Stayed here many times over the past 40 years. Tent space C-9 is one of the BEST spaces in the entire campground. Secluded space felt very private compared to most other spaces.

Th campground is in an incredible location! It is really nice to be so close to a gorgeous river and surrounded by the trees and mountain. With that said, they really pack the sites in for a large percentage of the campsite. When you drive through it feels like the sites are on top of each other. There are people constantly riding around on electric bikes and driving remote control cars which makes it feels like less of an escape from the city.

The bathrooms in the D loop are pretty old compared to others in the grounds. The windows are both broken and there are flies everywhere. Every morning the toilet paper would be out and it would take hours, often until 12pm, for the staff to come by to clean the bathrooms and restock toilet paper. There also currently isn’t any water at the campground and based on reviews it looks like they haven’t had water in a couple years.

Overall, it is nice because the surrounding area is gorgeous but the actual campground could use a little work.

This is a serene campground, especially if you get a site right along the river. Beautiful!

I've been going to law wis wis my whole life, ive always loved going, its quiet and clean and safe for my kids to ride their bikes. Normally the campground has water, this year it did not which was only a minor set back. I was a little sad that a lot the little streams/creeks were dried up. Every other camper there was respectful of the campsite rules which is always nice. There are some nice hikes around the area and being only 5 min from Packwood it was convenient to go grab more ice for out cooler. The picnic tables are nice and spacious. The outhouses were clean, the only negative is they get really smelly in the mornings.
Overall would recommend

Beautiful campsite, right on the river with lots of space and privacy. You can get down to the river on a little dirt slope, that leads to rocks, but the river is still accessible from this site.

Discovering the Blue Pool in the river was great. The picnic area also looks nice.

We'been here 6+ times and this was one of the best: campfires allowed, beautiful weather, and good friends!

Looks like a reconditioned fresh water system is in place and still in wrapping. What's going on? Yes, we can bring our own water, but this second season without water makes me wonder.
