Bill and Irene Flowers purchased Camp Kalama RV Park in the 1980's when it was little more than an oak tree grove, dirt sites and a lone fishing cabin. They spent the next 30 plus years tirelessly upgrading the Camp Ground, nearly doubling its size, to the beautiful vacation destination it is now. They added modern bathroom facilities, laundry facilities, a cafe, two playgrounds and a general store.
Camp Kalama RV Park is a 15 acre camp ground set on a bend in the Kalama River, which feeds into the Columbia River. We have full hookup sites, partial hookup sites mostly located along the banks of the Kalama River and ample dry tenting spots.
There are: three separate bathroom facilities, two playgrounds, a fish cleaning station, quarter operated showers and laundry facilities, the Fireside Cafe for home-style breakfasts and lunches, The Broken Rod Bottle Bar and a general store where fishing licences, supplies and basic food needs can be purchased.

Fishing on the Kalama and Columbia Rivers is year round. If you are wondering if the fish are running at any given time, just give us a call and we would be happy to advise. We can get you hooked up with a fishing license, supplies, a ride up the Kalama River to the best spots and even a local guide to make the best of your time on the river.
The Fireside Cafe is the oldest building on the property and was originally a fishing cabin (where Ernest Hemingway stayed when he fished the Kalama River). The original fireplace still stands and greets visitors as they enjoy their meals. The Fireside Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch. Please call for more details.

Poor customer service. We needed a spot and we work from our Rv. I asked how the reception was and they told me it was good. We arrived and we could not even make a phone call out and our booster could not get signal. I had paid over the phone and we didn't even stay. I tried calling and no one would pick up. I left voicemails and when someone did pick up they hung up on me. They charged my card and when I finally got a hold of someone days later they said too bad your card was charged their are no refunds. When I was never told that. Save your money never come here.

The staff was nice, the restrooms were clean and fully stocked. The camp sites are very close together making it so that you have to have your camp fire in front or behind your trailer or motor home, as there isn't enough room between your campsite and the next for more than a picnic table. The river along side the camp had a very small beach and a fish cleaning station, as well as a play ground for the kids. Over half the out houses that were posted up randomly at the camp had caution tape around them. I felt that with the three actual restrooms that these outhouses were unnecessary. Along

Lots of highway noise. Don't go there when the fish are going up river . People walking through you camp constantly . Don't get a spot along the river because someone else will be in it fishing . They let the public into fish for $12.00 and are not responsible for damage that the public does to your rv or your vehicle . From fishing weights hitting your windshield . Nice office staff

The owner is extremely unprofessional and the space I was assigned for my 28ft trailer was significantly unsafe. It sloped towards the river so badly that I couldn't even put my rear stabilizers down properly. When I raised a concern they didn't care and proceeded to tell me I parked in the space too early and demanded the prior days rental. When I said I intended to voice my concerns about the space and how they do business online, they proceeded to refuse service. Sure this place is cheap, but you get what you pay for and they nickel and dime you for what is ultimately poor accommodations

Found this place while driving down I 5. Lady in the office was really nice, we were using a tent and found a spot easily and close to the river. The area is nice, lots of wild black berry bushes which my son loved. The tent sites are not maintained very well, by maintained I mean cleaned between campers. Nothing major just empty water bottle and a few food wrappers. We picked up the few items laying about. While we were setting up someone from the office started riding a big lawn mower around the grounds. There is no grass, it's all dead, so the only thing this accomplished was a lot of

PROS-The people in the office are friendly, The campers kept to themselves and had smiles, No barking dogs, The 2 children's play areas were sufficient, and there were sites available.
CONS-The sites aren't well maintained or looked over before renting out. We had flys from a pile of feces at our site left by the last campers. When I called the office they were gracious about the problem and said they would send someone over to clean it up. They never did show up meanwhile the smell and flys was getting worse. You try keeping your 2 year old from a portion of your site. The children

This is a "rustic" campground. Lots of "monthly" campers. Everyone is very nice and even gave us fishing tips. Some full hookups. No concrete pads. The grass is nice and helps keep it cool. Lots of freeway noise but you can get far enough away to make it tolerable. On the Kamala River. They were also one of the few campgrounds that would take our German Shepherd. Washington now includes them on their dangerous breeds list. We would stay here again.
