What visitors say
Chehalis River Campground is a rustic campground right beside the Chehalis River, and most reviewers rate it highly for its setting and quiet. Returning campers describe great sites, reasonable rates and a well-kept, old-school feel.
There are no hookups, and it's pack-in, pack-out with no garbage cans. Toilets are outhouses, which several campers say are clean but smelly. Firewood is sold in good-sized bundles. The hosts get praise from many visitors, though one person was turned away at the gate on a weekend when they only wanted to look around.
Walking trails and fishing are the main activities. Ice and drinks are available at an inn up the road, and there's propane at a gas station a couple of minutes away. A small black bear is known to frequent the area and has left campers alone.
Costs can add up. Sites allow two vehicles, and each additional vehicle is charged nightly in cash, on top of a reservation fee. One group found the total steep for a site with no water or toilet paper. A recent visitor found some trails closed after a storm. Bring your own water, toilet paper and garbage bags.
