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.

Its a beautiful location. We have been camping at Lower Falls for over 30 years but what was once a peaceful, relaxing stay has become a mad house. I don't blame the rangers or hosts, it's just that the weekend visitors tend to be slobs. Broken up styrofoam coolers, used baby diaper, cans, loud music til 1 am, bottles and the list goes on. An international group of cliff divers were there, over 100 people not including the 100 or more day use visitors. Its a combination of Disneyland in August and a 21st century version of Woodstock. I believe if they did not allow weekend reservations but required a 5 night minimum stay and severely limited the day use it could become a great getaway as opposed to the frat house it has become. This review is not based on one year but on the last 6 years, I'm sad to say a great family tradition has come to an end.

This is a well cared for campground with spacious sites, easily accessible hiking trails, and lots of space for whatever you want to to! My son and I had a great trip and are looking forward to another.

We had a great family reunion with about 75 people. It worked out very well because we were able to use the space between the upper and lower loop and had plenty of room for all of our tables stoves and cooking etc. Everybody enjoyed their time immensely. We secured a good portion of the lower loop, so we were all grouped together and had no interference from other campers. Everybody enjoyed visiting lower falls, middle falls and upper falls. We also did a mountain bike ride for 27 miles which turned out to be more difficult than we expected. It was fun and a beautiful ride. The only issue we had was the road where it had washed out and is still gravel. The problem is a big dip. Larger fifth wheel camp trailers cannot cross it without dragging. One camper sustained some damage. Going around the other way is also an issue because there are very deep potholes and low growing overhanging trees.

The bathrooms had a very strong ammonia smell, I don't know that they'd been cleaned. One of the water pumps was not functional.

This place is stunning. One of the most beautiful campgrounds in the PNW. However, the falls from which people jump seems to attract people who don't seem to care much about preserving the beauty. Lots of beer cans and bottles are dropped along the path from the campground to the river. It's sad to see such a lovely place to get trashed. Make sure you bring some kind of shoes you can wear in the water. Walking in the river can be very hard on your feet. The restrooms are a nightmare.
