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 :-)

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

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.

The campground itself is great - widely spaced sites with lots of separating foliage, great trees providing nearly complete shade, access to the creek and the river, and a trailhead. Unfortunately, many of our neighbors treated the campground as their private backyard for late night partying, with screaming, loud music, bright lights, and all this roaming through the campground. This went on well passed midnight. I don't know if this rowdy behavior is common at this campground, or was happening because the camp host was absent. Would recommend, but for the other campers.

- 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.
