I have camped at this location for many years. The reasons I come back are, large spaces with plenty of trees in between. The Cispus River trail is beautuful. The camping hosts are always helpful. The restrooms are clean. And best of all you are about 35 minutes away from the road into awesome Mt St Helens.

Had a nice sized site that backed up to the forest. Easily accommodated two tents. Super nice camp host too. The river next to the campground is pleasant place to hang out. The campground is a good place to take the drive to Mt St Helens view point. I would note that a few of the sites are super small and best suited for a camper.

The site wasn’t flat where you pull in for your camper, but we did have a nice area for a fire and picnic. Our campers where both 26ft fit snugly but we managed.

Amazing campground. Loops A and B have lots of space between sites so that you hardly even hear anyone else. Clean facilities, great walking trails, beautiful forest grounds.

Campsites were large and secluded from each other. Amenities were clean. Loved our stay and can’t wait to go back.
