Windy Point Campground

Fishing and hiking enthusiasts will find direct access to the Tieton River at this Forest Service campground in the Snoqualmie National Forest. The 15 sites accommodate both tents and RVs up to 42 feet, with water and sewer hookups available for those who need them. Sites 4 and 6 offer the only direct river views, with site 4 providing what campers describe as a more spacious layout and private beach area.

The campground sits right off the highway, creating occasional road noise that competes with the sound of the fast-moving river. A waterfall cascades directly across from some campsites, and the river runs wide with shallow areas near the shoreline where children can play safely. Cassandra C. found the "bathrooms were clean and stocked" during her visit. Sites are positioned fairly close together, though the river's volume tends to mask sounds from neighboring campers.

The campground operates from mid-May through late September, charging $22 per night for sites with basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits. Cell service remains available for those who need connectivity. Water from the campground spigot may appear cloudy, prompting some campers to boil it before drinking. The area experiences desert-like heat during summer months, making the cold, fast-moving river particularly appealing for cooling off.

Guests commonly noted beautiful river and waterfall views with spacious sites. Multiple campers commented on road noise from the nearby highway, though river sounds provide some masking. Restroom conditions appear to have improved over time.

Perfect weekend site

Easy to find, easily accessible in low clearance 2wd vehicle. Found a spot on a beautiful July Saturday night after visiting Mount Rainier. Cute river flowing through. Not good for big rigs. Was $22 for a tent site in July 2025. No water. Toilet paper in the pit toilet.

Pretty river and waterfall camping

We stayed here a few days in July and loved it! The river is so beautiful with the waterfall cascading down into the river directly across from the campsite. There is a shallow part near the shoreline where the kids had a great time playing in the river. The river itself is wide and very fast moving. The campsite we stayed in was fairly close to the next one, but we were camping with friends in the next one so it was fine. But be aware, some campsites are very close together. There is some road noise, but mostly you just hear the river.

Easy camping

I was in space 9 with a view of a waterfall. That was pretty great. It was late June and unseasonably hot. The river was extremely cold and running fast due to the snow melt so I didn't spend time in the water. The water in the hose wasn't clear so I wouldn't use it for drinking without boiling but the 🚻 are clean and stocked. I enjoyed my time there and recommend it for a peaceful camping experience.

Perfect for first timers

I wanted to introduce my boyfriend and his dog to camping and make sure they liked it. This place was perfect. Beautiful scenery (spots 4 and 6 were the only ones with river views). 

Spot 4 is very spacious, with a more private beach area. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. This campground is right off the highway, so you do hear ocasional road noise. The river is pretty loud though. Bugs were not bad and had no issues with critters trying to check you out at night. The spot is windy, but didn’t have too much of an issue getting the fire going. Other campsites were occupied, but didn’t really see or hear them. I still had plenty of internet, so didn’t feel too disconnected. Overall, it was a great spot for introducing someone to camping.

Okay campground, good hiking

First time visiting this side of Washington, and the weather definitely disappoint. It was pretty dang hot here in the summer, more of a desert type of feel. We were super worried about rattlesnakes because we heard this part of Washignton has tons during the summer, but luckily we didn't see any. It rained the last day we were here, which was a nice change of weather. The hiking was great, so much beautiful greenery and trees! The campground was "okay." It wasn't really that well kept, a little dirty and no toilet paper in the gross porta-potty style toilet. The toilet area smelt SO bad! It was like it hadn't been clean in a really long time. The campground is fairly small, probably 15 sites? The sites are pretty close together, luckily there was only about 5 other families there when we were there. I wouldn't come back to this campground, but would probably come back to the area to do more hiking. Maybe not in the summer, though, more like the fall.
