Very quiet spot with excellent camp hosts there to meet you. Also, very helpful, as my van picked up a small rock in the brakes and was making a lot noise. The camp hosts had a 2 ton jack and help me remove the tire, find nd remove the rock. Vacation saved! Thank you.

We had an amazing time at Satsop campground. Nick amd Crystal were so friendly and helped us extend our stay. It's a small campground and the rv/full hookup sites are very close together so if you have slideouts I wouldn't recommend the FH sites but there are other site that will work. It's quiet and beautiful here. Lots of hiking trails and not far from Montesano and Aberdeen.

This is a quiet smaller campground with a diverse range of campsites. It is in a lovely wooded area, close to Lake Wynoochee and not too far from the coast or Lake Quinalt. Some of the campsites are walk in. The roads around it are so quiet they are like trails. There is a falls between 1-2 miles away that is beautiful and could be walked to, but no other trails with direct access, though plenty of hiking at the Coho Lake Campground on Lake Wynoochee. The hosts were helpful and tried hard to accomodate the needs of the campers. We found the RV sites awfully close together, since we were camping we moved to a different site, but they did have hookups.
