The campground offers a quiet, private family camping experience with 28 sites, including single sites, double sites, and a group site. Located just 12 miles north of Carson, Washington, it's one of the closest Forest Service campgrounds to the Columbia River Gorge and Portland, Oregon. The Wind River provides excellent fishing opportunities for Chinook salmon and steelhead trout, while kayaking and canoeing are permitted on the river. The campground is located very near the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Wind River Hatchery, where visitors can view spring Chinook salmon. The surrounding forest offers abundant hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding opportunities, as well as seasonal berry picking. On-site amenities include playground equipment and horseshoe pits for family entertainment. The campground sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation in a diverse landscape that includes old growth and second growth forests.
