Hey gang, got a group of 10-15 looking for a place to camp in the Mt St Helens area. Preferably something kinda secluded, and friendly, where we can stay up late and not have to worry about being too noisy. Let's just say we'd like to avoid any imperial (ranger) entanglements. Something with a bathroom would be nice but not a deal breaker.

Got people coming from Seattle & Portland, trying to keep the drive under 3 hrs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds fun. We went camping last weekend. Had a blast. I do not know that area all that well, so I cant suggest a spot. I will advise to watch the fire restrictions. It was very dry where we were, and I suspect that they will be cutting off recreational fires in the next few days. The campfire is a deal breaker for us. How the hell ya gonna cook your smores?

Yeah no fire is no bueno.

I usually go to Salmon la sac near/in Roslyn. Kinda far from where u want to go but we love it. No rangers, next to the lake, and we can be as loud as we want

Not at St. Helens, but just northwest of Adams instead.

One of my favorite secluded camp locales...
