This campground is an ideal location for group gatherings and camping. Nearby Wynoochee Lake provides opportunities for hiking along Wynoochee Lake Shore Trail #878, boating on the lake, and day use opportunities at Wynoochee Dam and Coho Campground at the lakeshore. There are no commercial services available at Wynoochee Lake. The water is very cold so be prepared. Other nearby hiking opportunities include Spoon Creek Falls, Maidenhair Falls and Church Creek Trail #871. Available campsites & amenities : 8 RV sites, 1 large group site, and 4 tent sites. Potable water, showers and toilets are available, as well as WiFi.
From Montesano, WA head north on the Wynoochee Valley Road (1 mile west of Montesano off Route 12). Drive 35 miles on the Wynoochee Valley Road (Forest Service Road 22) to a major intersection. Stay straight for 0.25 miles. Turn right onto Forest Service Road 23 and drive 1.7 miles. Turn left onto Forest Service Road 2372 and travel 0.5 miles to Satsop Center entrance.
Tal and company are so great and accommodating! Thanks for a great weekend! See you soon!
Looked nice, but the state website for reserving campsites is awful. There seemed to be showers available which I didn't go into since all of the 'first come first serve' spots were already taken by 9am.
Great place, and operator. Too bad it's shutting (no thanks to the Forest Service) down at the end of December 2023.
Great place and great people who run it. Only issues we had were months one night and a crazy amount of gnats the next that were attracted to bug spray. Next night had no bug issues so not sure why that was the case. But all in all a great place to camp!!
