A great starting off place for good hiking- the trail starting at the campground to the lava butte is a real challenge! downed trees, slippery slopes- easy river crossing early in the year. At 27B I could barely see other campers and, this year, no loud generators or music.

This is my new favorite small campground within easy driving distance of Portland, Oregon. If you can, one of the sites along the Little White Salmon River, you’ll be very lucky. (My small extended family of 6 were lucky to have done so, and the two kids in our group loved splashing in the river.). The only downside was no potable water, but we were made aware of this and came prepared, so there was no issue. The campground host was very responsive, even though he splits his time between two campgrounds and it’s not always available on site.

Small spread out camp sites. Very little road noise. Bathrooms are clean and well loved.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- 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.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days 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.
