Cold Creek Campground

We didn't actually stay here, but came up to check out the campground for future stays. It is about 30 minutes from Vancouver. The campground was closed for the season when we stopped by, so we walked up the trail from the Day Use area to check it out. The sites are fairly large and private and all have picnic tables. About half of them look like they would be suitable for 20-25' rigs. There is one pull-through site that is quite large (#7). The pads are gravel or dirt and look somewhat level. The water available is at a hand pump in the Day Use area, which also has a pit toilet and lots of picnic tables next to the creek.

The area is around the campground is very beautiful and the Day Use area has access to a couple of trails nearby. The last couple of miles into the campground do not have paved roads, but seemed in pretty good condition overall.

The campground is close to the Yacolt Burn Trailhead area, and it is about 2 or 3 miles to the minimum security Larch Correction Facility. We could also hear a lot of gunfire from people target practicing in the woods or nearby Rifle Range, but it didn't sound super-close.
