The reservation process and explanation of sights is great. I could be noted that water is available by a hand pump for containers. The reservation process for parking at the middle or upper falls, after your campground reservation is difficult without any phone service to apply for them. More parking needs to be available for these specific locations.
The road getting to the campground from the West is poor with a dirt section for about 2 miles, with many dangerous humps in the paved sections. The road from the East is really poor.
On our specific weekend, the camp host was not there. There was an unruly group partying with music and yelling till 3am. I left in the middle of the night to contact the Sheriff after a confrontation with the shitbags. 10+ miles for cell service and no show from the Sheriff. Contacted park staff the next morning who were unable to boot out the offenders and didn't do anything about the disturbance that continued again the next night. I was able to contact the Sheriff finally during the day who spoke to the group but stated he didn't have the authority to boot the offenders either? I call BS on that one since there were multiple sites who complained. Overall the sight was in a great location, just poor supervision of offending campers who should have been booted on day 1. It shouldn't come to physical altercations before enforcement is done. Boondock locations need a camp host or a park ranger with the authority to remove shitbags ruining the weekend for everyone else.

We love the camping site, except the toilet. It smelled so bad, and no toilet papers. Besides that, every thing else is perfect. The camping site is beautiful with lots of trees. The Lower falls is so beautiful. We swim in the falls and hike to Upper falls. Lots of hiking trails. We love it. We will be back.

Everything was ver my nice except the group that was screaming until 1am. Luckily they were far away, but I feel bad for whoever was near their campsite because they woke me up a lot with their voices carrying. They sounded like they were having fun though! Lol

One of my favourite campsites - the falls walk is a must, and an easy drive to a lot of St Helens hikes too.
Can get quite busy but the tent sites are a good size.
If people learned to put the toilet seat down then the toilets would be ok too!!!

There is a trail to the park from the lower falls area. I felt the signage in the campsite was pretty poor. It was great to see the falls at sunset and in the morning when it was so peaceful.
