The Cowlitz River Sandy Edge Campground is 30 acres of serenity and peace. A bird watchers dream place to be! lots of singing birds throughout the campground and the anglers delight with known fishing holes right off the banks. Enjoy the private campsite with ample space for family fun and cool quiet nights on the sandy edge of the Cowlitz River. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and a large trash can. All campsite will have their own pathway to the river with seasoned blackberries to pick! I ask to help keep our environment as natural as possible pick up after yourselves and your furry friends. Also do not leave personal items on the beach overnight we need to leave a natural environment and we are not responsible for missing or lost belongings. As we all know about bodies of water and to be as safe as possible around or near them and I advise life jackets especially for the little guys. The campground has no life guards so swim at your own risk waiving all liability from Cowlitz River Sandy Edge campground. Each site are allowed 7 campers and 2 vehicles.... $5 charge per day guests and $5 per guest vehicle. Apply that cost to campsite booking please.

River Alder

Camping at River Alder site at Angela’s campground was great! She was very clear with instructions and very friendly meeting us to show us where to go and providing us with firewood. The campsite had private access to river which was beautiful and the campsite was pretty secluded from other sites. There is a train that is nearby so can be loud at night, otherwise we enjoyed our stay!!

Father’s Day success!!!

This place is a dream! Such a breath of fresh air. Easy access from the freeway, the trails everywhere are well defined and easy to walk around all over the place, the trail to the water is wonderful and well maintained, the campsite was so clean, perfect for our family. The other campsites are spaced far enough apart you feel all alone! Each site has its own clean port a potty, which was really nice considering it wasn’t far away and being shared by everyone else. The owner of the property is really attentive, helpful, kind and generous! I will recommend this camp site to everyone and anyone!!!

River Run

Great place right next to the river. Available at the last minute when our other reservation got cancelled. Very appreciative! There was a live band across the river when we stayed which we really enjoyed. Looks like lots pf berries there soon!

River Alder

Peaceful by the river

My kiddo and I had a great time camping in the Alder campground. The river was really high and while our direct beach was flooded, Angela pointed us to another one we could use. We saw deer and geese as well as a ton of other birds. It was very relaxing and we appreciated the trash can in camp and bathrooms nearby. The firewood that we ordered was a bit wet but with some extra effort and drying the wood around the lot fire, we made it work. Will definitely be back
