Campsites were spacious, and bathrooms were clean. We went for two nights during the week and it was calm. We were hoping to play in the water but the river is too fast this time of year. Locals said it’s best to come end of summer when you can walk out to the middle of the river. The trail to the falls were amazingly kept. It can be a little tricky getting down to the falls, but my 5 year old made it. We were hoping to drive the full route of NF 90 and make it to Trout Lake, but the pot holes were too much. We have a high clearance vehicle, but decided not to drive hours of potholes and didn’t want to drive the full distance to see if the road improved. Ape caves, and the Trail of Two forests near St. Helens on NF 8303 are great places to check out. My daughter loved climbing through the lava tube. The Lone Fir Resort in Cougar has excellent Huckleberry ice cream and is about an hour away from the campsite. Cougar is also the closest gas so if you want to drive some back roads, gas up. :)

We were very surprised at the quality of the camp grounds! The fire pits were great, the vault toilets clean and stocked, the campsites were cozy and private in the upper loop and the access to the falls was super easy. Only draw back is the drive was a bit long for a weekend trip after work but really not terrible.
