Wonderful camping, stayed cool by the river and checked out Iron Creek Falls about 10 mi 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.

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!

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

The restrooms were kept clean by the camp hosts and the whole campground area was beautiful - check out the falls which are up the road 3-5 mi (towards Mt. St. Helens)
Great area - we would stay again.

My family and I camp here at least once a year. It is our favorite campground. We love the trails around the sight and the surrounding areas. The campground is always kept clean as well as the bathrooms. I recommend this campground to everyone.
