We loved being by the river. Camp site #5 does not allow for much room to park, much less set up a tent. The Camp Host told us the next we that we could have camped on the paved driveway or even across the other side of the driveway. Seems like a strange way to arrange a campsite. Most other sites looked normal. We ended up camping right on the river which was amazing. Apparently we were not supposed to do that.
Otherwise, the othrr people were relaxed and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful area on the Nestucca. Helpful info? Site 7 I did not personally like, campfire pit on a 5 ft-ish cliffside without area to sit around. Camp host Jerry very nice and welcoming but unfortunately left and we had no toilet paper in either of the toilets, so make sure you byop.
I hope anyone that camps tries their best to "leave no trace ". So very much garbage at sites ☹️ PACK IT OUT please! I do not need your cardboard box garbage to start a campfire. It is so irritating to be in a majestic outdoor area and then the firepit with some strangers trash they left. It is not helpful.

Beautiful campground on the Nestucca River. Site 8 is large, can fit a couple tents. Nice pathway to River. Site 7 is connected very close. 2 vault toilets. Water.

Very busy and full. Campsites 4, 5, 6 although with direct river access share one driveway. Zero privacy. As other campsites kids used it for access to the river. Could have been cleaner. Host was friendly.
