Southwest Washington Campgrounds

The southwestern section of Washington State is bordered on the south by the Columbia River, the east by the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range and the west by the Pacific Ocean.  The largest metropolitan area is Vancouver, a sleepy town of about 162,000 citizens.  Longview (36,638 people) is a port on the Columbia River for ocean going vessels and home to some very large pulp and paper mills.  Aberdeen (16,150 people) is both a fishing village and a lumber production area.  The Long Beach peninsula is touted as the longest natural beach in America at 28 miles in length.

Visitors to this area of Washington State are treated to city night life, river fishing, deep sea fishing, hunting, boating, beachcombing, and some of the best tent camping and RV camping found in the state.  The topography is generally flat to hilly with a few mountain peaks reaching 2000 to 3000 feet in height.

Popular RV campgrounds and tent camps are frequently filled to capacity from the spring to early fall.  During the winter months the climate is quite cool and rainy.  Summertime temperatures can occasionally reach 100° Fahrenheit.

The Free Guide To Northwest Camping is a free guide to both privately owned and publicly owned (state, county and federal government) campgrounds.  The editors of the Free Guide To Northwest Camping do not specifically endorse any of the campgrounds listed in this site.  Not every available campground is covered in this free camping guide.  Many of the privately owned and operated campgrounds do not allow tent camping.  If in doubt, call the campground first.

The authors of the Free Guide To Northwest Camping do not accept payment from any agency or private campground owners.  In this way we insure that every description in this free guide is unbiased.  Covered are campgrounds owned and operated by state and federal agencies, private RV campgrounds, RV parks, family campgrounds, and camping sites for both tent camping and all types of RV camping.  While free campgrounds are listed and described, pay per night campgrounds far outnumber the free sites.

Please use the email link above to notify the editors of the Free Guide To Northwest Camping of any errors or omissions.  New campgrounds are added weekly.
