The weather was cloudy with a bit of rain. A few sites could not be accessed with a trailer as there were trees in the way. Otherwise the site was good. Nearest bathroom had a frozen, but the next bathroom was close, so that really was not a problem. Had a great time. Some great trails leading to waterfalls which were not difficult to hike. Liked the idea of reservations and not first come first served.

Wonderful, quiet campground. We were in site B13, which was big enough for two tents and close enough to the Cowlitz River that you could hear it rushing just one loop over. We went in mid-to-late June and it was not buggy at all. Looking forward to coming back!

The camp host was not on-site the entire three days we were there. The toilets were closed, and the port-a-potty's were completely full of sewage. Two other camper's had their camp sites stolen despite having a reservation, the existing occupants claimed they had permission from the camp host, but nobody could find the camp host to sort out the dispute. The other camper's were from Seattle and Portland, and had to drive back home. The group who stole the campsite talked loudly all night, keeping my family up (again, no camp host to ask for help).
The only way I would visit again is if the current camp host was fired and replaced with one that was attentive and present. This situation could have escalated because of a lack of an authority figure to force the campsite thieves to leave.
