About this campground
Tucked away on the pristine banks of the Lewis River, Twin Falls Campground offers an intimate escape into Washington's wilderness. This charming tent-only retreat features five secluded walk-in sites, each embraced by towering alpine forest that filters sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. Where Twin Falls Creek meets the Lewis River, the gentle symphony of flowing water creates nature's perfect soundtrack for your camping adventure.
The campground is exclusively for tent campers and is in the process of transitioning to a group camping site. It is ideal for those seeking a remote and rustic outdoor experience.
Weather and SeasonsTwin Falls transforms with the seasons, offering distinct experiences throughout the year. Summer welcomes visitors with balmy temperatures reaching 78-80°F during peak weeks, accompanied by crystalline skies and minimal rainfall—perfect for hiking and waterfall exploration. As autumn arrives, the forest erupts in golden hues while temperatures gradually cool. Winter brings a dramatic transformation, with temperatures plummeting to 25°F and snow blanketing the landscape in pristine white. During these colder months, prepare for limited daylight and cloud-covered skies that create an ethereal, misty atmosphere around the falls.
Natural Features and SceneryNature has crafted a masterpiece at Twin Falls, where crystalline waters cascade through ancient rock formations before joining the Lewis River in a spectacular confluence. The surrounding dense alpine forest creates a cathedral of evergreens, while steep trails wind through this verdant wonderland, rewarding adventurous souls with breathtaking vistas. Hidden within this wilderness gem lies an alpine lake of impossible beauty—its waters glow with an otherworldly teal blue that seems to capture the very essence of the mountain sky.
Geological RegionPositioned at the dramatic meeting point of Twin Falls Creek and the Lewis River, this campground serves as your gateway to a geological wonderland. The surrounding landscape showcases nature's artistry through cascading waterfalls, pristine alpine lakes, and ancient forests that climb steep mountainsides. This unique confluence creates a diverse ecosystem where rushing waters have carved their story into the bedrock over millennia.

Good to know
Trash and recyclingTrash and recycling facilities are limited. Visitors are encouraged to pack out more trash than they bring in, as littering has been noted as an issue. (Review by Andrew Barcus)
Proximity to water featuresThe campground is situated on the banks of the Lewis River and at the confluence with Twin Falls Creek, providing excellent access to water features and views of the falls.
Common complaints"Trash left behind by visitors" is a recurring issue, as noted in a user review: "The only real reason for giving it 4 stars instead of five is, it's an unkept camping site. Most, if not all of the fire pits are in bad shape and people leave behind lots of trash."
