Diane was a gracious host and her site felt very secluded and peaceful while still being within a good distance of much to do. Upon our arrival she provided us with a map of local hikes and recommendations in town for food and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return if we ever find ourselves in the area again!

The hosts were wonderful and the site was lovely, perfectly level and wooded just like it's named. They maintain a beautiful trail which made our daily dog walk delightful. We will definitely stay with them again and highly recommend this camp location.

Great site!
We had a relaxing time at Diane's property. The region is very pleasant, with several state parks nearby. This includes several trails and opportunities to explore and get in touch with nature. The trail across the street from the property is very convenient. There are 2 miles of forest, a beautiful and rustic trail, as we prefer. Some reviews have already highlighted the proximity to the street, it can get a little noisy, but nothing that affects the experience. Diane was very helpful, gave us all the information we needed and was always very responsive.

Tranquility
We enjoyed the Wooded Campers Delight as it was private with trees all around. Plenty of space to setup & loved that a wood burning firepit was provided. Diane also has a patio table with four chairs available for use. We were able to see a couple deer one morning just across the street. Diane also provided a map with available hikes. There is a hike across the street from her RV location and you are really out in the woods, it's a bit overgrown (not Diane's fault as it's not on her property) and there are weeds that have thorns on them so I suggest hiking pants. It was a great hike and beautiful with all the trees though. We also checked out Lewis & Clark State Park which was close by. Although we weren't impressed with the camping options at this state park, they do have multiple trails to choose from. There is a convenient store/gas station nearby. As other reviews have said, you are near the road but the trees block most of it. Not a lot of traffic, however what cars do drive by seem to drive fast. If you drive straight into the site you will need to reverse out of the driveway as there is one way in and out. I was worried about reversing out onto the highway and Diane did offer to assist us however it was pretty easy. Make sure you follow her directions on where to turn because if you follow the map you might not be able to make the turn into the driveway. Diane was friendly & helpful. I would recommend if you're looking for peace & tranquility.

Great Basecamp for Mt. St. Helens!
We spent three nights at Diane's property so that we could explore Mount Saint Helens and loved our stay. While the campsite is close to Diane's home, it is separated by vegetation and feels private. The area is very well maintained and we really appreciated the hookups!
We visited both the Windy Ridge Viewpoint (on the NE side of MSH) and Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center (on the NW side of the mountain) during our stay and would recommend both if you have the time.
Windy Ridge is about 2 hours from Diane's property and the drive is beautiful. After you turn off Scenic Byway 12 onto forest service roads, you are taken on a beautiful drive through forest that has been allowed to recover naturally after the 1980 eruption. You'll need to go slow on the forest service roads--they're bumpy! But the views of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount Hood from Windy Ridge were absolutely spectacular.
Heading to Coldwater Ridge takes you through forests that were replanted by Weyerhauser. You can make it to the National Forest visitor center in about an hour from Diane's property. But on your way, stop at Weyerhauser's Forest Learning Center on the way to Coldwater Ridge to learn more about the replanting effort. Unfortunately Mount Saint Helens was obscured by clouds on our visit, so I can't report on those views, but we still thought the drive was worth it and enjoyed comparing the replanted forest to the forest on the way to Windy Ridge.

A high class site, under trees.
The perfect mix and location for our plans in this sector of Washington State.
Diane’s place is around one hour from Mount Rainier and Mount Ste. Helens. As a great host, she guided us to other closer Trails and a river with cascades we could swin into.
With our prívate entrance directly to the rural Road, we even saw deers crossing it at sunrise.
What else could we wish for? Having a good laundromat at less then 10 minutes and Diane’s goats we enjoyed seeing each day, we loved it so much that we have extended our stay.
