perfect for a family gathering or a chill afternoon with friends. I heard on warm days, people swim here..though heads up, there are no lifeguards and the river currents can be strong. Parking is simple, though there's a daily fee (around $3 for a car). If you come here often, the annual pass is a pretty good deal. If you're craving a place to get away from the city, stretch your legs, or just be near water and trees, Lewisville Regional Park is the perffffect place. It's peaceful, historic (hello, WPA-era charm), and deeply rooted in nature. See my pictures for yourself hehe

    This park is fabulous. After a very frustrating entrance I figured there was no way the park…read morecould impress, but it won me over. We took the loop trail, about 3 miles around the park, into the forest and along the river. There are multiple large grassy areas, play areas, and courts. The pavilions are superb. They are fully equipped, including a water source and fire pit, and are spread out throughout the acreage. The trail was great as well. The paths are very wide and well maintained, a dog walkers paradise. I was also impressed with the amount of trash cans, no excuse for litter in this park. There was a very small thing that really impressed me, hadn't seen it before...a container near the waters edge to place used fishing line. Would love to see those more often! The ONLY negative experience we had was trying to get in. Neither of the parking pass machines were working well and consistently. It took us about 10 tries to get a ticket. After multiple swipes of the credit card and attempts with some bills, we finally got one. And it wasn't us, we had a long line behind us and multiple people out trying to get them to work. When we left the park we noticed the same traffic jam...they definitely need addressed! As frustrating as the parking machines were, the park made up for it. Fabulous place to spend an afternoon!
