Killen Creek Campground Introduce
Located near Randle, Washington, Killen Creek Campground falls under the Campgrounds & RV Parks category and offers a natural camping experience with the soothing sounds of a nearby creek.
Environment: The campground is described as easy to find during daylight hours, and half of the campsites are situated within earshot of Killen Creek, providing a pleasant auditory backdrop. However, recent experiences, particularly around and after peak seasons like the 4th of July, indicate a significant presence of insects. While one reviewer noted a relatively empty campground on a Sunday night following the holiday, they also highlighted the remnants of previous campers. The overall environment is characterized by the creek's presence, but potential visitors should be prepared for insects.
Services: The provided information does not detail specific services or amenities available at Killen Creek Campground. However, the cleanliness of the campground was noted by one recent visitor, although they also mentioned the lingering signs of previous occupancy after a busy weekend.
Features: A key feature of Killen Creek Campground is the proximity of many sites to the creek, allowing campers to enjoy the natural soundscape. While one past experience indicated minimal bugs and a less crowded environment, more recent reviews highlight a significant issue with relentless and biting flies, along with mosquitoes that are particularly prevalent in the morning and evening. Standard insect repellents and other measures like campfire smoke reportedly had limited success in deterring these insects during peak times. It's worth noting that experiences can vary year to year regarding insect presence.

Customer Reviews
We stayed on a Sunday night after the 4th of July and there was no one there but definitely remnants of people from the weekend. Clean, easy to find (during daylight), and half the sites are within ear shot of the creek which is great to listen to. Must note: took a star away for the mosquitos. We sprayed head to toe, wore long pants and sleeves, and although it prevented most bites, it didn't prevent the swarm. We got in around 5pm and left around 8:30am and the situation was the same morning and night - maybe better luck mid day...
Last year I had a great experience at this campground. It wasn't crowded and the bugs were minimal. This year we went back because we liked it so much. This year there were relentless, obnoxious, biting, swarming flies, along with a handful of mosquitos. The mosquitos were limited to morning and evening and not so bad... but the flies started swarming around 830am and didn't stop until 8pm. Bug spray, campfire smoke, and everything else we tried would not dissuade them. Did I mention these flies were biters? If you weren't in full sprint, waving your arms around like a crazy person, you had at least 6 of these flies on you at all times, trying to bite you.
Still a little too much snow in mid June of 2021 but a nice remote campground near Mt Adams in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Very remote, large campsites! had a lot of mosquitos when we were there but there is a stream close by . No pottable water
Nice and quiet. Beautiful area with many hiking trails nearby.
