Big Fir Campground & RV Park

We stayed over July 3-5 to escape the firework noise...nope. Maybe a bit quieter than in town, but not much. This is a very basic campground, pretty quiet and low-key. It's mostly RVs, and most of the 40 sites are booked year round for permanent residents. Reservations are mandatory. There's no tent camping at the moment, but there are tent sites and group sites. You have to use their presto logs for fire, no toilets either. It is very close in to Battle Ground and Ridgefield. minute drive from Vancouver. It's the closest campground besides Battle Ground Lake I've been to! Camp hosts are super nice and friendly.

This is the most gorgeous campsite I've ever been to in my life! The tall trees remind me of Muir Woods. It's like being in a forest. Every RV site has a picnic table and trashcan. Our picnic table was filthy even after sweeping, so we used tablecloths over the table and benches. We lucked out when we didn't make reservations far enough in advance. All other campsites in Vancouver and Portland area were booked and I left messages with several RV parks. Dan returned my call and reserved the last spot for us. I feel sad to leave because our future reservations aren't in as nice accommodations. We'll definitely return in the future. Caveat: there is no laundromat. Also, I learned from another camper (most likely a tent camper) that the showers didn't have hot water one morning and the office hadn't opened yet.

I have stayed here several times and just love it!!! The manager Dan and his family are wonderful people, the natural setting is so relaxing, and the campground is close to Ridgefield and Battle Ground with easy access to major roads.

I stayed a month. Worst RV Park I've ever been in and I'm a full-timer. Mud, mud, mud as the sites are not paved or on gravel. Manager is nasty. Called me a liar when I refused to purchase his heated hose for $150, saying I wouldn't attach my hose. It has no amenities and is way overpriced. Avoid at all costs.

Secluded amongst the huge trees. A little tight getting in and out with our 31 foot 5er. But totally doable. Water pressure was fairly low or it would be 5 stars for location and seclusion.
