RV camping near Chehalis

·

Legend has it that a mythical humanoid creature—covered in hair and standing 10 feet tall—inhabits the lush, old-growth rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. While campers may not spot Bigfoot during their outdoor adventures, there are countless chances to explore the forests and look for other local wildlife while RV camping in Chehalis, WA. Hiking opportunities and water activities abound in nearby Capitol State Forest, Rainbow Falls State Park, and Lake Sylvia State Park. Just over an hour southeast, Mount St. Helens towers above the landscape. Its amazing crater views, interpretive information centers, waterfalls, caves, and rugged hiking trails offer something for every camper. Catch a presentation on the history of the 110,000-acre National Volcanic Monument that opened after the infamous eruption in 1980. After a day in nature, park at one of the many local RV campsites offering full hookups for water, electricity, and sewer. Campervans, travel trailers, and big rigs can pull into back-in campsites that have picnic tables, potable water, and restrooms.

But wait, there’s more: a two-tent campground where we provide the tents, a shared, covered and fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a shared composting outhouse (cleaned at least once a day). Campground has access to shower and fire pit as well. Explore our forest trails leading to the serene wetland, and don't miss our unique 26-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall Woodhenge – a magical spot to relax in a hammock, read a book, or stargaze.

The property is spread over 16 acres and is comprised of two large fields (one in front of our home and the other is a smaller meadow off to the side (hidden meadow) and forest land. There is tons of space for playing, exploring and tiring out your kids and pups! Wildlife is abound with eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, shore birds and a variety of forest birds make this place their home. We are also frequented by the local deer who wonder through and say hi. About the campground: The campground is located in the far northeast corner of the property on the edge of the forest and meadow. In the common areas you will find the porta potty, shower and sink. There is also a supply closet that has the yard games and extra supplies. There is a hot tub situated right on the edge of the forest with peek-a-boo views of the inlet. You will also find garbage and recycling bins. There are trails throughout the forest along the 600 feet of water (tide) front. Along the trails you will find several different benches, seats and swings to relax and enjoy nature from. There are also fairies and gnomes who have been sighted in the forest. If you look closely, you might spot one too! We ware, if you touch a fairy or gnome they do lose their magical powers so please respect the mystical creatures. 😊 The sites are about 500 feet from our house and offer great privacy. You may see us throughout the day and evening coming and going from the campground, working on the property or playing with the kids on the trails!
