Kevin was great and also kept the campground and bathrooms very clean. Campers brought a TON of dogs this year but he enforced the leash policy (thank goodness - some of the dogs were pretty mean looking). Really appreciate his pleasant attitude and how well he stayed on top of the goings-on in the campground. Great host.

The camp sites were clean as were the vault and flush toilets. The camp hosts were especially helpful and friendly and were able to give us several good hiking suggestions.

From start to finish of my camping trip with my family Beaver camp ground is by far my favorite place to go. Every day my kids were able to play in the river and make new friends. The camp host was awesome I accidentally cut myself on day one and found out that I had no bandages to fix it. The camp host saved the day and I was able to bandage myself and get to town for supply's.

We camped in the group site for the first time (we have been in the regular camp sites many time). The group site was the perfect site for our group (24 folks/kids) at one point. The vault toilet was kept clean. We didn't use one of the areas due to an abundance of wood there. It would be nice to have that cleaned up. Otherwise we are hoping to be back next summer.

Location or site 15 was excellent for our 20 ft. travel trailer. Closest to Wind river.

10 out 10 would go here again! Not only are we new to RV camping but we've never been to Beaver Campground, so we were not sure what to expect. I cannot express our thanks enough to Kevin the camp host. Since we've never RV camped before, he was able to guide us into the proper camp spot to hold our RV and answered an outrageous amount of questions from my husband and I. He helped us when we thought our propane was out and the pump was making a noise and he didn't even hesitate to gently explain what was going on and how to fix it. Again, we cannot express our thanks. We will for sure be back again! Huge shout out to Kevin! Thank you so much!

The campground was very clean and quite. Great place to spend several days relaxing by the river.
@ErinS5754026 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #17
Camp sites where clean, spread out nicely and easy to find. Location was excellent for accessing Mount St Helens and the gorge. We arrived on a Friday and the host had movies on the lawn for kids, that was a great treat.

Beaver was a wonderful camps site for our family holiday weekend getaway. It was great to unplug from the world and become one with nature. We enjoyed the trails and local scenery and went fishing nearby. It was the beginning of a new family tradition. Kevin was awesome and provided us with some nice options for activities. We'll be back!

2nd time visiting Campground was quiet Our site #4 was overgrown with some weeds but other than that all was good Had the opportunity to visit backwoods brewery nearby and hike Falls creek falls And the the weather was great
@LauraC7322672 · Camped on May 12, 2023 at Campsite #4

Restroom were very dirty - No Toilet paper - Beings we rented the group site for 3 days host said we could come in a night early at single rate. We got there and set up and she said we had to pay the group site nightly fee. So our night cost $124.00. - No Water - No garbage cans - No garbage bags - The whole park was in need of cleaning after the group before us. - Camp host was ALWAYS GONE for 2 or 3 days at a time. Could never get a chance to ask questions. - We have been coming to Beaver a long time. This was our 27th year. Never seen it this bad. Last year was bad but this year was awful. Really need someone to clean up the place and take pride in the campground. When I tried to make reservations for next year had to get them to release the schedule to make reservations a year in advance.

This campground has potential but is was not well run while we were there. The campsites are generally well spaced and there is a lot of understory so privacy was okay. This is mainly a tenting campground. Very small trailers would fit in some sites. Medium/big trailers would need to pay for the double sites to get the long driveway. Ours is a 21'ft (25ft overall) trailer. We did fit in site 13 nicely. Site 17 or 20 might work but other than that, we would need one of the double sites. The host was nice when we arrived and let us switch spots from #6 that we had reserved to #13 FF, so our equipment would fit. However the bathrooms, all of them, had no TP when we arrived Sat, until Wed night when somebody came and stocked them. They did not do anything else however like update the reserved signs which were all out of date now and clean the bathrooms. We saw the hosts when we arrived Sat and never saw them again. We left on Friday of Labor Day Weekend. The campground was quiet during the week but Thursday night people started filing in for the long weekend and none of the tags had been updated. People came into our site to ask us what was going on but we couldn't help them as we had no cell service. The reader board does not list which sites are FF as some are reservable and some our not. All of the water spigots were capped except one at the south end of the campground. This included the one in the field that another review said was threaded for us trailers to fill a water tank. So you will need an adapter for the non-threaded faucets. We had one luckily. River was accessed through the cul-de-sac near site 16. It was not beach like and is rocky. On a side note, group site 2 looked quite spacious with room for about 3 trailers plus several tents. The water was also capped there. Group site one looked terrible to me being much smaller, less shaded and grp 2 driving by. Nearest dump station Skamania Fair Grounds $5.00.

Loved the campground and river. Lots of bush though!
@KeithK1584248 · Camped on Aug 5, 2022 at Campsite #6
Great location close to Falls Creak Falls and the Wind River. Bathrooms were clean and the camp was quiet. Also, no issue with bugs. Would have been nice if the Forest Service would have opened up a couple more water spickets.
@TaraA9228987 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #11
I love the grounds! Been there 3x's, but this last visit was a bit unpleasant and lacked peace and quiet. Way too many kids and car alarms going off at odd hours. People were really loud after 10pm. Felt like I was in the city! 😒
@DebbyW6859741 · Camped on Jun 5, 2022 at Campsite #17
We go here every year and this year they didn't have the water turned on so it was a royal pain to have to haul in our own water. It was something about staffing issues and delays on getting the water tested. Of course they did get it turned on after we left but it was still a bummer. Let's hope they have their act together next year. Besides the water issue, camping was still fun.

This is a small campground. Sounds easily carrying across the campground.

This campground is rather rustic, with mostly vault toilets and few water spigots. There were beautiful tall trees and ample shade.

Beaver Campground is my favorite, it's small, secluded and quiet. Each site has space and trees/bushes around it so you're not looking at other people or vehicles. The Wind River is peaceful, it's so nice to sit next to and unwind.

I will go back. It was 105.1 degrees the first day and 101.7 the second day. The third day I left. What I liked is that the sites seemed to be farther apart than in most camp sites. The pad I was on was level. I was camping on a very hot day, 105.1 degrees. Some sites were empty because people didn't show up and some left. However, no one ran generators and the people that were there were quiet so it was very peaceful. What I didn't like is that my site was a little over grown. It had to be careful backing in to keep from hitting branches that needed to be trimmed back. Other sites were not so bad. Another thing that could be better is to have garbage cans around the camp. Right now there are only the huge bins at the entrance/exit of the camp. Normally it wouldn't have been a big deal but walking a over a quarter mile when it was very hot was not good.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
