NOTE: Forest Rt. 62 becomes Forest Rt. 6200, single-lane and
then gravel at 10.9 miles.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Elevation is 2,500 ft.
A single loop campground designed for equestrian campers, but all
are welcomed, is next to the Rock Creek Trailhead in a pleasant
mix of trees. White pine, Douglas fir, and willows offer ample
shade to sites. Hitching rails or high-line posts are provided
at most sites. There isn't much room for portable corrals.
Except for end-to-end parking aprons, privacy is good between
sites. This pack-it-in, pack-it-out campground has the
appearance of a delightful undiscovered location.

campground on left
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Elevation is 2,300 ft.
The campground stretches along the east bank of Cle Elum Lake.
This lake is used for irrigation so, as the summer progresses,
the lake recedes from the campground. A vast grass prairie
appears where the lake had been and provides a pleasant view of
the tall grass and surrounding mountains. Douglas fir provide
some shade. Two spurs branch off, and with no turn-arounds, are
recommended for tent campers.

DIRECTIONS:
From Ardenvoir, WA take Entiat River Rd west 27.3 miles into

NOTE: The last 4.3 miles are single-lane gravel roadway.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,000 ft.
The campground straddles Entiat River and has three separate
sections. The largest section is on the south side of the river
in a stand of Lodgepole pine and has several small (3 to 4 site)
spurs radiating off the interior road. The other two sections,
on the river's north bank, are clusters tucked in among Douglas
fir and White pine. Access to these clusters is just before the
campground's entrance - bear left at Cottonwood Ranger Station
sign. The campground is close to the Glacier Peak Wilderness
with most camp sites along the river. Although the campground
has a wilderness feel, vegetation is limited as is shade and
privacy. Bug spray is recommended.
This is bear country; practise safe food storage techniques.

RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Cliffdell, WA take State Rt. 410 east 2.8 miles to
campground on right.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,300 ft.
The campground, located on the west bank of the Naches River, has
two unnamed sections in a riparian environment. Cottonwood and
Ponderosa pine provide some shade and the thick middlestory
offers good privacy between sites. The section to left of fee
board, with its pull-throughs, is more RV-friendly. The right
hand section is closer to the river, has some nice sites for
tenters, and a turn around too tight for RVs to use. Traffic
noise can be distracting. Salmon watching in late August is a
possible campground activity.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and the historic Whistlin' Jack Restaurant for a cook's night out
and the adjacent General Store for what was forgotten (and try
the homemade donuts).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,100 ft.
This rustic campground has two unnamed sections on the west bank
of Bumping River. The section on right of entrance is a small
dead-end spur with walk-in tent sites near the water. The left
side section also has sites near the river but more are tucked
into the older stand of mixed conifers which include cedar and
White fir. Deciduous trees line the river's bank suggesting nice
fall color. The campsites have good separation but a lack of
vegetation provides only fair privacy. The left side section
also has the campground's wheelchair-friendly vault and handpump.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,700 ft.
The campground meanders through a sparse stand of mixed conifers
between Naches River and Crow Creek. This rough and rugged
campground is basically a developed trailhead for the numerous
OHV trails in the area. Sites are free-formed and can
accommodate multiple units. Only site 10 is on a dead end spur.
The majority of sites could be pull-through. With no understory
or middlestory, there is no privacy between sites. Douglas fir
and Jeffrey pine provide some shade.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and Whistin' Jack Restaurant & Lodge in Cliffdell for a cook's
night out and general store (and try the homemade donuts).

take Cabin Cr. Rd east to Seattle entrance of I-90. Proceed west
on I-90 and go 8.3 miles to Lake Kachess (exit 62). Take Exit 62
to stop sign. Turn right and go 5 miles to a "T" intersection.
Turn right into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,300 ft.
The campground is located at the north end of the beautiful
Kachess Lake just below Little Kachess Lake. When "full" the
lakes are linked but they hold water used for irrigation. The
level does drop considerably as the season progresses. Little
Kachess is set aside for canoe and kayak enthusiasts while Kachess
Lake is popular with power boaters. The campground has six loops
(Box Canyon, Mineral Creek, Lodge Creek, Thetis Creek, Beargrass
Flat and Gale Creek). Box Canyon and some of Gale Creek loops
are along the lake. Gale Creek, closest to boat ramp, is compact
with sites close together and little privacy. Beargrass loop has
the sunniest sites and most of the campground's pull-through
sites. Mineral Creek and Lodge Creek loops are adjacent to each
other and have only vault toilets. Thetis Creek loop was closed
due to hazard trees at time of author's visit and not included in
review. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) origin of the
campground can be felt in the compact design of the campground.
Most sites enjoy ample shade from the pleasant mix of conifers
including Douglas fir, hemlock, and cedar. This is a popular
campground that fills early.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,700 ft.
The campground is a large loop bisected by two small loops
through its center. These small loops (sites 13 through 15 and
42 through 45) are great for family or small group gatherings.
The campground's only flush toilet is located between these
clusters of sites. Long spacious pull-throughs are located in
the first half of the loop while the latter half has numerous
double and triple parking aprons. Jeffrey pine, Western larch
(Tamarack) and Douglas fir provide ample shade to the latter
half. The first half is more open and sunny. The Little Naches
River and a network of hiking and OHV trails are adjacent or near
the campground making it a good base camp for these activities.
There are no signs for this sweet campground on State Rt 410, so
it doesn't experience the crowds or noise found in many of the
area's other campgrounds.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and the historic Whistlin' Jack Restaurant for a cook's night out
and General Store (and try the homemade donuts).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,400 ft.
The campground has two distinctive sections above Entiat River.
One section is a long spur along the river where every site has a
view of water and surrounding mountains. This section is in an
open area, shaded by some Jeffrey pines. Separation rather than
vegetation provides good privacy to the sites in this section.
The second section is at the end of the campground's interior
road and loops through a dense stand of mixed conifers dominated
by Lodgepole pine. The thick vegetation provides excellent
privacy. The river can be heard, if not seen, throughout
campground. The campground is recommended for families looking
for a pleasant camping location with a variety of multi-use
trails. A possible day trip is the National
Recreation Trail.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,500 ft.
The campground, located near where the Little Naches and American
Rivers meet to form the Naches River, is a single loop in a stand
of mixed conifer including White and Douglas fir. Although only
a few sites overlook water, the sounds of the rivers can be heard
throughout the campground. The lack of understory results in
only fair privacy. During their spawning, salmon watching is
possible from the campground's shoreline. An OHV trail system is
located about 2.5 miles up Forest Rt. 19 from campground.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and the historic Whistlin' Jack Restaurant for a cook's night out
and General Store (and try the homemade donuts).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,600 ft.

The campground has two unnamed loops and a short spur along the
American River. Each loop starts in a stand of Lodgepole pine
and meanders back into a stand of larger mixed conifers including
Tamarack and Douglas fir. Only a few sites overlook the river.
Traffic noise and not the river can be heard throughout
campground. Privacy is minimal among Lodgepole pine but improves
to good among the old conifers. Salmon watching from some sites
is a popular campground activity in late August.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Cliffdell, WA, take State Rt. 410 west 7 miles to Bumping
Lake Recreation Area sign. Turn left at sign and go 11.2 miles
to campground sign. Turn right at sign and go 0.1 miles to
campground on right.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 3,400 ft.
The campground is located on the east shore of the man-made
Bumping Lake and surrounded by the William O. Douglas Wilderness.
It has two unnamed overlapping loops with lots of pull-throughs,
many of which can accommodate a couple of RVs. A couple sites
have a limited view of the lake and a handpump. Bumping Lake was
built over a natural lake in 1910 when the dam was built. Used
for irrigation, the lake's level drops as the summer progresses.
Lodgepole pine provide most of the limited shade but Tamarack,
White pine, and Douglas fir are beginning to appear. Spacing
rather than vegetation provides good to excellent privacy between
sites. One of two campgrounds in Bumping Lake Recreation Area,
the abundance of Lodgepole pine indicate this is the younger of
the two campgrounds.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,900 ft.
The campground has two sections leading to Lake Wenatchee State

the loop winds through a stand of Douglas fir while the spur
stretches along Nason Creek. The second section is sunny with
large pull-throughs along Nason Creek. The third section has two
loops, is the least RV-friendly, and has a rustic feel. This
section has the most shade while the other sections are more open
and sunnier. Vegetation is limited so privacy between sites is
poor to fair.

offer fair to good privacy. Many sites have a view and all are
within an easy walk of the Lake. Parking is above campsites in
three level areas carved out of the hillside. It can be a steep

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,800 ft.
The campground, located on the Chiwawa River, has two sections.
One section is for campers with horses and the other is for non-horse
campers. The equestrian section includes hi-line and larger parking
aprons. However no water for either stock or humans is available in
the campground. The campground, with its wilderness feel, is great
for equestrian and hikers wanting to experience the Glacier Peak
Wilderness. This pack-it-in, pack-it-out campground is remote and rustic.
Horse trailers should be sturdy for the trip.

miles to campground on both sides of the Icicle Creek and across
the bridge.
NOTE: Icicle Rd. becomes Forest Rt. 76, a dirt, single-lane road
with a washboard surface after 12.5 miles.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,800 ft.
This campground has five unnamed multiple site sections along
Icicle Creek. Two sections are on one side of the creek and the
remaining three sections are located on the opposite bank. The
campground has the feel of several developed dispersed areas.
The sections have limited to no turn around, making them a
challenge for some RVers. Recommend walking sections before
driving RV into any section. The sound of Icicle Creek, which is
more river than creek most of the season, can be heard throughout
campground. Understory and middlestory are limited so privacy is
minimal to fair. Conifers, including Douglas fir, provide some
shade. There is a swimming hole located behind one of the
campground's original campsites.
This is bear country; practise safe food storage techniques.

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
In Cle Elum, WA, at intersection of Oakes Ave and First St.
(State Rt. 903), take Oakes Ave/State Rt 903 north one block to
stop sign. Turn left onto State Rt. 903 north and go 18.8 miles
to campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,400 ft.
The campground, located where the Cle Elum and Cooper Rivers
meet, is a series of overlapping loops. Some intersections are
"teardrop" shaped and may be a challenge for large RVs. The
overlapping loops allow many sites to back up on one of the
rivers. Douglas fir, cedar, and other conifers provide ample
shade while vine maple and shrubs provide excellent privacy to
most sites. The tent sites (7-13) are on a dead-end with no turn
around.
For a little of the area's history, visit the three-story cabin,
built in 1913, that was to be the depot and office for Kittitas
Railway train. The railroad was never built and the cabin became
the Forest Service's District Office then a Guard Station.
Currently being renovated, the hope is to use the structure as an
information center.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,500 ft.
NOTE: Mt. Rainier National Park (Sunrise) is 46 miles from
campground.
The campground stretches between Naches River and State Rt. 410
in a stand of Douglas fir and Jeffrey pine and has two unnamed
sections. One section, next to the day use area, is nearest to
the river, closer to the highway, and appears well-suited to tent
and car campers. The other section stretches along the river but
the campsites are further from the water. This section can
accommodate both RVs and tent campers and the campground's
handpump is there. There is little privacy between sites and
traffic noise could be distracting. The campground is convenient
for overnight campers. There is a short 0.25-mile interpretive
trail across State Rt. 410 at Marther Memorial Parkway
Information Site.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and the historic Whistlin' Jack Restaurant for a cook's night out
and General Store (and try the homemade donuts).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,500 ft.
The campground has two loops (Upper and Lower). The Lower loop
was closed due to hazard trees at time of authors' visit - not
included in this survey. The Upper loop has a pleasant
wilderness feel with a variety of conifers, including White fir,
Douglas fir, and Jeffrey pine. This scenic campground along the
Entiat River, features a spectacular 150-foot waterfall, a
pleasant interpretive trail with observation decks over the
river, a large Group area (not included in this survey), well-
shaded sites, and fair to good privacy along with a peaceful
atmosphere. Mosquitoes can be a problem - bring repellent.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

Mt. Rainier National Park (Sunrise) is 46 miles from campground.
The campground, on the banks of Bumping River, has two unnamed
sections. One sections is at the Soda Springs trailhead and
offer nice wide parking aprons. The other section stretches
along the river with most sites adjacent to the water. A
pleasant mix of conifers provide ample shade while cottonwoods at
the river's edge suggest some fall color. With little or no
understory, privacy is only fair. Late August brings spawning
salmon up the river - an interesting activity.
Possible day trips are Mt. Rainier National Park, Boulder Cave,
and the historic Whistlin' Jack Restaurant for a cook's night out
and General Store (and try the homemade donuts).

DIRECTIONS:

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,700 ft.
The campground is located where the Chiwaukum Creek meets the
Wenatchee River and has six overlapping loops and a spur. There
are sites along the creek and river and they fill up before non-
waterfront sites. The campsites on waterfront are sunnier than
non-waterfront sites. A pleasant variety of vegetation from
China pine to cedar, maple to alder, and lots of berry bushes
provide excellent privacy between sites. The moist riparian
environment encourages dense vegetation and mosquitoes - bring
spray. Traffic noise can be distracting but the sounds of
flowing water do mask it. Since fishing is no longer permitted,
this large, pleasant campground is rarely full. Campground is a
good base camp for experiencing all nearby Leavenworth has to
offer and is a take-out point for whitewater enthusiasts - Do Not
try Wenatchee River below campground. A basketball court is
available near host sites. Firewood is available for a fee.
This is bear country; practise safe food storage technique.

DIRECTIONS:
In Cle Elum, WA, at intersection of Oakes Ave and First St.
(State Rt. 903), take Oakes Ave/State Rt 903 north one block to
stop sign. Turn left onto State Rt. 903 north and go 9.7 miles
to campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 2,300 ft.
This is a pleasant campground with a single large loop through a
stand of mixed conifers including Douglas and White fir. Most
sites enjoy dense shade and, with lots of space separating them,
good privacy. The overall feel of the campground is "pleasantly
woodsy." Not exactly on Cle Elum Lake, the water is nearby and a
short hike away. Lots of maple along interior road suggest good
fall color.
