Beautiful forest. Very nice sites and hiking trails. Site 01 has a generator running at random hours to fuel the water pump. It emanates sound and air pollution. Host was awesome. We had few neighbors due to heavy rain.

Nice dry camping with clean outhouses. I didn’t expect the generator running at the host campground though. That was quite loud.

Parking space very uneven. Would be helpful if tent area dimensions were included. Trash in campsite i had to clean up. Excited to see Guard house getting some remodeling.

Lovely campground, big trees, sounds of the river, well-maintained, clean pit toilets, good camp host. Good access to Mt Rainier and Mt St. Helens and Mt. Adams areas.

This place was one of my favorite spots. We were at site 7. When you first arrive, it doesn’t look like much, but go down the little trail and you can set your tent up pretty much on the river. It was by far the best site at this campground.

We loved this campsite! There was a wonderful short hike in the forest and a beautiful river with a swimming hole. We hope to be able to return soon!
