My stay was nine days and eight nights. Beautiful weather, but no water. All if the hydrant spigots have been removed due to benzene toxicity in the water source(s). DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. This toxin causes cancer. Banton's Market in Packwood, has a water machine, and they sell water. Firewood on-site. $10 a bundle. Honor system in place. The Chevron in Packwood ran out of firewood, and the 76 ran low. Hosts were helpful, and patrolling.

Our family loves camping at La Wis Wis. The hosts this year were friendly, enjoyed chatted with our kids, and kept the bathrooms clean and stocked with t.p. They also took the time to offer us help to put our fire out when we were packing up. From the D loop it took us about 30 minutes to walk to the blue hole. It’s worth it! Water is freezing, but it’s still fun.
No water this year, but Packwood is a 10 min drive for cell service & water
Site H11 can accommodate a small tent and there is parking for a trailer/rv. Our 20x20 tent did not fit. We paid for a FF spot in the D loop & requested a refund through the app. The H loop is perfect for small to medium RVs. I love the ease of walking to the blue hole.

It's a beautiful campground. We appreciated its closeness to the entrance of the national park.

Site 11 (looks like it was site 12) is newly renumbered and did not match the campground map. This site is wide open and had kids from other sites running through it. We would have never booked this site if we had known. Even more annoying we ended up having to pay in full a second time to move to another open site. The hosts were super friendly (5 stars) and the pit toilets were well kept. Overall this is still a great campground but know if you reserve online you cannot change sites on arrival.

Spectacular campground but... the site A28 was reserved for a trailer but was more like a parallel parking spot. Great for tent camping. Then we were told we could not transfer to another spot but needed to pay cash or check for another spot. There is an ATM in the town 10 mi away.
That was less than ideal but the campground including Purcell Falls and the Blue Hole are exceptional for small families who enjoy throwing rocks into water.
