Spyleeia Creek runs through the property connecting Yale Lake and Lake Merwin. It's located on the edge of Gifford Pinchot Nation Park where you can hike to the summit of Mount St. Helens. It is also just a short drive from the famous Ape Caves in Fishing, kayaking, hiking, hunting, and sno-parks are within just a few miles. You're only an hour drive from Portland, and two and a half hours from Seattle, or make your way to the Pacific Coast in under two! Explore all that the Pacific North West has to offer.

We had a very nice stay. Our hosts keep a beautiful and clean campsite.

Lovely site but loud
Lexy and her family are awesome and kept the campsite clean and maintained. The site is beautiful, on a little creek amidst the trees. There was a fire ring, a bench, a hammock, and a toilet! Lexy provided access to potable water. The main downside is that the road and neighbors are not quiet. You never get to imagine you’re in the wilderness. But you still get to see the trees and stars and have a campfire. And there are fun outdoor activities nearby.

What a great spot!
Creek was queit but it was close to a semi busy road so there was some car noise at night, but it didn't bother us. I suggest renting the entire space if you would like creek access. We had neighbors who had the only point of access and they weren't nice enough to share, so our kiddos didn't get to play in it. Overall great stay! Make sure you pack light, the hill is a killer in the heat if you have lots of heavy gear.

Beautiful spot but primitive
The camp hosts were very nice and accommodating. There was a lot of space to spread out. You do have to hike your stuff down and up a short trail. It’s very close to Cougar for stores and restaurants and Ape Cave for a quick day trip. There is plenty of seating (not chairs) around the fire ring. There are no tables. There is a small portable potty inside a small tent and I nwas able to take a sponge bath in the creek wearing my swim suit and water shoes. They do supply well water from a hose at the top where you park. The traffic from the main road can be quite loud during the day but it’s fine at night.

Great Camp Site!
The site is adjacent to a nice cold creek that was great for a post hike soak. The site was well maintained and there are may great sites to see in the near vicinity.
