Although it rained cats and dogs, we had a good time. We loved the lush woodsy campground. The outhouses were in really good shape. It's so nice having a camp host. We'll be back.

Great campgrounds, clean and well kept. Toilets are not the best, but they are maintained and cleaned frequently. Firewood on site for a reasonable fee, friendly camp hosts, no cell phone service so plan ahead, nice creek access! Overall a great time and we will be back!

Nice campground in a beautiful forest setting, it was hot so creek wading was a great thing to do.The smaller creek, Paradise, was just over the bank from this site, and the bigger one, the wind river,is just a short walk away. Only one tent pad but there was room for a second tent. Bathrooms clean, smelled ok. The log trucks starting at 5:45 am coming down the hill with the Jake brakes on is a pretty rude awakening!

Paradise is one of my favorite campgrounds in the PacNW. Nestled in old growth forest next to a beautiful creek, the sites are well situated, offer plenty of quiet privacy and the facilities are well-maintained. Two nearby hikes to waterfalls (Panther Creek and Falls Creek) add to the attraction. I look forward to many future visits.

The creek was perfect for exploration by kids. The temperature was a welcome relief from Portland.
