Campground was nice and proximity to amazing falls was great. Services were poor however. We’ve camped at a lot of pot toilets and this one was by far the worse. Water was also a long way to pump.

Beautiful, forested campground next to the lower falls of Washington State's Lewis River between Mt. St. Helen's and 12,000 foot Mt. Adams. Large campsites which, on the lower campground loop, are near the river and falls. A well maintained trail follows the river upstream to two more smaller falls. My wife and I have been camping for over 40 years in the western U.S., Alaska, British Columbia, the Yukon and across Canada to the maritime provinces and this is one of my favorite campgrounds.

Unfortunately this park has been discovered and is now over run with way too many people. The bathrooms are unable to keep up and there is lots of garbage. I feel sorry for the rangers having to deal with all of the people that show up every day.

The campground is beautiful, each spot has sufficient space not to feel on top of each other, and the bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. The falls are so much fun, and so close to camp. However, our camping trip was ruined by someone stealing our entire cooler filled with food on our very first night there. Never in my life had something like this happened to me before while camping. Had to spend an entire day heading to the nearest grocery store to re-stock, and being a single woman with children, I didn’t feel comfortable or safe for the rest of the trip.

We were there the week before the end of the season and enjoyed the campground with only a few neighbours. The sites were spacious and clean. The hiking paths were well marked and maintained. The scenery was fantastic. We viewed the lower, middle and upper falls and have taken with us many memories. Worth re-visiting.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

1PM

  • Bring your reservation confirmation to the campground.
  • The campground opens in mid-May.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
