Clean campground, excellent customer service and brilliant hospitality. We stopped by for a few days to celebrate the end of commercial gillnet season. Jeffrey was prompt, friendly and informative and made the check-in and camp store purchases of ice and fishing tackle a breeze. Lee was a kick in the pants and really gave the place the southern hospitality feel. He’s a great fishing guide as well, his boat is pristine and we highly recommend going to pull plugs with him; it’s the trip of a lifetime with a very experienced fishing guide. We’ll certainly be back for more! Highly recommended if you’re ever out this way.
Hadn't been here for a very long time. Still a grand spot to check out the Cowlitz River & the flow conditions.
Very friendly owners. Check-in was quick and easy. Our spot was perfect! Great selection at the little store they have, fire wood, ice, snacks, drinks! They even delivered our firewood to our campsite! Bathrooms were always stocked. Nice little playground for the kids, too. Great place to enjoy the outdoors without having to drive hours from home! No complaints!
Been a place I remember coming to for many years. Great Selection of drinks and small grocery items. And a HUGE selection of fishing gear. Crazy how much Tackle can be found in this little store. All the Salmon, Steelhead, Bass, Bluegill,+ can be found here. They also have a Campground if you want to stay. The Cowlitz River is 5 minute away.
Quiet, easy to find and we'll kept, the folks that run the grounds are pleasant and have a small shop on premises, would stay again for sure!
Best little fishing and beer shop in the area. I drove by this place who knows how many times, and never know they sold fishing stuff! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable. Worth stopping by!👍
Nice little place we always stop in every time we are in town. Lots of fishing gear. You can get a fishing license here. Friendly service. They have firewood and fixings for s'mores 😋.
