Camping on River for Perseid Meteor Shower

Let's go camp out in the middle of nowhere to watch the Perseids meteor shower. We'll spend the days playing on the water, evenings cooking up around the campfire, and nights laying out under the dark skies watching the meteors. Perseids is the largest meteor shower of the year and can produce 50-100 meteors per hour!

Cost $50. First ones paid get the spot (not meetup RSVPs).

Daily Activities

• We can visit Mt. St. Helen's during the day and explore the visitor center and the volcano. (We'll be pretty close to it)
• We will also be in a location ideal for floating on the river. Floating gear rental is available.
• There is also an option to just swing in the hammock on the river and watch the world go by. There is a nice little swimming hole by our site.
• Coldwater Lake is 25 mins away for more on-water recreation
