    Left side of the falls area

    My family did not camp here, but I absolutely want to someday soon! It looks as if most of the sites are close to a rushing creek ! So gorgeous! . I brought my children here as a last minute decision but we'll worth it . It's only about 1.8 miles out and back . This is not a loop trail. It's a great trail for young ones and pets. Another family brought there two dogs and two goats ! The trail is lightly trafficked. The trails are visible but the pathway is very narrow deeper into the forest. On wet days it is very muddy and can be a bit slippery! Hiking boots would be a definite on this trail. Lots of birds and slugs and other insects along the path keeping it fun for kids ! We did a little scavenger hunt which made it super fun ! The water falls were small but very beautiful! To get the best effect you have to climb down to where it forms a triangle then you can see both falls at the same time and the vibe is magical! When your driving to the campground the paved road does turn into a gravel road . There are signs and the gravel was well kept. You'll pass the first camping section then come to a second section and there is a bit of parking . Your only on the gravel road for maybe 2 miles .

    We stayed and camped here for 4 nights total leading up to the 4th of July. The park was mostly…read moreempty when we were there and overall was not too noisy. Most of the noise were children playing around during the day but most got very quiet once dark. The park is nice and well kept, this is a newer section that I stayed at. They do have an older side that is a bit more rugged and off grid. The new side spots have power and water. They do provide a sewer dump station which is out off the street. The power hookups had both 30 and 50 amp and it had 2 normal 120 plugs which is what I used to run things. Most of the sites are decent size, not all of them are leveled though, the one I was in was a bit steep and the one next to me even steeper and they had a trailer they had to fight to level. Some of the sites are easy pull thrus but only a few. I noticed at least one ADA site that also has concrete around the pit for those with disabilities. They also had several first come first serve sites. The new side also has a brand new bathroom which is pretty nice and it has multiple bathrooms multiple showers available all newer and upgraded. I am missing those as I am in the grayland state park now where nothing is very new and there seems to always be a line to use one of 2 toilets in the loop. The park is along the river and you can get to it very easy with a couple of trails they have. There is also a trail you can enjoy that goes along the river between it and the campground that is very green. As for staying connected to the world at this park.... you cant unless you bring Starlink, I was able to get pretty decent speeds with my starlink but it can be a challenge depending which site you get and how many trees are in line of site. I was in 2 different sites during my stay and one was easier than the other. None of the cellular networks were working from what I was able to see, T-Mobile was a dud for sure with SOS the whole time, the park wifi allows you to load a page or two for checkin but nothing other than that if you can even get it to connect. Overall it was a pleasant stay and a campground I would possibly consider again in the future. Its a bit more remote for those who need to be connected.

    Clean restrooms and plenty of water faucets with camp ground areas. Park staff was courteous and…read morehelpful. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate but we enjoyed our four day visit. The adjoining stream was refreshing. Would recommend!

    Great location and beach (Therefore, 3 stars). The campground is showing it's age and lack of…read moremaintenance. Two showers were unavailable supposedly because of vandalism, but shouldn't they be fixed and open? The women's washroom had no soap for at least two days and the men's was running out of TP when we left. The shower could definitely use updating since you couldn't aim the shower head and the room should have been cleaned more often. The tent campsites across from us were tiny compared to other campgrounds. You have to park your car in the space allowed leaving not enough of room for a large tent, but most of the tent campers were couples with smaller tents. We rented the two yurts for 4 nights. The site for each yurt is quite large since it looked like the site formally was for 2 tent sites. They have a single outlet and a heater. The mattress pads were a joke and thankfully we brought a blow up mattress just in case. The yurt was much smaller than the cabins at other Washington State campgrounds so we had to organize kitchen utensils, etc. on the floor. The yurts have a bunkbed, twin on top and full lower. Our yurt had no ladder to get to the top, but our daughter's family's did have a ladder. (They didn't have blow up mattresses and I don't know how they managed to sleep. Our daughter did say she had bruises because the mattress sunk to the boards underneath.) Would we go back? Well, if it's just my wife and I, then we'd find a nice rental (and admittedly pay a lot more).

    No hook ups but it is all about the view. Sites are a parking lot of larger rvs or trailers but…read morethe view opens up the space. Most older couples with dogs in the fall. The weather is 70 today with beautiful sunset. Wish I could stay a week! Spots 2-20 are the best.
