Great centrally located spot! We visited the fairgrounds in Puyallup and spent some time in Tacoma; both only 15-20 minutes away. The host was great, the spot pretty level, fenced entry easy to get in and out with the code provided.

We were a group of 3 families celebrating a birthday, and we had a fantastic time. The camp spot has gorgeous views, privacy and great river access. The porta potty was very clean, no unpleasant smells with hand sanitizer and TP. We enjoyed waking on the property, spotted 2 foxes and many cool birds, and floated on the river a couple of times. It is really dusty, but it's worth it anyway. We are already making plans to come back, great spot!

Tom’s land was serene, beautiful & we were visited by one of the resident owls. 🦉 Provided a clean out house and having water at the campsite was so helpful! It was a beautiful view from the blast as well. Tom was communicative and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! The spot is super close to the many different beaches, and we had the best time paddle boarding and watching all the local wildlife. Having power and water right at the site was such a nice bonus, it made things really easy and comfortable. Getting in with our little teardrop trailer was no problem at all, and the host was fantastic quick to respond and really helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Cowlitz River Rentals. It’s amazing, I really couldn’t recommend it more. We stayed at River Bar West, It has very easy access to the river. The sites are large and very private. Also the spacing between them is perfect, it almost felt like we were the only ones there! There were several port-a potties around the sites, and they were clean and serviced regularly. Hazelanna is such an amazing host! She is very kinda, communicative, and extremely helpful with whatever you may need. We are already planning our trip for next year and cannot wait to come back! Thank you! - A&H

Hazelanne was an exceptional host. I really appreciated that they came around multiple times to check in and even came by with a couple of floats for us to use the following day. The land is absolutely beautiful and it was a delight to lay in the field and watch the stars at night

We had such a great time camping here! The river was amazing and The views were incredible. There is just Something about a sunsetting in the mountains with cows in the meadows. Hazelanna was a fantastic host, holding it down like a boss. You can tell how hard the hosts work to keep it a clean and well- kept place. Hoping to come back next year!

Weekend Trip to Cowlitz River Rentals

I’m honestly surprised this spot has any availability—it feels like a hidden gem. It’s the perfect distance from Seattle: far enough to feel like you’re getting away, but still super accessible. There are a ton of sites, and each offers something a little different depending on what kind of camping experience you’re after. Our site had a picnic table and fire pit, which was a huge plus. The porta potty was clean and access to the water was easy. Floating was the highlight of our trip—we spent hours just drifting and soaking up the sun. Getting clean water was no issue either, which made things even easier. We loved every second and honestly would’ve stayed longer if we could’ve. Will definitely be back!
