This is a gorgeous park-like RV campground situated between the trees of the arboretum. NO TENTS, please. Also we have NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. Beautiful view of the mountains and forests here in western Washington. We are close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier and several lakes.
There are walking trails all around the site. The 12 acre campground is located on a 136 acre property that is an active Christmas tree farm. Trails continue throughout the tree farm.
Many trails have a view of the Tilton River, which can be reached via a challenging 3/4 mile trail. Sites are on 12 acres planted with many different species of trees that are about 30 years old. Giant Redwoods, Cedars, and Maples are just a few of the varieties present. Part of the farm is still a working Christmas tree farm.
The trails are wide and grassy. The old logging road that we use as a trail to the river has an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the Tilton river at the end of the trail.
There is an ART GALLERY where you can see the host's artwork and purchase a piece if you wish. Originals and prints are both available. This is upstairs through the check-in entry area lobby. Tilton River Studio Gallery.
Three sites have electrical hookups. Every site has a water spigot (use a pressure regulator if you want to hook up). No restrooms or sewer hookups. Garbage disposal site (dumpster) available Memorial Day to Labor Day.
We look forward to hosting you!

This property offers tranquility, with occasional visits from deer, coyote, owls, rabbits, and eagles. River access is just a short distance away, providing opportunities for fishing, sunbathing, or floating along the Cowlitz River.
Just follow the pink flagging from our "Black Tail River Trail" sign at the south end of the grounds along the mowed path into the woods to the river. Approx 750' from the sign.
*please note: Rivers by nature change. Every year the beach here changes due to the dam's releasing water in the winter/spring and also weather related flooding. Sometimes our beach is large, some years it's small. Access to beach changes as well. There is a steep decline to the beach in 2026, but the beach is much larger this year than last!
Conveniently located near the towns of Kelso and Longview, and only 2.7 miles from Castle Rock. A day trip to Mt St Helens is very possible.
Two full hookup sites are available, two water/power sites, along with ample dry camping areas. We have a porta potty as well.
Horses are welcome on the property, we are looking at building a corral in the near future. We also welcome leashed/penned and friendly pets. Dogs can be off leash at the river only, but be courteous and aware of other dogs. Please clean up after your animals!
Cell phone coverage is good here, we do not have wifi available.
We offer firewood for sale (cash) and allow propane fire pits in our gravel fire pits during burn bans. We follow the Cowlitz County ban, July 15-Sept 30.
We also have a community fire pit for our dry campers (or large groups) called the Lave Pit, directly across from our dry camp area. It's located in the middle of the loop.
Motorized off-road vehicles are allowed for transport of gear to/from the river and also for those with mobile disabilities or difficulties. We ask that you are respectful of the trails and drive slowly.
Please note: we will no longer refund due to poor weather. Hipcamp offers insurance for this.
No fireworks allowed.
*During Independence day celebrations, our neighbors usually participate with fireworks though. Be aware it can be loud.

We have a 1/2 acre property on the Cowlitz River in the middle of Cooks Ferry Park in Castle Rock WA. We bought the property to relax in a beautiful setting close to home. We only live 15 minutes away.
The property is made up of dredge spoils from when Mt. Saint Helens blew and is inside of a park where people can go to fish and enjoy the river. There are only 8 lots privately owned and we are the first lot that you come to.
There is plenty of room for an RV. Guests can also tent camp or stay in our shack that has a sleeper sofa. There are snacks, a sign in book, an axe, briquets, a fire extinguisher, and other items the shack. There is a picnic table, fire pit, BBQ, and wood stove. There is a porta potty on the property.
We value your privacy. We do have cameras on the property that are on when no one is there. Once a Hipcamper arrives at the property, they are turned off. We also keep our travel trailer there to enjoy when we can. We will never be there camping when you are there. In the summer, we sometimes kayak. We put in upriver and get out at the property. If it is booked at that time, we will always check first to see if it is okay for us to get out there.
If you continue going past our property, there are some nice rock beaches with pretty views. People fish there and wade in the water in the summer.
Castle Rock is a cute little town with some nice shops, restaurants and bars. I recommend checking it out!
We are not picky about check in/check out time. It would only matter if someone else was checking in the day you are checking out. Please ask if you expect to arrive earlier or want to check out later.
If your plans change, please cancel through Hipcamp to get a refund.

Please read the description in its entirety. Requesting a booking assumes all guests will read and follow camp rules.
There is only one campsite on this property, insuring privacy and solitude during your stay. The setting is most private, the river lovely. This setting is wonderful for a quiet family getaway in the woods; it is not 'party' appropriate.
The Coweeman River runs clean and pristine. Though only 3' to 4' deep, it provides a refreshing dip on a warm summer's day. It can be used for washing and bathing and could be filtered/treated to make it potable.
A locked cabin has a large covered porch overlooking the River that is available for campers, complete with chairs and picnic table. Note: railing is fragile and drop potentially fatal, so no leaning on railing.
Well mannered, non-digging dogs are welcome (maximum 2) as long as their responsible owners clean up after them.
The camp has a pit toilet and we are asking guests to extend its life by only putting poop and pee in it. Please burn your TP or take it out with your trash.
There is a fire ring and a tub of firewood available (and refillable) on site for $10. Payment for the woodcutter is through Venmo when you return to the electronic world. Firestarter/kindling complimentary if minimally used. If you bring your own wood keep maximum length to 20" to keep fire/ash within ring. There is a picnic table and chairs at the fire ring.
Trash cans are provided. Please remove your trash.
Don't forget to bring drinking water, toilet paper, headlamp/flashlight, roasting sticks for them s'mores, water shoes and tromping shoes. The closest store for supplies is 11 miles (20ish minutes) down Rose Valley Road, a small country market with basics, and fuel.
There driveway is steep but fine for 2 wheel drive vehicles (except when towing). When driving out, make sure gate is open before starting the climb out.. The driveway is steepest at the gate so please do not stop there as tire spinning will result.
The rules are listed below under During Your Trip by clicking on 'Host Rules'. By reserving this site the Booker, and all guests, agrees to abide by these rules.
Cell coverage is nonexistent/weak, depending on carrier. Please plan accordingly and enjoy your time away from digital distractions.
Enjoy!

A family favorite! This campsite is on the Coweeman River, 16 miles east of Interstate 5, on Rose Valley Rd, Kelso, WA. A pool deep/large enough for swimming makes it a wonderful summer retreat. Caution: wet rocks are as slick as ice!
There is only one site on this property so your party will have it to yourselves. A fire pit, with on site firewood available for purchase ($10/tub/30ish pieces), provides warmth after your dip in the cool water. Fire stater and kindling are complimentary if minimally used. A picnic table is under a newly constructed shelter.
The driveway terminates in a cul de sac; an area large enough for any vehicle to turn around. A small trailer (less than 20') is fine if you're talented getting it turned around or can unhitch and turned around by hand. Towing a trailer you'd need a 4 wheel drive to get it out of the steepish driveway. There is a large flat area for parking/tents plus a couple remote, dirt sites for tents.
There is no potable water onsite though the Coweeman River runs clear/clean and could be boiled/treated.
Non digging, well mannered dogs are allowed (2 maximum) provided their responsible owners clean up after them.
A new nifty outhouse has a great view! Only pee and poop go into the pit.
Rose Valley Road follows the Coweeman River, has little traffic, and may serve as a nice hike/bike up or down stream.

We are starting to form a habit of returning to The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West—this is our second visit. This time we stayed at the Cedars site, which is quietly secluded at the back of the property. Nestled among beautiful trees with mountain views and peaceful trails, we simply can’t think of a more relaxing place to spend the weekend.

We had a really nice stay at J Squared River Ranch. It was quiet and felt private, even though we could see some of the other campsites. The sites were spaced far enough apart that we never felt crowded.
There was some traffic noise, but for us that was a reasonable tradeoff for being closer to town, stores, and other conveniences. We also enjoyed walking down to the river and taking a walk along the water.
Overall, it was a peaceful and comfortable place to camp, and we would definitely stay here again.

This was our third stay at The Arboretum at Bear Canyon West, this time at the Red Site over Labor Day weekend, and we had another fantastic experience. Even with the campground nearly fully booked for the holiday weekend, everything was clean, peaceful, and extremely well maintained.
Terry once again made sure we were well stocked with firewood throughout our stay, and the care that he and Barb put into the property continues to show everywhere you look.
We’ve now stayed at different sites and have enjoyed each experience. At this point, it really doesn’t matter which site we’re able to reserve—we’re just happy to be there! This has quickly become one of our family’s favorite camping destinations, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again.
