I have usually camped on Rose Valley Rd, don't know about other places other than some private places you can pay to camp but they maybe full by now.  Just don't camp behind any gates.  Good luck

Weyerhaeuser provides as many public access opportunities as possible, while ensuring a safe workplace for our

5. No smoking outside of vehicles.
6. No campfires at any time, even during hunting season.
7. Fireworks of any kind are prohibited.

Check the Cowlitz County website assessor's page and click on the GIS maps.  You can zoom in and identify the owner for each parcel.  It'll take a while, but you can find them.  There are probably several State property types that are public besides the ones that specifically say DNR.

Most of the descent state land camp sites are already taken. Groups will setup their camps as soon as the gates open and keep them up all season. Good luck

There is some state land up off headquarters road., but as stated most folks grab a spot on whatever available landing as soon as the gates open. Its probably still worth a look. Have you picked up a DNR land map and scouted the area?
