I grew up going here and it hasn't changed much, it's a really nice campground. There are different types of sites so you can kind of choose what your experience will be (some are more private, some are larger, some are walk-in). There are a few good swimming areas along the river, but it gets super crowded on hot weekends which is a bummer but is expected these days. There's a trail that goes from the campground and follows the river downstream for a long time. It's a really nice trail that I've walked dozens of times and leads to bridges, more swimming areas, all sorts of nature. The trail is currently closed off at the C loop entrance, but there's a sign with a map showing a way to go around. Only had one issue the last time I went which was that they don't sell firewood on certain days (wed-thu I think it was). Seems a little strange not to sell wood on Thursdays but I just drove down the road a mile to get some from the store which had better wood anyway.

We stayed up the Camp Creek road, in spot #1. What a fantastic campsite. The river is such a short, beautiful walk from the site we stayed at. Sites are very large, and ours had room for 5-6 tents AND our RV, with plenty of room to spare. The river nearby is great for kids, it runs slow and is a nice change from shallow to deep. Definitely glad we found this place!

Stayed at one of the paid sites, quite and beautiful. $5 per car, per night. Rangers stopped in daily and were super friendly. Fire pit, with grate and nice flat spots for tents.

I was there last week and if you are there before 1pm (check-out time) you should be able to find a spot. We needed two spots for our camping trip and were able to find them. Weekends do get busy so you might want to arrive earlier. Good luck and enjoy!

Any dispersed camping?

Seng | Aug 16, 2020
jessica spencer | Aug 16, 2020

There are sites scatered threw out there and the further you go back there are more spaced out sites. Not sure if the ones farther out are free anymore, but the last time i was out there, which was atleast 3 or 4 years ago, the farther ones out where free. The ones closer to the river you had to pay for.

Is this open in January? And is there a free spot to camp a night??

Is there a way to make reservations or is it only first come first serve??

Livi Love | Aug 16, 2020
Deja Souther | Aug 16, 2020

You can only reserve the group camp sites but they are usually reserved a year in advance. The rest are first come first serve. 12pm is when you're supposed to be packed up if you are not staying another night, so I'd say, show up around 1230 to get the pick of sites.

It's first come, first serve. Depends on time of arrival. If you're getting there early, great chance. Later in the day your chances go down.

Can you take a go kart? Or is there any place near to ride it?

EddMo Reyes | Aug 17, 2019
Erin Hardigree | Aug 17, 2019

I agree with Sandra⬆ Although if you brought it, you could tow it to Tillamook (about 30 mins) and maybe ride on the beach there..... However I'm not sure of beach/go kart rules.....

How do I go about paying if I show up at night?

Hannah McCracken | Aug 17, 2019
Erin Hardigree | Aug 17, 2019

There's a "kiosk" with info about the campground right near the entrance. There you can fill out the form and put your payment in the locked mailbox. Its a carbon paper form. The first sheet goes on a clip on the post outside your campsite and the second one goes with your payment.

Can we hunt like small game ?

Brandon Rodriguez | Aug 17, 2019
Erin Hardigree | Aug 17, 2019

Not with a firearm. Jones creek is a state park and its illegal to have a firearm in any state park (because its part of the federal government). However, if you're talking about trapping, then I'm not sure. But, since were taking about the government, I'm guessing the answer is still no. Sorry.

How many tents for site do they allowed

Alex Reyes | Aug 17, 2018
Shana Ryan | Aug 17, 2018

You'll have to check with the main campground, but the $5 first come first served, charges by the vehicle. We had 2 trailers and 3 tents, and paid $5 a night for each of the 4 vehicles we had.

Can you tell of which camp sites are 20 dollars a note when you get there

Alex Reyes | Aug 17, 2018
Shana Ryan | Aug 17, 2018

The sites when you pull into Jones creek, before any of the turn offs are $20 a night. You may have to reserve them through the forestry department. Or with Diamond Mill. Restrooms are close, but no showers. The $5 a night sites are first come first served, and you have to go look for them on the logging roads.

Do you need a good social # to camp

Alex Reyes | Aug 17, 2018
Perry George | Aug 17, 2018

If you have a federal discount pass the rangers will stop by to verify the pass number and that you are the authorized pass holder. They also do a good job of verifying accurate payment. Last time there I over paid by a day and they stopped by to have me pay the right amount so I didn't over pay. Good people up there.
