Loved this little campground. Good trails nearby - Panther Creek Falls is just up the road, and about 30 minutes away from Beacon Rock. The campground is quiet and there is access to the creek. The pit toilets were very clean and stocked with TP the entire weekend. Would love to come back here!

Great campground that is close to Portland while still being off the beaten path. The best sites are those on the East side along the creek.
There aren’t many water pumps or bathrooms. The best water is by site 20. We found the water pump by the host was yellow-ish. Also, the bathrooms are vault and are pretty clean, but smelly.
We stayed in a double site and they’re quite spacious. The single site sizes are hit or miss. We loved our site and appreciate how private some of the sites were.

Great campground with HUGE sites. Hike the PCT from your campsite. Drive a few miles and you've got lots more hiking opportunities. There's water available from a pump--just be sure to ask for operating instructions.

Beautiful campground! Well kept, quiet, and friendly. The creek nearby is great for hanging out and playing in the water, but not so much if you plan on fishing. A short drive and decent hike away from the gorgeous Falls Creek Falls. What more could you ask!
