Humptulips Valley river camp

Great spot on the river, next time we are bringing paddleboards.

Overall, it was great! We stayed next to the river and it was beautiful! Our host was also very welcoming and made sure to check up on us every day!
I only had a few issues:
First, the campsite is on the border of public land, so we had some questionable people walk past our site/partying near by, and some cars driving very fast on the beach 15 feet away from our tent on our campsite, which was worrisome because we had our small dog with us.
Second, the open-air toilet was right next to another site, so we couldn’t really use the bathroom while other people were camping because they could clearly see the bathroom.
Besides that, it was great! Very nice host, close to great hiking spots, and the river was beautiful! We saw a lot of wild life including river otters!

Don was a great host and the site was perfect for our large group.

Don was a great host and was super helpful throughout our stay. The site was perfect for our group for the weekend and the location on the river can't be beat. We'd be happy to come back again any time.

Great host

Great escape with exactly what we were looking for. Camping spot has a nice secluded, flat, and shady space to setup your tent and a few chairs around the ring. This would be great for groups or family. Water is nearby with shallow and deeper areas for swimming and fishing. We had fun skipping rocks and watching fish jump. The morning and afternoon you hear nothing but birds singing and the evening is filled w crickets and frogs. We loved it. Do the environment a favor, and bring a bag to help pick up trash from public lands nearby. The site itself was clean and well groomed.

What an amazing place to stay! It was serene - quiet and peaceful and beautiful! We had the place to ourselves and truly felt one with nature. We heard only the amazing sounds of nature - silence, stars, fish jumping in the river - TRUE peace and quiet! Don, our host, was as pleasant as could be and even brought us firewood when he found out we didn't have any. He even offered us his tent! I highly recommend this place if you want an amazing experience!

Camping near the river was a truly unique experience. Donald was very accommodating. It’s an excellent place to enjoy a fire near the water in the evening, and if you have a license, you can fish there as well.

Although the campsite is up against public land (the river bed), it’s tucked away enough to where you won’t be bothered by anyone. Make sure you keep your dogs on leash, because the forest is dense and hard to travel through aside from the roads. If you enjoy camping (and don’t need a shower or indoor bathroom), you’ll love staying here.
