Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a forested riverbank at 673 feet elevation, where mixed hardwoods and conifers shade small sites within steps of the water. The Two Hearted River flows quietly past, its banks providing direct access for fishing and a carry-in boat launch for paddlers. During fall, the hardwood canopy turns brilliant shades of orange and red, peaking in late September through October. The surrounding state forest remains largely undeveloped, creating a genuinely secluded feel.

Anglers targeting fall salmon or spring steelhead will find the river right outside their tent. Pack all your supplies, arrive Thursday or Friday to beat weekend crowds at these seven sites, and bring a tent or small trailer only.

Skip if

The rough access road, a sometimes-rough vault toilet, and a stiff hand pump are the whole amenity package. Anyone needing hookups, cell signal, or a guaranteed site will leave frustrated.
