The campsite was lovely, but there is still no running water available (was here last month and it was not working then either).Also, the nearest two bathrooms were closed. We had to walk very very far to use the restroom.

While we loved the setting of the campsite and the proximity to Rainier National Park, we found the camp to be poorly managed. We never saw a camp host either in their own posted camp or anywhere on the property for our entire stay which was a literal danger to the park and forest because many campers were illegally burning firewood during a posted fire ban. Many of the bathrooms were in awful shape and lacked toilet paper. I don't understand how one of the largest camps next to one of the most beautiful national parks in the state, let alone the nation, has such an embarassment of a campsite to serve the people who want to visit the area. This area is beautiful and needs to be respected but not staffing or holding the camp host to a standard of conduct is a danger to the land and the people.

We got in on a short-notice reservation for La Wis Wis campground for a double spot 18M Loop D right on the river. It was amazing for its location and had lots of room. Now one of our favorite spots! There was an issue with water but we were notified with plenty of time to pack our own. The only downer was the vault toilet not being maintained thru the weekend but we packed extra TP Cell coverage was almost nonexistent for our phones but our older iPad managed to get 1 bar in our tent so it became our hotspot for emergency contacts and text

The best campground in Washington. Large, shaded sites, tall Douglas firs, sparkling river!

Gorgeous campgrounds next to the river. Clean pit toilets.

Nice campground located snuggly in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, along the Cowlitz River. The campsites were spacious and very nicely shaded by the trees. The non-moveable picnic tables were great. The bathrooms are only vault toilets or port-a-potties, however they were very nicely kept up. Cell phone service was almost non existent, not a problem if you’re trying to connect with nature. You’ll love the peace and calm. Overall, a very cozy campsite that’s begs to be returned to.
