We love this campground on the flanks of Mt. St. Helen's. Beautiful camping in the lush cool old growth forest. Right in the Cispus River and plenty of areas to explore. Don't miss Layser cave not to far away and of course Windy Ridge and all the that the National Volcanic Monument has to offer.

I tried to cancel my 1 night reservation but after waiting on hold for 35+minutes I hung up. Unacceptable customer service! No wonder so many sites are unoccupied .. Unable to cancel reservation!

Each campsite was roomy. We had basically no bugs (early Sept, 2022.) Nice loop trail. Nice host.

This is a great place to camp. Beautiful trails along the river. We stayed two nights. Both nights, campers were quiet once it got late. The bathrooms however were smelly and there were no lights.

This is a lovely and secluded campground with plenty of area between camping spaces and several walking paths. We had a wonderful time.

Camp sites were well maintained as was the campground. The camp host was really nice and helpful. Trails to the picnic area could have been marked better.
Unfortunately we encountered a campsite with 2 large dogs and a medium sized dog that were not leashed and charged out of their site to the driveway where my 4 year old granddaughter came face to face with one of the dogs that was barking and right in her face. The adults in the campsite did not even call their dogs back.
