If you want/expect people to pay to camp here then clean restrooms need to be provided & maintained. It was so disgusting I couldn't even use it to pee.

Easy to get to. Just far enough off the road to not hear the traffic. Nicely maintained, with easy walk-in camping spots and well-kept trails. Great spot to dip your toes into tent camping. No running water or RV spots.

A nice secluded campground with only 6 sites but it's tent only which doesn't make sense since 2 of them could be easily trailer accessible (our old RV was smaller than a truck that was parked there). There was also a ton of trash when we got there that we picked up before we were rudely kicked out. Other than that it is in a beautiful area

Five uniquely beautiful campsites situated 20 feet above the creek. Says “walk-in” camping, but the parking area is a literal stone’s-throw away. Enough room to park & turn around w/our 19’ Airstream. We came in early September at night through a smoke & wind storm...ended up parking just outside the entrance to the campground for free. There was tons of room (more than just a pull-out), probably 20 cars could park there. T Mobile cell service was about 2 bars - good enough to send emails.

Gnat Creek was listed as "Knotts Creek" on the 1976 U.S. Geological Survey's Cathlamet 15-minute topographic map. In 1986 the U.S. Board of Geographic Names made "Gnat Creek" the official name.

How many campsites and how crowded is it? I have 3 dogs and we just wanna get away from it all and relax.

This is a fee area for overnight stays. There is no State pass requirement. The camps' spots are butted up to the creek.

Drive up pick out your site and put your camp fee in an envelope and put it in the metal box. There is a camp host if you have any questions. Great fishing right below camp. While you're there check out the 2 fish hatcheries that are close by. A must see if you camp here!!!
