Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

Naked Falls is the second largest waterfall on the Washougal River. This section of the river has been a hotspot for Kayakers and Cliff divers for decades. If you like watching Salmon run, this is a great place to do it. This is easy car access to a raw outdoor camping experience. You will be camping next to the crystal clear Washougal River and have access to Naked Falls and Reeder Falls. Come prepared as the nearest potable water source is at least a mile away and you won't see any lights or electrical outlets on the property. There are portables toilet now between sites 4 and 5 on the east side of the road and between sites 15 and 16 on the west side. Portable toilets taken out in Mid October and put back in in Mid March. Firewood is not delivered to each site if you order it. There are many good reasons for this, not the least of which is that it can rain and then all the wood gets wet. We keep the firewood in a small woodshed and give you instructions on where to find it and what the code is before you check in. Also, please remember that I don't live there and there is limited service on the property. If you have questions, please contact me in advance as I may be unreachable when you arrive at the property. The Campsites mostly go in the order they appear as you drive through the campground. With some exceptions. Sites 8 and 11 (in that order) are up the hill from the fork at site 2. Sites 12 through 19 are in order on the West side of the river. There are signs with the site numbers next to each site. The sites each have their own parking spaces. Please see the brief descriptions below so you have a good idea of what kind of experience you can expect at each site. If you are not familiar with the area, or even if you haven't camped there before, I recommend contacting me for directions or information about the area before you go up. Also, if you have an RV, you will want to contact me to discuss which site you really want to book depending on the size of your RV, awnings, slide outs, etc. Each booked site is allowed 2 cars or 1 RV. If you have more than 2 cars or 1 RV, there is a fee of 10.00 per additional vehicle. Camping was banned all along the upper Washougal River in 2006 due to abuse from the public. An attitude that no one could be trusted up there formed and I lost my favorite place to camp in the whole world...but I understood why they did it. In 2017 I bought the property and worked with Skamania County to restore camping and the public trust in good people who love nature. There are now 20 campsites, mostly along the river, and I'm so pleased that the vast majority of Hipcampers are reliable co-stewards of this amazing recreational resource. It is up to us to keep Naked Falls available by keeping in mind that it is a crucial fish and wildlife habitat and we are but visitors there. Be sure to stick to trails and pack in/pack out. Nothing from town should be left there and nothing there should be brought back to town. *** Site 1: Saltness Creek This is the only site with direct trail access to the river on the camping side. It's also right on a creek and encompasses a corner of the confluence of the creek and the Washougal River. It's a nice open space right off the gravel road which allows you to park right by where you will set up tents and have your campfire. It also means other campers will drive right by your site and they will need to pass by it to take the trail to the river. This site is very convenient but not very private. Site 2: Naked Falls There is a short narrow trail that leads to the campsite on the Naked Falls cliff. It's awesome! This is the original campsite at Naked Falls and has likely been there for 100 years or more. It overlooks the waterfall and island downstream. It's really the coolest campsite but it's not for everybody. The area for pitching tents is smaller than at the other sites. Only 2 medium sized tents will fit comfortably. You may be able to cram 3 tents in but should be aware that it's only really meant for 2. Groups larger than 6 may want to consider another site. Also, it is right on the cliff where people like to jump so, while you have the best view of all the fun stuff happening at the falls, you also have cliff divers coming up to say hi during the day. Site 3: Desk Job This site is just past the falls. It has a wide short trail to the camping area and a beautiful view of the river that passes right by the site about 30 ft below it. It is nice, quiet and secluded. Site 4: Middle Management This site is nice for pulling vehicles in and around. It loops around some trees in the center. The trees to the east and North are all alders so it has limited shade in the morning when there aren't leaves on the trees (winter and early spring) The trail down is wide and short. There is a small opening with a nice view of the river and it's quiet. A great place to listen to the flow of the river and the beat of your heart. Site 5: Conference Room The Conference Room is tucked into the woods a little more than the other sites. It's right over the river just like all the rest of the sites but the trees like living on that cliff...like a whole bunch. You can walk to the edge and see the river but it's not the most open view of the river. I love this site. It has two old growth stumps from the first harvest ever at Naked Falls. They tell stories of the Yacolt burn and a lot of hard winters. A short narrow trail get's you from your car to to the camping area in about 20 steps. Site 6: Printer Jam This site is quite large and has the most extensive view of the river. Great for bigger groups or bigger tents. This is a chill spot where you can roast marshmallows while watching the flow of the Washougal River 35 ft below. Site 7: Budget Meeting This site is not meant for vehicle traffic! Please do not drive your vehicle onto the site as that has caused damage to the site itself and it needs to recover. The last site on the road has the longest walk...about 50 yards. It is also a large space and is the most secluded. It's the longest distance from river access but also the most private. The walk down passes an old growth tree that must have fallen decades ago. It has a huge base and the root structure is about 12 ft tall. There are a variety of trees that hug this campsite. If you don't mind the walk, you are sure to dig the vibe at our version of a Budget Meeting. Site 8: The Slash Pile Please read this full description before booking. I'm giving this site a go because I think it's a rather unique experience for the right people. This site sits up above all the river sites. It is not on a river but has a river view and view of all the other campsites. It is surrounded by a slash pile which is the wood debris left over from logging. You can drive right to it but only if you have 4wd/AWD. The road is also surrounded by alder trees that might slap the side of your car as you go up so if you are concerned about that, this is not the spot for you. There is not much shade up there either. You may want to bring a shade tent. The site is fairly large and has plenty of room for tents but I don't recommend any trailers or RVs here due to the steep rocky road. Your walk to the river will be about as long as the walk from site 7. It will be an easy walk down and a bit of a trek up. If no one books this site, I will totally understand but It's a cool spot if you are cool with the challenges it presents. Site 9: Hard Scramble Creek This site is embedded in the woods and has the most tree cover. It is even further from the river access than site 8...about a half mile walk. There is plenty of room but only one way in and out so turning around should be thought out before you set up your tents. Also, I've seen people pull off trailering large rigs up there but I'm pretty sure it was painstaking. If you have a large RV or Trailer, I would skip this site. Smaller trailers and RVs should be fine if you have some experience and patience. This site is quiet and the sound of the creek is soothing during the day and night. Site 10: Rock Beach Woods This site is in the woods along the river near an inviting rock beach that flows into a crystal clear swimming hole. This site is not behind a gate and day use visitors are allowed to use the trail and access the rock beach. The rock beach gets less traffic than we have right by Naked Falls but it is part of the day use area. This is a park and walk site. Parking is along the main road and you hike in about 50 yards to the campsite. This is one of the coolest campsites we have. Literally cooler as it is along the river edge and not along a cliffside like most of the other sites. Also cooler because it is under deep tree cover with soft mossy terrain. If you like the sounds of the river, shady woods and very close access to swimming, you will love this site! Site 11: This One Goes to Eleven! Situated on the top of the hill, this site has the most impressive views of all the sites! About a 270 degree view of the surrounding mountain region give you a great vantage point that often includes eagles flying below you, elk across the valley and a variety of other wildlife. This site is the farthest from the river, civilization and all the other campsites. If you are looking for something remote and have a 4wd/AWD vehicle, this might be the best site for you. Sites 12-19: All of these sites are right near the West side of the river. They were designed to accommodate RVs and Trailers. They are made for one trailer or RV per site or 2 camper vans. Tents are fine here too. There is easy in and out access to each site. It is nearer to the W2000 road and the sites are a bit closer together. There is still a significant amount of treed space between each site, just not as much as the original campsites. They each have a fire pit and cleared space for tents along with the graveled area for parking your RV. The sites are fairly level but not perfect and some leveling may be required depending on the size of your RV. This area has it's own trail down to the river or you can use the day use trail just a short walk North past the wooden Naked Falls sign. There are 3 total vehicles allowed at each of these sites (no exceptions) that includes the rv or trailer. So, truck and trailer count as one and you can have one addition car...or you can have 3 cars if you are car or tent camping. There is a charge of 10.00 extra for the third vehicle. No parking is allowed along the W2000 road unless you have a Naked Falls parking pass for day use. Site 0. This is the old site 12 that I had closed down. It is just up the hill from the fork at site 2. So at the fork near site 2, you will take a left and go up the hill about a quarter of a mile. It will be on your right hand side before you get to site 8. This is a large site part way up a hill surrounded by trees about 15 ft high. Very little shade, so you will want to bring a shade tent in the Summertime.

Some folks love having the site and they park their RV in the parking area. That's fine but if you have a trailer in the Summer, you need to contact me to discuss first to get approval. Trailers are not normally allowed there at all. You can drive or walk to the portable toilet between sites 4 and 5. This is one of the coolest campsites we have.

Mission Critical: This site is the closest site to Naked Falls. Your access is just a short walk to the steps at the main day use trail. It sits high above the river and well into the trees. Lots of shade for these hot Summer days. It has a big fire pit and plenty of space for tents. You'll park just off the main W-2000 road and have about a 25 yard walk in to the tent area. This is a cozy site...very new and a bit raw due to just being prepped. If you want to be close to the falls and enjoy solitude in the woods, this is a great option for you!

Site 12 is the farthest from Naked Falls of the sites that are on the West side of the river. There is a trail to to the confluence of a creek and the Washougal River but it does not yet have a good trail down for river access. Access is at the day use trail just past the wooden Naked Falls sign about half a mile up the road. Plenty of folks just walk but if you want to park in the day use areas, just buy and print a day use parking pass at nakedfalls.com or buy one at the Washougal River Mercantile for the days you want to park in day use. During the hot Summer months, you may want the day use access for convenience, outside of the busy season, it isn't as much of a factor.

There are 3 total vehicles allowed at each of these sites (no exceptions) that includes the rv or trailer. So, truck and trailer count as one and you can have one addition car...or you can have 3 cars if you are car or tent camping. There is a charge of 10.00 extra for the third vehicle.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 25 ft

Site 0 is large and surrounded by trees about 20 ft tall. Still very little shade there. Pretty Mountain views. It's about a quarter mile from the river so not a terribly long walk but it's uphill getting back from the river. Very private site. Recommend a shade tent especially in the Summer. You can drive or walk to the portable toilets between sites 4 and 5. During the Summer, there is a closer portable toilet just 50 yards up the hill by site 8.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 50 ft

Sites 12-19: All of these sites are right near the West side of the river. They were designed to accommodate RVs and Trailers. They are made for one trailer or RV per site or 2 camper vans. Tents are fine here too. There is easy in and out access to each site. It is nearer to the W2000 road and the sites are a bit closer together. There is still a significant amount of treed space between each site, just not as much as the original campsites. They each have a fire pit and cleared space for tents along with the graveled area for parking your RV. The sites are fairly level but not perfect and some leveling may be required depending on the size of your RV.

Cabin · Sleeps 6 · 1 bedroom · 3 beds · 1 toilet

This is the cabin I built with a good friend of mine. It's totally off grid and has been exclusively for my own personal use the last 8 years. I'm opening it up to others this season to see how it goes. It has running water through water catchment but only to the kitchen sink...no shower. Solar provides electricity but must be turned off at night. It sits on a full acre next to Saltness Creek. Great creek access and just a short walk to Naked Falls. You're thinking...this seems like a pretty good deal, there must be a catch...aannd...there is. The cabin is intentionally set on a hill where it can't easily be driven to. It's about a 35 yard walk uphill to the cabin. Not terrible but you probably want to pack light if you aren't down for taking several trips up the hill. This is a cool cabin built with our bare hands. It's in the woods and there are birds, deer, chipmunks, eagles and other animal friends all around. It has a cool firepit, axe throwing block and a weird toilet...so you know it's good. Oh about the toilet...it's a composting toilet...read the instructions and you'll be fine...easy to operate. If you're not a fan, you are welcome to use the portable toilets down the road.

Site 9: Camper van or tents

The campsite was incredible. The location was quiet and serene with the sound of the creek subtly in the background. The restrooms were well maintained and the firewood bundle I ordered was awaiting us at the site. The falls were easy to access via a short drive or lovely walk. Looking forward to going back.

We wished we have booked the camping spot for longer. It was great. Tucked away and private, and private access to the river. This spot has quickly become one of our top camping spots and we can’t wait to come back. Super family friendly and peaceful.

One of the most beautiful camping sites I've been to. You're fully off the grid and it allows you to connect with nature in more intentional and meaningful ways. Being able to fall asleep listening to the falls was the best part. Highly recommend!

Hidden Gem on our PNW trip!! Had a blast swimming in the falls before heading to Multnomah and Mt Hood. Site 5 was very private and serene. We enjoyed watching the chipmunks play and a deer strolled right into our site. Beautiful wildflowers about too. Very clean. 11.5/10!! This is our fav accommodation so far.

Site 3: Camper Van/Small RV Ok

Steppen's land is a dream location. The spread out camp sites, river access, falls, safety of the locked gate due to high public use were all amazing!!! I had SUCH a wonderful time solo camping here and enjoying the serene privacy and accessibility of such a great spot on the river. I jumped in the gorge under bridge on one night with the whole area to myself, sat on the creek above the river access for hours in my own private area and then also enjoyed the more popular areas as well. I will be back with friends and family!

Perfect Group Camping Option!

Tent · With pets ·

Site 1: RV or Tents

Absolutely one of the best group camping experiences I ever had! We had the opportunity to meet and chat with the host during our stay which was a delight! The site was a perfect size for our group of 6 (and we had still so much more room for more in the future!). 'Twas a busy weekend with crowds since it being in the high 80's, but despite the crowds (from day-pass goers), our camping experience still felt private and not overcrowded. Highly recommend ! We will def make this a yearly tradition for us!

My second time here, stayed @ site 20... Was great! Very private camping with parking, so don't need a parking pass. Campsite shaded looking over river, with short trail down to river. Very roomy. Next time might consider bringing a little wagon to take camping gear to trail, just more trips to walk a little 15 ft in. Very relaxing, with picnic table & fire ring. Thank you Steve!

Site 11: van or tents needs 4wd

This place is incredible!! The views are beautiful and it's so secluded!!! If you're worried you won't be able to get to the river, don't worry, they provide a parking space for camp site #11 only right in front of the gate. The drive up to the campsite was exciting and stunning (you absolutely need AWD). This is a place you go and reconnect with your soul. Its like you're flying above the cascades....

Site 7 Pros, Mids, and Cons

Tent · Group trip ·

Site 7: Small van/Tents Only

Overall everyone really enjoyed camping here! PROS - site 7 had a portapotty right nearby (in the parking area that’s a 30 second walk from the campsite) and it was serviced recently when we got there. At the end of the trip (3 days later) it started looking notably worse but there’s a chart inside that shows how regularly they clean it - site 7 is separated from the main road as well as other campsites, giving privacy - very pretty and fun! Both the campsite and river MIDS - there’s firewood on site that you can prepurchase which is good, but it’s not prebundled, and each bundle costs $10. It’s hard to guess how much wood a “bundle” is and we worried about taking too much/too little - the walk to the water isn’t too long, but if you’re gonna bring stuff to the river it’d be better to drive down the road with all your stuff, unload it at the trail head, then drive back and walk CONS - not allowing 2 people to park in the site 7 area doesn’t make sense. 3 cars could fit and that ended up being another $20+ in parking passes and extra work. It felt like a money grab rather than something reasonable - river access is either through the edge of site 1’s campsite or a longer walk across the bridge. Feels like poor planning/layout CONCLUSION Almost everyone said they’d love to come back for the river experience, but the higher costs turned a couple of our group away. Next time, we’ll buy the firewood ourselves and might try to find a closer but secluded site

Site 8: Van or Tents needs 4wd

GORGEOUS area, the river is so so beautiful, vast and there are many places to swim. They have designated parking spots closer to the water for hip-campers to make it less of a hassle getting down there from your site (especially if you’re numbers 0, 8 or 11. I highly recommend, but do remember to bring plenty of water and firewood as it is a haul in-haul out style campground. But if you forget, there is a convenient store/gas station about 8 miles in the direction you come from.

Site 9: Camper van or tents

We stayed at lot 9 and it was isolated and perfect! You could fit so many tents if you wanted, it was clean and so quiet. The ports potty is a bit far so we bought a camp toilet tent and toilet which was the best idea ever! So close to the naked falls day use area! The store was easy to find to purchase the day pass that was $15. I will definitely be coming back I have nothing negative to say. They did such a great job with this campsite. Super easy!
