This property is currently in development. It offers tranquility, with occasional visits from deer. 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: Every year the beach changes due to the dam's releasing water in the winter/spring and weather related flooding. Sometimes our beach is large or small. Access to beach changes as well. 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, as are leashed/penned and friendly pets. Dogs can be off leash at the river, 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 fire pits during burn bans. 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. We follow the Cowlitz County burn ban, July 15-Sept 30. Unless fire danger is high, at which point we still follow Cowlitz wood fire bans. Motorized off-road vehicles are allowed ONLY for transport of gear to/from the river or for those with mobile disabilities. 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 partake and it can be loud here.

Several dry camping sites. Our dry camp sites are intended for tents, tent trailers, tear drop trailers and over-the-cab style campers. Our dry camps sites are limited to trailers no more than 13' in length. This is a property in development. It's quiet, some deer come through, there is river access a short distance away with opportunities to fish, sun bathe or float the Cowlitz. Close to the towns of Kelso, Longview and only 2.7 miles from Castle Rock Only one dry camp site is graveled and has a fire pit and picnic table, named Coyote Cove. We offer a community fire pit across from the dry camping area that anyone can use. The rest of our dry camp sites are grassy areas amongst the trees, unmarked. We suggest bringing a folding table for food prep. We allow PROPANE fire pits (no wood fire pits please) when there is no fire ban. We have a Porta Potty for these guests. Our dry camp sites are first come, first choice
