Why Visit

Lewis and Clark State Park

Lewis and Clark State Park protects lowland forest along the I-5 corridor near Winlock. The current official brochure identifies 24 standard campsites and eight full-hookup back-in sites, for 32 vehicle campsites, plus separate hiker/biker and equestrian sites. Showers and drinking water are available. The official material does not publish a dependable park-wide RV length or list an RV trailer dump, so those details are omitted. The main campground closes for winter; the posted 2026–27 closure runs October 1 through May 1.

Insider Knowledge

Site recommendations from the field

Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.

🗺️

Sites 1–12 in the old-growth loop are among the most impressive in any WA state park — massive Douglas firs 200+ years old provide full canopy cover. Book these first. Sites 13–25 in the secondary loop are in younger forest and more open. No hookups are available. This small, beautiful park fills on summer weekends — arrive by Thursday. The old-growth trail loop is a must-do even if you're not camping.
