A favorite destination for my family and me. We've been back several times. This is not "hardcore camping" but a nice state campground with good amenities and a nice river you can play in. Dog friendly as long as you keep the leashed. 🙂👍

Nice place to camp, quiet, shady, lots of trees. Access to the river is difficult, there are no formal paths to the water that don't require climbing down a dirt & rock embankment. Not ADA accessible to the river.

High marks for beauty, historic locale. No visual privacy at camp sites. A couple nice walks available without having to drive to the other side of the river. Very shady. For early season camping that made it chillier than expected and lots of low-hanging smoke on cloudy day. Restrooms a little underwhelming. 47 camping spots and a group camp going on - the little buildings got a heavy workout. Like all Washington state parks, a Discover pass is required. People were courteous. I enjoyed a walking tour of Chehalis before driving to this park.

Stopped to stretch our legs. The day use area has a meadow with fire pits. The bathroom is clean, heated and has soap. The trail to see above the falls is super easy. The water looks like a great swim. We watched kayakers go over the falls. The campground was nice.

It’s always an adventure when we come here. They offer camp sites and also camp sites with your horse. I highly do not recommend drinking any water from here. The water has a very bad smell to it. At first I thought it was the hand soap nope it was the water. I wouldn’t even allow my dog to drink the water from here. It’s always a good idea to have filtered water or water bottles. We enjoyed our walk here and also the Willapa Hills Trails go on and on. They also have bike trails and hiking trails.

What a beautiful park this is! MY husband and I came here and walked on both sides of the river. The path along the river is about a mile long and the one across the street has multiple paths and varied distances. We walked the longest routes all the way around the entire site. The air is pristine and filled with the sound of the many little waterfalls along the way. This is a great place for anyone who wants a nice clean park for walks and picnics. Also, the bathrooms were very clean and spacious!

Looked like a pleasant campground. The bathroom/shower building was clean. The campsites looked level and spacious. We will be making a trip back to camp in the near future.

Rainbow Falls, seems to imply a water fall. When we arrived the ranger was very nice. I asked her about how big the waterfalls was. She replied it is more like a cascade. I then asked does it have a rainbow and she said sometimes. So we paid $10 for day access pass. Drove and parked, walked a short distance an could hear the water running. We went down a steep, wet & Rocky embankment. There it was, the water running, cascade as mentioned and no rainbow. It was still beautiful and the trees are awesome. Just not sure how the park got its name.
