This website had the camp site map numbered wrong when I booked. So I thought I was booking a double site right in the middle of camp sites next to bathroom, that I had stayed in before but when we got there it was not that site but a small single all the way at the end.Map has been fixed i believe, but had to try and squeeze 4 tents in to a small sight.

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 werent 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.

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.

A quiet, small campground that does not disappoint. Camp host was always available for firewood and a friendly greeting. Best part is access to the day-use area for swimming and jumping off rocks at the waterfalls. Have camped here several times, campsites have always been in good condition.

We had a great time at sunset falls! The small falls were delightful. The park host was helpful. Theres 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.

Yes, the bathrooms are old, but the sites were wonderful and very private

Fairly quiet.

Love this site! I would like to have updated restrooms. The site keepers are wonderful. Waterfall in campground, what more could you ask for?

It was horrible, in fact I didn't stay the last night the out house was filthy the trash was all over the campsite when we got there. I've stayed here since 2012 and it's always been awesome and clean

The Sunset Falls Campground was very well kept with campsites spaced well so you didn't feel like you were right up against the next site. The spaces were on the small side, even with the space between sites, and you do have to set up your tent in the approved camping space. The campground itself is small so you don't have large crowds to deal with. There are several access points to the river as well.
The campground is in the woods but on a traveled road so there was regular vehicle traffic. People drove very fast on the road, which increased road noise. On our first night someone drove down the road and open fired with a small firearm. We believe it was a .22 due to the sound. It was difficult to tell if they were firing into the campground or at the road signs. We didn't hear any bullets hit trees but it did present an unsafe environment. They were likely firing at the road signs as they did show old bullet holes.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Gorgeous campground, nice and secluded. Bathrooms need some work and some serious air circulation. But for the brief moments we were away from gorgeous river and waterfalls, didn’t spoil our time at all. Perfect spot. Please don’t ruin it.

Dreamy and Beautiful campsite with lush vegetation all around. So many waterfalls to explore near the are, our favorite was the Sunset Falls that is really close to the campground.
@StephenM322 · Camped on Aug 11, 2020 at Campsite #5
Always a great spot, the new camp hosts were very friendly. The only issue I would say is that some of the other campers were a little noisy at times later, than they should have been. The falls are nice to climb around on for our 8 yr. old.
