Welcome to the Muddy Camper, your comprehensive guide to camping in Oregon and Washington. The Muddy Camper was created to provide as much information as possible about camping in the Pacific Northwest. While still in the early stages of development, it is our goal to make Muddy Camper much more than just an informative camping website. We would like to encourage user interaction and create an all in one location to find as much information as possible about camping in the Pacific Northwest. Please feel free to share your experiences camping in both the individual campsite’s comments section and on our camping forum. Thanks for Visiting!
