Went camping with my family last week. Awesome place. Only complaint is it’s really close to I-5 so it’s loud. When sleeping, you can hear passers on the interstate. Also, there is a raccoon problem. Our marshmallows and Graham crackers never stood a chance. Our site was in the shade and we loved it. Swimming spot a few minutes way. Sites are somewhat close to others but we still had our privacy. Showers were free the week we stayed which usually cost tokens (which you buy from the camp host). I highly recommend.

This park is nice, very good for RV camping and car camping. The site is maintained fairly well, and they had two rangers nearby all weekend. Bathrooms and showers nearby. Each site has a table and firepit. Lewis River is close by if you want to paddleboard, kayway, etc. This campsite is right next to the interstate, so unfortunately you'll hear traffic the whole time. The river was excellent to paddleboard on. Traffic in the river is moderate to heavy over the weekend and some people jetski there. The jetskis wouldnt be so bad, but they don't always slow down when passing others on the water, causing wake.

This is a great place little to spend the day. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Portland. It cost $10 for day use, and you can pay there or use your Discover Pass. There are campsites, day-use picnic benches and a couple of areas where you can access the water. Great for kayaking. There is a 2 mile loop trail that’s very nice and allows you to walk along the water. The trail is muddy and often not super well maintained. Dogs are welcome on leash.

Paradise point state park is a good stopping point for those traveling down I5 in RVs / campers. The sites are maintained... Decently. There were a few large bags of garbage off trails and my site had cigarette butts everywhere. As you pull into the campground you'll have a sharp right turn and a small lane next to the check-in station. Try not to block the entrance while you register / check-in as there is only a single lane to get through. When I arrived there was someone blocking the entrance. I simply didn't pull all the way up to prevent other guests already registered for having to wait. The freeway noise isn't terrible in campground area, yet it is there. The campground has river access and near the river is a nice Frisbee golf course. This area is super noisy from the freeway as it's located under the bridge on I-5. There are nice hiking trails that lead back into more seclusion. The best camping spots are tent camping in their walk-in sites. These have more privacy and would recommend for those that tent camp. The RV side is mediocre, half have power & water the other half is dry. No dump stations on each site, but there is one as you leave. I'm giving a 3 star review as the campground wasn't maintained as others and there was a strong presence of rangers / park staff driving through campground constantly. This to me shows lack of initiative or leadership in setting goals / things to do and they are simply checking a box driving around. I assume since this campground is right off I-5 a high presence is required to prevent crime / theft. There is a large field and an ampatheater that has power... But there wasn't a screen back anymore. Would have been fun to hook up a projector for a movie night if that was fixed. Not a hard or expensive fix, just hasn't been done. Beware of kids as there are alot of blind turns and kids playing meaning go slow (5mph speed limit). The RV sites are decent size but can be difficult to maneuver larger size RVs. I have a 26 ' travel trailer and I managed ok, but was a bit difficult backing into my specific site. Every site I saw had burnpits, yet I went during a burn ban (which is expected with the crazy heat wave we've had in the PNW lately). The bathrooms were decently clean, showers looked decent as well but I didn't use them. Ultimately if your just passing through with an RV it can be a great spot for a night or two. If your looking for a more camping feel you'll want one of the walk in sites, or simply find a different location.

Yes, but definitely plan ahead. On busy weekends the few tent only spots are often reserved months in advance.
Depends on if everybody got the spot before you. Under the NB/SB Freeway, at high noonish before and after but later sun would shine on. there are trees in the area of parking cars and early morning, for shade awhile.
Yes it is safe to swim in
Depending on which one you choose, may have a short walk. Bathrooms are closest to 72 and 73
Its deep and not much rapids very calm also very muddy
As long as your car displays a discover pass or a day use pass which is $11.50 per day. Ranger writes tickets for all cars without a camping pass or the discover/Day Use pass.
Yes just call let them know you'll be arriving early
10 dollars to park a car. But everything else is free. Except for camping overnight that is.
No wifi but phone signal was good
yeah you need a reservation.
Stay away! Full of homeless people and druggies. To close to the freeway
Call and ask a manager they can help you
Yes
It's $30 A day for camper and $10 extra for an extra vehicle. Max stay 10 days. Then 3 days off then another 10 days. No more then 20 days per month. Showers take tokens. 2 tokens per $1.00 each token gives you 3 minutes hot water.
Yes verizon Doe's work way out there forsure.
10 days at a time is the max then you have to leave for 3 days. But they have good showers, and nice walking trails.
They very but there reasonable you just might call them
All day
Have you considered contacting ur local DSHS office to get a list of shelters? There are emergency shelters for parents w/kids. If you need help finding resources, repost on this page and I'll try to see about connecting with you.
Yes, there is only the use of propane/gas grills.
Paradise has showers and you purchase tokens to use t hem.
Yes you can there are no gates. The office is closed but they have a drop box with envelopes for over night guest also there is a site host.
Not sure how well it would be since it is a slow moving river.
Walk up river, east of bridge. It might be dried up. Good luck!
Yes at the ranger station. But there is also a truck stop right as you get off the interstate, that also has local firewood for sale.
City of Kalama has fireworks on the fourth. Just 14 miles north on I5.
Fish kind of like a variety of things. Try different flys, spinners, or eggs.
Yes, the rangers are pretty cool there, they let us drive around.
They have regular sites that you can tent camp that start at $25 this time of year. The $12 sites are primitive and you have to walk into them.
Yes theres water in the winter
Full utility sites are $30-$40 per night depending pin the site until the end of October, then it drops down to $30 for all sites through winter. Partial utilities (no sewer, only water and electric) are about $5 less per night. Hope this helps!
Campfires can be okay or not okay depending on the fire danger level & that can change at any time. Best to ask there on the day/night you're planning to burn.
