The campground is on the Wilson River Trail and makes a good spot to start or end a ride as it is a good intermediate point along the trail with amenities such as toilets and water.

A single track trail that runs along its namesake and not far from the highway. However the trail runs through enough big dense forest that proximity to the highway does not diminish the experience. The trail has some big climbs and fast descents with significant exposure in places.

The Gales Creek Trail from the Gales Creek Trailhead and Campground area to its peak at Bell Camp Road offers a steady climb on great singletrack through a classic Pacific Coast forest. The climb is never too steep to be enjoyable except for maybe the last meters near the top. The return back to trailhead offers a fun and fast descent. Also, when the other MTB trails in the area are too wet to be enjoyable this trail is popular almost year-round as it drains well and dries out fast.

Clatsop State Forest is a working forest with a diverse mix of second-growth hemlock, Douglas-fir, and western red cedar.

It's the perfect destination for any outdoor enthusiast looking for adventure in this signature Pacific Northwest setting.

Bloom Lake is a crystal-clear little pond surrounded by beautiful vegetation and lots of wildlife. This serene pond is a haven for ducks, herons, and other waterfowl, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you might spot some salamanders and rough-skinned newts that call this place home.

Lost Lake is a scenic 15-acre lake nestled in the Clatsop State Forest, serving as the primary source of Lost Creek, a tributary of the Nehalem River.
