Mt Adams Guler Trout Lake County Park

I went here with a group of 14 people plus a dog for 2 nights. You can reserve a group camp site here for $ 40 a night, which is a really good deal. Our campsite was very spacious, we probably could have put 4 more tents and still have room for a few more cars to park.
The site had a bonfire pit, 2 trash cans, a water pipe and 5 picnic tables. It was a good thing we brought our grills along so we had a separate area to prepare food while everyone else can hang around the bonfire to hang out or roast smores. There is a bathroom nearby and it was surprisingly clean! They stock the toilet paper and soap on a regular basis. There is a shower available but it will cost you $ 2 for 5 min (quarters only). Oh and beware, the first 10 seconds is super cold but it will heat up after that.
There are so many things to do outside of the park. Some of the activities you can do around here are fish at Trout Lake, go white water rafting with various companies (we went with Blue Sky Outfitters, review soon to come), hiking and so on. So there is something for everyone in your group to enjoy!
The park rangers here were very helpful as well. Upon arrival, we were greeted and had a quick run through on where to find the bathroom, rules and other helpful tips. She even helped us find a place to find tools to unlock our friend’s car since she left her keys in there. We did call AAA but they told us to call back at 11 pm… and our food was in that car, so we had no choice but to break in. Anyways, the park ranger kept checking up on us until we finally did and cheer. Hahaha yes that was a very interesting event.
Before you go and book your trip, here are some things to keep in mind:
* Google map your trip! There are points in the trip where you will be driving on a long stretch of road for a long period of time before you get to turn. By google mapping, you will have time estimations to show how long you have until your next turn.
* Leave early. Although google maps said it was a 4 hour drive from Seattle, it took us 5 plus hours to get there thanks to the traffic around the Tacoma Dome on I-​5. Also there are a few sharp turns around Trout Lake that don’t have lighting at night, which was pretty scary to drive through.
* Make sure someone in your group has AT&T!!! That is the only provider that has service out here. We got lucky that 2 of our friends had AT&T so it was easier for us when we made runs to get supplies.
I definitely would love to come back here for another camping trip!
**EDIT: I don’t know who changed the info for the park but the park is in Trout Lake, NOT Goldendale, WA.
