I was very pleased to see that the campground went back to having about one third of the sites as walk up only.

Camp sites are very nice, with quality fire pits and picnic tables. Sites are relatively spread out, with lots of plant life between spots. We loved walking the trail that surrounds the campground. Iron Creek is very beautiful. The hosts were both very helpful. We would definitely recommend this campground!

Wonderful camping, stayed cool by the river and checked out Iron Creek Falls about 10 miles south of the campground it is really cool! Also love the spirit lake trail (maybe it’s called harmony something). We experienced beautiful wild flowers, tons of waterfalls and breathtaking views cruising around Mt. Saint Helen’s and Mt. Rainer.

Beautiful forested campground. Loved the trail loop around the campground that had multiple areas for river access! Also fun to explore the nearby Iron Creek and Camp Creek Falls, and Layser Cave.

The Douglas firs at this campground were so majestic that it was like camping in the midst of the redwoods. Water faucets were plentiful, and we appreciated the clean toilets!
