Moss creek is SO CLOSE to ideal. There are perfect, not-too-rushing riverside spots at an elevation that doesn't get too cold at night. It just seems as if the campsite is suffering from slow, tortuous neglect. The water pumps near sites 8/9/10 have been out for a long time. OK, sure, you have to wlk for water, fine! At least the vault toilet is well maintained.
The vault toilet near sites 13/14 has been out since last year, but at least the water pumps work! And last year, they brought in porta potties, so site 14 - which is the best one - at least had servicable toilets.
But those portas haven't been services since SEPTEMBER 2020. They were shockingly, incredibly unsanitary. Whatever contamination closed the vault toilets, over there, these slowly overflowing portas are worse.
The camp host was nonexistent, of course.
It's a real shame, as these sites are family-friendly, picturesque and awesome otherwise.
I really hope someone puts a little care into Moss Creek, because it's a magic place that's worth the effort.

The hosts are VERY nice and as always the campground was quiet and lovely. I'm very glad we went before the fires ruined the air quality.

A great campground close to White Salmon and activities along HWY 14 and over to Hood River. The hosts were kind and helpful. It's great to be right next to a little creek (not deep enough for swimming but you can wade along the shore and the host even recommended it for a 5 minute float from one end of the campground to the end). Had 1-2 bars on AT&T service (although we did go in and out of service on the drive up to the site so helpful to download the map ahead of time). One of the river campsites is closed due to fallen trees and that restroom was actually a portapotty. On the recreation.gov site, sites 15 and 16 are flipped from how the campground is actually set up. Site 15 is next to site 17, (17 is the camp host). Sites 1-4 (approx) are very sunny, while other sites are more shaded (we were in site 15 and it was very shaded, although good since it was so hot). Bathrooms were very clean and it felt like a very safe place to be camping during the pandemic. Would return!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
