The campground was very spacious and quiet, and absolutely stunning. Our site was 3 mins walking to the falls, which were gorgeous! Such a beautiful place! I wish there was day-parking that didn't require a reservation, since we had planned to stay in the area the next day also, but couldn't, because we couldn't leave the car anywhere.
Bathrooms were quite sinky...like very intense, and I am not very picky about vault bathrooms, that and the "reservation only" day-use were probably the only down sides, other than that, I highly recommend!

Quiet campsite, not too close to neighbors, was able to get 25' bumper pull into space without problems. Gorgeous river and falls. Great family experience. It was a rough road to get there, however. Not sure I would pull my trailer over that last section of road again.

We've been camping at Lower Falls for over 10 years now. This was easily one of our best visits yet. The new parking permit system has insured great access to all of the trails in the area and kept the crowds down in the campground as well. I know the reservation system isn't perfect and doesn't meet everyone's needs all of the time, but this area was under so much pressure from misuse by visitors that something really needed to be done.
Even with the new system in place, the areas that saw the most human traffic had the all too familiar wads of toilet paper, cans & bottles, and left behind bags of dog poop. Please clean up after yourselves, People. This is not your house. You're guests here.
On the positive side, we saw so much wildlife this visit and I believe it was in no small part due to the lack of human presence. Kudos to the USFS for acting to preserve one of SW Washington's greatest natural recreational resource areas. Future generations deserve to enjoy this space as much as we have.
