I have been camping at Paradise Creek Campground for over 40 years and absolutely love it there! The campground is well kept, the out-houses are well maintained, the noise curfew is always honored and I feel safe, even being there alone.

Park is well kept and clean. It is close to Falls Creek Falls hike which is well worth the relatively easy hike of 2 miles each way.

Our first visit to the campground. Beautiful location. Easy access. Close enough to the Mt St Helens and Lewis River areas for an easy day trip. Loved the big old growth trees in the campground. Quite a bit of blow down on the ground. Our site, #13, was roomy and private but down wind from the vault toilet. Would definitely stay there again but choose a different campsite.

Paradise Creek is an awesome spot. We hiked to Falls Creek Falls over the weekend and played in the two nearby creeks at the campground. The host was also great and very helpful due to a scheduling mishap on my side. Our review is three stars because of the proximity of site 11 to the toilets. Lots of people and smells, also all we had was a van and it barely fit in the parking. I would not book this site. Or make site 11 first come first serve and make one of the first come first serve sites reservable. Other items were great stargazing and there is no cell coverage. We were pretty happy about both of those :-)

Pretty good location for visiting Mt St Helen and/or the Columbia River Gorge. Pretty and well shaded with some FCFS sites available.

The campground itself is great - widely spaced sites with lots of separating foliage, great trees providing nearly complete shade, access to the creek and the river, and a trailhead. Unfortunately, many of our neighbors treated the campground as their private backyard for late night partying, with screaming, loud music, bright lights, and all this roaming through the campground. This went on well passed midnight. I don't know if this rowdy behavior is common at this campground, or was happening because the camp host was absent. Would recommend, but for the other campers.

Very nice campground. Our site was clean, up against the creek, with lots of privacy and old-growth trees. Only downside was during the summer afternoons, there were lots and lots of little gnats. Drove my kids crazy.
@JenniferT29195 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #21
We LOVE this little campground for it's peacefulness in the woods feel. Everyone is very friendly and polite. Safe for kiddos and pets. Great little creek to cool off in during the day.

This was a clean beautiful camp
@BruceC8051679 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #10
Great host clean camp grounds.
@EllenW9502835 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #9
Great place to camp. Sites are kept clean. There are many little spots to hang out by the creeks and get your feet wet. The camp host Kevin was very courteous and helpful. We'll be back next year.
@RickK622B2932F · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #19
Nice location, well maintained, and easy to get to! Campground host was at Beaver Creek but stopped in a couple times per day (no firewood for sale). No issues!
@AmberNEE55F65A · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #17
Great campground and not too busy. Site was small but good for just two people. Highly recommend.
@CarolinaC53381 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #40
Beautiful location with a peaceful creek. The campsite we reserved wasnt very private, but the campground has other spots that offer more seclusion. Theres access to the Lava Butte Trail, which was a little hard to follow at first. We had to navigate around some rocks before the path became clearer. Its a short but steep hikeless than half a mile in, we came across what we believe was a cougar.
@KaraC1000793 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #21
A peaceful retreat in a beautiful forest, spacious sites and clean restrooms.
@RickM3065083 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #10
nice clean campground. Several first come sites that are plenty deep for our 30' travel trailer.
@OliviaMB54C82A · Camped on Sep 14, 2024 at Campsite #26
Our site (#026) was clean but very exposed with little to no privacy. Not the worst though as its back against thick woods. My only complaint was all the rude dog owners we encountered with off leash dogs in the campground and by the creek. Had one dog attack my on leash dog and Im the one who got cussed out. Not sure if I will be returning considering how often this happened during our stay. If your dog doesnt have a good recall DONT LET IT OFF LEASH! I dont care if hes friendly cuz half the time THEY ARENT. Especially in an area where its prohibited. Common sense people.

Campsite was beautiful but online said camp fires were okay but when we arrived camp fires were not allowed.
@WillB9916981 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #17
Nice quiet campground, perfect place to relax and walk along either the creek or the river. Had a great weekend with my family there. The host was super friendly and helpful as well.
@JoanS7048588 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #19
This is a beautiful forest campground at the confluence of the Wind River and Paradise Creek. It's well maintained and peaceful. It's best for visitors who want a quiet experience immersed in Pacific Northwest serenity.
@THOMASA5851804 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #9
Camp host was fantastic, very helpful. Paradise creek is one of our favorite campgrounds
@PAULL8120165 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #3
I was surprised at the noise from the road.I left for home early because of the motorcycles screaming up and down the road all day long.
@KirbyF3C222914 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #3
Very nice shady campground near Paradise creek. Get one of the back camping spots if you can - the front has a lot of tree fall and the spots are closer together so you need to get luckier with your neighbors.
@LidiaR5504A923 · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #32
Bathrooms can use more air fresheners or put some sawdust in them. Sawdust would be so helpful
@JenniferT29195 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #12
We love this campground for the 4th of July! Our poor pups are always our first concern when it comes to safety around this holiday as they HATE fireworks. Thank you so much for providing such a clean, peaceful and well taken care of (and monitored) campsite. Very refreshing and always friendly!!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
