About this campground

Paved road to the camp. Originally conceived as a drop off point for RVs there is a large paved parking lot with lots of room for RVs. Visitors can then continue on Road 99 to view the east side of Mount St. Helens.  In the winter this area becomes a snow park. It has a small shelter and toilet.
