Good

One of the best camp spots towards the coast range. Lot's of space for all sorts of activities and being so close to the river was a added bonus.

A beautiful group site by a swimming hole - a perfect spot for camping with kids. The swimming hole here (as of 2024) has a sloping rocky beach with plenty of shallows leading into a *slow moving* deeper pool. Tons of baby fish and another deep pool just upstream made for good floating and amateur fish catching. Kids ages 2-12 were able to have a water experience that was safe and/or challenging for them. Our group had about 40 folks, and I would say that is the max that can comfortably camp here. While there is plenty of parking space in the upper lot, there isn't actually that much flat, not-gravel ground to set up tents in the no-vehicle zone farther down. Single bathroom was as clean as you can expect of a pit toilet, with plenty of paper, and the dumpster was recently emptied. BIG concrete fire ring worked well for a large group. Given the wildfires and smoke in the Cascades, this coast range spot was a real win for clean air, lovely water and the ability to have a campfire for s'mores. There's also a store/restaurant up the street (The Outpost) where you can resupply with wood and ice!

Reserve for privacy and your own group/family, but you always have randos stop and walk around the gate, and right into campsites. Maybe like stores now, you could install coded lock on restroom? Signs don't seem to matter.

We have 3 families with 8 kids total and this spot has it all! Enough room for the kids to safely roam, river access, picnic tables, bathroom, and huge fire pit! Rocky Bend is an excellent group spot for family and friends to gather in the beautiful forest. We love it here.

Bring your own tp!!

Nothing better than 'Rockybend', always an enjoyment when we stay at this gem.

Great spot.

Great campground! Love this place. Even when it is raining!
