Cougar Rv Park & Campground

We stayed here as a base to climb Mt St Helens. Owners were very friendly and even let us move over to a sight we liked better. We have a 43' fifth wheel and a bit tight but definitely manageable if you can drive your rig.

Stayed here for a long weekend and thought it was just ok. It's a handy location, right in Cougar, but it's not the most scenic campground. There are some trees, but also lots of gravel and dirt. There are a few bathrooms, but they smelled pretty rank and the stench wafted throughout the campground. There's wifi that comes and goes, and there's a basketball hoop for some entertainment. The sites each have a fit pit. My site was lacking a regular 120 v connection but we borrowed a cord. For more than $60 per night, I guess we just expected a bit nicer ambiance.

We've been coming here for years (see my older review) and every year they make great improvements. They've been filling in sites with gravel, adding nice fire pits, new sturdy picnic tables. They have a couple cabins. They have the nicest portapotties I've ever seen - like there is a flushing toilet and sink in them/ they also have showers and normal bathrooms. They have a little store. You can buy ice and firewood and a few other things. As I was standing there writing this, Steve (one of the owners) just offered us some bbq - they supposedly cooked a whole pig and have too much food. We love this place and Stacy and Steve so much!

We really enjoyed this park. The owners were amazingly helpful and kind, spots were very spacious. We will definitely be back!

After a bad experince with a nearby "resort" I came over and inquired if our group could stay here. Even though they were full and could not accommodate us they went way above and beyond checking all the nearby grounds for us to find one that would fit and even some suggestions of personal spots they recommend. Next time we will book here instead of the "resort". If thats how they treat non-paying guests I can only imagine how much better we will be treated.

NEW OWNERS! I want to start out by saying that the customer service we received at the Cougar RV Park and Campground was outstanding. Stacey and her husband went above and beyond to accommodate our group this week.

This amazing couple purchased the Cougar RV Park and Campground a few months ago and they are quickly turning it around from an extended stay park to a destination location! As of right now, not all of the spots are graveled, but they are working on getting that turned around. It can be a bit dirty, but you're camping so deal with it. They also want water and electricity at every site, even tent sites. After talking with Stacey and seeing how hard they were working over the 4 days we were there, I'm sure that by the time we come back in September it will be even better.

We happened upon the park after another park was incredibly rude to us. We had just traveled 2 hours and thought we were going to have to go home. Distraught, we tried this place. Thinking that it was only an extended stay park, we thought we were SOL. Then... Stacey to the rescue! It only took them a few minutes to get us to a place where we could park our trailers (2 families) and our boat and be side by side. AND, it was HALF the price of the other park. That other park better beware. They aren't the only show in town anymore.

I'm giving Cougar RV Park and Campground 4 stars because I want to amend my review in September when we see all the changes. Great job guys! We are rooting for you!

I stayed here for 1 night in a full hookup spot this summer. The park manager/owner is so sweet and the grounds are lovely. There are quite a few permanent or semi permanent residents but it doesn't take away from anything. It's right on Lewis river road so there's a bit of traffic noise during the day but was quiet at night. In case anyone is wondering, there were no "racist" flags that I saw. But the people who live and stay here definitely display that they enjoy their American freedoms. I don't see a problem with that. Apparently this park can get pretty full for hunting season until November so plan ahead if wanting to stay longer term. I would definitely stay again!

This park just keeps getting better!! We have stayed in the cabins a handful of times, and with each visit we see more improvements! Additional hooks to hang items inside, better heaters for chilly evenings, lots of new gravel to help with drainage and puddles during heavy rains. There is now a very minimal charge for the showers (25 cents for 5 minutes) but definitely worth it for a steamy hot shower and clean facilities! The newest "barn" cabin offers additional space, extra comfy beds and a microwave. We love the direction Steve and Stacey are going with their dream and can't wait to go back and see the next improvements!

Great place to camp. Well maintained. New owner Stacy and her husband are so kind and accommodating. We will be returning for the second time next week and looking forward to it. Great customer service!

We stayed in one of their cabins for a night prior to hiking Mt. St. Helens. It was clean and quiet. The owners were very accommodating with time of arrival, we came in late. The price was affordable. The bathroom facilities were old but clean and maintained. The campground was clean. Our cabin had a nice little sitting area and campfire pit. I would definitely recommend this campground and stay again.
