Sunset Falls Campground

I was very impressed with the camping spot! It felt away from the other camping spots, and there was room for two tents and two vehicles to park. The only con was this spot is very close to the main road.

We had a great time at our site (#5) with a preteen and two toddlers. People were respectful of other's spaces, no one was too loud. Our site was about twenty feet of brush to the road, so during the day there is a lot of traffic going by, but it's not that noticeable. It is good to know if you have small children staying with you, though. We had enough room to camp with two tents (one sized for four people on the pad and one for two people) in the space near the picnic table, which isn't an established pad. Our neighbors let us use their jumper cables, which was very appreciated. I had read previous reviews on the state of the vault toilets, so when I got there I was expecting the worst. But they were actually very clean and in good repair. There weren’t many flies, which means that people were reading the piece of paper posted up that asked them to put the toilet seat down to avoid flies. The smell wasn't even as horrible as I was expecting. A+ on CLEAN, better than expected vault toilets! Also, I forgot my keys by the waterfall and a lovely family stopped and grabbed them for me, reuniting me with them on their way back. It was overall a lovely visit and we will come back again- we even met someone whose family has been going for years and he had nothing but good things to say.

We had a great time at sunset falls! The small falls were delightful. The park host was helpful. There’s a great mountain bike park at Yacolt Burn only 15 minutes away. If you are sensitive to sound, heads up there are lots of dirt bikes, ATVs and motorcycles in the area.

The campground was poorly maintained compared to our previous visits. Much of the area which was normally mowed was unkept and un-mowed. The trash dumpster in the camp area was full and overflowing. Our reserved site was occupied by an obviously intoxicated woman who was attempting to occupy the site. The camp host offered no assistance in convincing the unauthorized intoxicated person to leave the site. The camp host was in complete absence during our stay. The camp hosts did not verify our status as handicap occupants. Hosts during previous years stays always verified our handicap status for authorization of reduced camp fees.

Thlis is a great simple campground. It has nice swimming areas appropriate for both children and adults.

This is my third year camping at Sunset falls. I love it so much. We always have a good time. Try to book on weekdays when it isn’t so busy if you like a more quiet peaceful time. Bathrooms sometimes very smelly, but this time wasn’t so bad! Campsite is always clean. Would totally recommend.

Lovely campground, quiet and private spaces. Toilets are stinky/buggy and there's no potable water plumbing, which is inconvenient but I'm a backpacker with a gravity bag so that's not important to me.

Beautiful location! The river is so nice to walk up and explore. The waterfalls are great and perfect to jump in from the top assuming you’re okay with cold water.

Quiet campground, and this particular campsite is above the river. Can easily walk down to Sunset Falls. Vault toilets.

We really enjoyed ourselves. We got quite lucky with our site too. I highly recommend site 11 if you want to feel secluded in nature. And I would recommend sites 12 & 13 for larger camp groups. Beautiful Views, Clean sites, great river access. Toilets were ok, quite old. I’d recommend bringing your own disposable toilet seat covers. But otherwise it was a great getaway! Very thankful to the Host Family :)

The site was nice enough, but it was quite a bit of a hike in, much more than indicated. The bathrooms were horrific and not kept up, however. Lots of flies in the area, too.
