Our Take

What makes Oklahoma campground special

Oklahoma Campground is a quiet retreat set within a lush grove of western hemlock, red cedar, bigleaf maple, and Douglas fir along the banks of the Little White Salmon River in Washington's Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The name may conjure images of open plains, but this campground is pure Pacific Northwest, draped in moss and filtered light beneath a towering canopy that keeps things cool even on the warmest summer days. The riverside location makes it a natural choice for anglers and anyone who finds peace in the sound of moving water. The nearby Columbia River Gorge offers a full menu of recreation, from waterfall chasing and wildflower walks to world-renowned windsurfing at spots along the Columbia. The town of Carson is a short drive away, providing basic supplies and access to the Carson Hot Springs for a soak after a day on the trail. Sites here are relatively few, lending the campground an intimate, unhurried atmosphere. The season typically runs from late May through September, with July and August being the busiest months. Reserving ahead is wise for weekend visits during peak summer. For a campground that feels hidden away yet remains close to one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic landscapes, Oklahoma Campground strikes a fine balance between accessibility and wilderness solitude.
