"All sites look nice but we probably get one of the nicest, just next to the river(#46)."
"While there make sure to stop in Roslyn, WA and have a beverage at the Brick. Roslyn, WA is where Northern exposure was shot."
"There are walk in (50 to 100 feet walk) sites as well as horse camping sites. Pit toilets are clean, don’t smell, and have TP. Road in campground is in good condition with pretty new gravel."
"I was able to come stay here in the fall, and hike Lake Ingalls. It was absolutely gorgeous! Hands down the best decision my friends and I have made. The campground was actually somewhat busy."
$38 - $270 / night
"Easy to pop into Cle Elem or surrounding area to explore. I needed an Eastern Washington fix so I really enjoyed it."
"The site was In a good place, just a walk away from the river. We did have like 2 hornets make their way into our tent. I used the showers behind the dog park, which had 2 shower stalls."
"Last minute we decided to take the camper van out of the smoke in Western Washington. We gave this campsite a shot after seeing it on The Dyrt and SUCCESS!"

"Once you arrive in the zone most of the camps are located along either Howson Creek, Little Salmon la Sac River or the backside of Lake Cle Elum. "

"Although the Camp Ground and facilities are great at Tinkham, my advice would be to get into your lifted Off-Roader and hit the mountain roads for this camping trip of a lifetime!"
"It is a small Forest Service campground next to the south fork of the Snoqualmie river. The site well shaded and fairly privet for the most part."
$22 - $43 / night
"Lake access is best via the great boat launch. Also a nice picnic area when the lake level exposes the access road."
"There is also a bear cage with a trap since the bear seems to linger and wander around (although it isn't aggressive and seems friendly). There is no water and the toilet is a honey bucket."
TravelerHard to find the turnoff 410. Tiny dirt road leads to the river. Spots are close to each other. No T-Mobile service.
GuideBeautiful, clean campground. Short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing. 10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding. Great cell service if you have TMobile. Clean bathrooms and free showers. Friendly camp hosts.
ScoutOver 4 miles of poorly maintained gravel road, but with a nice forest patch at three end. One fireplace - check if fire ban is active!
ScoutPicked something quick and close to Leavenworth. KOA was over double the price and this spot has full amenities. It is located next to the main road, but it gets quieter (not fully though) at night. The owner/ Host Linda was incredibly friendly and helpful. 30 series spots for drive in had the most privacy away from the front of camp.
TravelerCan get a spot right on the river it does get a little packed during the weekend so get there early only down side right by a paved road with semis and honking cars
GuideThere are not just a ton of choices if you are visiting Leavenworth. We got here around 9pm and there were still 3-4 sites available. Sites were paved and somewhat flat. Velvet buck was eating next to our class c the next morning.
TravelerWe have stayed a few times at Silver Springs and its one of our all time favorite . Recently stayed at site 13 and almost no one else was nearby.
Most of the sites are larger than average and mostly separated from the other sites.
There are two main loops (both close to the highway) and one dead-end loop on the southern side really close to the river.
The close access to several hiking trailheads, the White River itself, Goat Falls trailhead (almost no parking there), Crystal Mtn Ski Resort (open in the summer for Gondola rides to the top of the ridge with amazing 360 degree views and a restaurant (check for last seating times)), Sunrise Mt. Rainier entrance, and the rest of Chinook Pass, and close drives to Enumclaw, makes this a fantastic no service campground (public bathrooms with sinks on each loop).
There is a slightly hidden trail through the middle of the northern loop that we accidentally discovered this trip - it has a large group campfire / picnic area that would is not for camping but for day/evening use for a larger group with several picnic tables and cooking spots with a nice short and beautiful walk along the small creek inside the camp loop.
TravelerWe stayed in Site 11 for 2 nights at the end of June 2025.
The campground is located on the side of HWY 12 on a small rocky peninsula, this surprising spot on Rimrock Lake (reservoir created by the dams built about 100 years ago) is run by a retired couple for the last 5 years (as of summer 2025).
It offers a boat launch, 25 or so sites of mixed services (ranging from full hookup [elect/water/sewer] to basic site with picnic table and firepit), and a couple of cabins, and a bath-house on the east side (2 separate restrooms with shower stalls).
The sites are mostly back in, with a few (like site 11) that are pull-through.
The western side sites (1 - 17?) have beautiful views, but the typical afternoon/evening wind can be quite, well, windy, while the eastern side is sheltered from the wind. We hiked around the small peninsula and the wind disappeared.
The small office has a few snacks and camping items but isn't open all the time - only when the owner couple is around.
If you are going to go hiking, you only need to drive a few miles west on Hwy 12 to find several other public campgrounds and some nice scenery, while continuing west up towards the pass and ski resort area on Hwy 12 has several scenic viewpoints that you should plan to stop at for a few minutes each (Lava Falls, etc).
The lake itself is rather sparsely used (one or two boats or a jet ski way off in the distance). We had three very friendly chipmunks who visited our site often and were happy to sit on the old stump and join our camp.
GuideReview: July 2025
The park hosts are fabulous and informative. Getting a reservation is a bit tricky but once you do it is worth the hassle.
Blue hole is breathtaking and just 30 min. from Mt. Rainier National Park.
