Yellow Pine Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Rough road access and a location close to Highway 26 are the two things campers should know upfront about Yellow Pine Campground in Whitman National Forest. Sites are spacious, though heavy undergrowth has been reported at some spots, which can complicate tent setup. No pets are allowed. A reservoir roughly 10 minutes away gives anglers and boaters a nearby option. Those planning camping near Unity will find this campground lightly used, so arriving without a reservation is generally feasible, but bring your own water as on-site supply has been reported unreliable.

Unity camping

No water source. Very green. Spacious sites. Not overpopulated. Reservoir close by for fishing and boating. (10min drive)

Kinda creepy...

It had been about 25 years since I stayed at Yellow Pine Campground. Unfortunately, my memories did not match today's reality. Yellow Pine is a large campground that sits close to Highway 26. Today it looks like it is not often used. There was a lot of undergrowth that would have made setting up a tent difficult. As I drove through the empty campground, I came upon the campground host's site. Their "stuff" was spread out over a few campsites. I must confess, their presence did not instill confidence in me. In fact, it seemed kinda creepy. Sooo...even though the sun had begun to set. I made a speedy exit in search of a pleasant and safe campground.
