Campground: Soda Spring

Soda Spring Campground is a small, rustic site located at the end of Forest Road 4510.052 in a stand of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and silver fir. There are 7 sites suitable for tent camping, pickup campers, or smaller trailers. Sites have moderate screening and are not crowded. There is one old-style double vault toilet and an information board. All sites have tables and fire rings with grill feature. This campground tends to be lightly used and quiet, with only minor local traffic. The access route is moderately steep single lane with occasional pullouts. Larger trailers are not recommended. 

Summit Creek is nearby but not visible from the campground, and there are a number of dispersed sites along the creek in the area. Local attraction is a small soda spring, which is the site of an old bottling facility. No structures remain. 

The Soda Spring Trailhead is located in the campground, providing access to the Cowlitz Trail #44, which enters the William O. Douglas Wilderness. 

Horses are prohibited in the campground; equestrians, please use the nearby Soda Spring Horse Trailhead.
