Adams Fork Campground

Pros: the campsites were spacious, shady and the restrooms were clean. Some reviews stated garbage was not available, but we found there were garbages. Thank goodness!

Con: the water level was way too high to allow our children/ adults to play in the nearby river to cool off and we had to drive quite a ways to arrive at Mossyrock park to find a place we could swim.

Otherwise it’s a great spot! Small campground with a water pump and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay.

Great, clean, quiet campground with beautiful location next to the river. Hosts kept the place super clean. But long distance to great hiking and the roads were in poor shape in places, especially between Takhlakh and Killeen Creek trailhead.

Pristine location in the heart of Mt Adams wilderness! The best mountain air, with cedar flavor, very quiet and peaceful.
Camping sites are huge, most of them, with room for more than one tent (ours could easily fit 4-5).
For best hike I would recommend Council Bluff Trail, about 10-20 mi away depending on route (some on dirt roads), but with spectacular views.
The camping has static toilets (single) with no running water, and water is available from the river on hand pump from what I could see, so definitely on the wild side, but worth the nature side of it (watch for the chipmunks, cute, cuddly and fast on food, no other wildlife around).

The location was beautiful. But the one glaring flaw with the campground was that there was no way to dispose of your garbage! I've never seen a National Parks campground that didn't supply a means of disposing of your garbage! Normally a "pack out" rule is only applied to walk in tent sites. We only stayed at the campground 2 out of the 4 days we had reserved because living with the garbage 5 people created and trying to stash the garbage bags in our vehicles was getting old. And the hoard of chipmunks were starting to get aggressive.

Awesome campground, close to pristine lakes, views and rivers.
The trees are huge, offering lovely shade and shelter for large campsites.
ORV folks are quiet and respectful.
Campground host is wonderful!!
