Very nice campground. Our site was clean, up against the creek, with lots of privacy and old-growth trees. Only downside was during the summer afternoons, there were lots and lots of little gnats. Drove my kids crazy.

Pretty good location for visiting Mt St Helen and/or the Columbia River Gorge. Pretty and well shaded with some FCFS sites available.

Paradise Creek is an awesome spot. We hiked to Falls Creek Falls over the weekend and played in the two nearby creeks at the campground. The host was also great and very helpful due to a scheduling mishap on my side. Our review is three stars because of the proximity of site 11 to the toilets. Lots of people and smells, also all we had was a van and it barely fit in the parking. I would not book this site. Or make site 11 first come first serve and make one of the first come first serve sites reservable. Other items were great stargazing and there is no cell coverage. We were pretty happy about both of those :-)

Our first visit to the campground. Beautiful location. Easy access. Close enough to the Mt St Helens and Lewis River areas for an easy day trip. Loved the big old growth trees in the campground. Quite a bit of blow down on the ground. Our site, #13, was roomy and private but down wind from the vault toilet. Would definitely stay there again but choose a different campsite.

Park is well kept and clean. It is close to Falls Creek Falls hike which is well worth the relatively easy hike of 2 mi each way.
