Cascade Peaks Family Camping

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hayrides, scavenger hunts, two swimming pools, and a playground give families with kids plenty of structure at Cascade Peaks Family Camping in Packwood, Washington. The campground is large enough that guests often explore it on foot the first evening just to get their bearings. Full hookup sites, water and electric only sites, and tent sites are all available, with RVs up to 50 feet accommodated. Reservations are accepted, and pets are welcome.

Crowd levels are a recurring theme in reviews, particularly on holiday weekends. Memorial Day and Labor Day visits draw packed pools and elevated noise throughout the property. Sites in the full hookup section are shaded by old-growth fir trees that provide both cover and separation between neighbors. AT&T and Verizon service reportedly works well in that area, though the WiFi has drawn complaints about reliability. Road conditions after rain are worth noting: muddy, ungraded roads have caused problems for some RV arrivals, and hookup placement on certain sites may require extension cords for power and water connections.

Maintenance consistency has varied across visits. Some reviewers found bathrooms clean with work campers actively emptying trash, while others noted facilities that went days without attention. Showers have hot water, though handles on some stalls are reversed. Jessie C. notes that "facilities aren't the greatest, but our camp site was quite and secluded." The nearby town of Packwood provides resupply options, though some businesses close mid-week. Campers wanting a more dispersed setting can look at North Fork Campground to the south, or browse camping near Packwood for a fuller picture of what's available in the area.

Did the job for a night

We were looking for a place last minute on a Sunday night. Plenty of sites open, so we had a lot to choose from. Facilities aren’t the greatest, but our camp site was quite and secluded. If it was packed, I could see it being loud and stacked.

Weird Vibe, but met our needs!

This park is HUGE. We explored it on foot the first night, but really kept to our section for the next few days. We stayed in the full hookup section so I can only speak to phone service and WiFi in that area. We were also able to choose any open spot in the full hookup area and we’re not assigned to anything specifically. Also, there were many folks who live there/ have stayed there for ages.

Amenities:

Laundry room Country store Bathrooms & showers Full hookups (can also choose sites with just water/ electric hookup)

Lacking:

Working WiFi Dumpsters

ATT& Verizon service worked well. Bathrooms were not cleaned daily, and looked like they were maintained only one day that we were there. There is hot water in the showers, but some of the handles are switched—and it took a long time to warm up. Also, shower stalls have no divide from one another so if there is anyone else in there at the same time I couldn’t imagine showering.

The full hookup area has lots of gorgeous old trees that provide privacy and shade.

We didn’t find dumpsters nearby our site or on the way out—so we used the trash cans at the bathroom.

Packwood is close by and a very cute little town—but some days it seems closed (Tuesday/ Wednesday.) There was also a forest fire close by that certainly could have changed the normal course of life in the area.

Packed and dusty

It's a long walk to the river. The swimming pools were packed solid. There were so many people and so much noise and dust. Not really a back to nature experience. But on the plus side, there is a store, responsive staff, security at night and hot water.

Not my style

Absolutely not my kind of campground. We decided to go over Memorial Day Weekend - so maybe it’s better other weekends? When we arrived, it had rained so the roads were completely muddy, messy, and slippery. We went to our site and found another name on it- turns out they double booked us. We had to go back to the front desk to get it sorted. Thankfully we did and got a spot. The campground was PACKED and the noise level is unreal. If you like to party, stay up late and play music, and NOT relax- then this is the place. We are leaving a day early because I was expecting something better. Plus side- they had working bathrooms.

Past It's prime

This is a huge campground with lots of amenities. We came during Memorial Day weekend 2020 and it was hopping. Being one of the only campground open during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are tons of people here looking to get out of quarantine for some fresh air.

We booked three campsites with hookups. When we arrived the three sites combined were the size of two small tent sites. Between the three sites there was only one fire pit and one table.

The problem is that this Campground had been neglected for many years. There roads and campsites are muddy and need to be graveled. We watched our neighbors get stuck trying to park his camper.

The hookups are placed in bad locations and require extensions for both power and water. Many of the GFCI outlets don't work.

This place has a lot of potential. There are two pools a store and playground. All of which are run down. The roads are in desperate need of gravel.

Despite all of the drawbacks it is a beautiful place. I hope they can restore it to back to its prime.

Very kid friendly

We went the busiest weekend of the year. We went on Labor Day and they were packed, but there was so much for the kids to do. There are 2 pools, playground, bikes to ride, hayrides, scavenger hunt. I’m sure I forgot something.. almost all the sites had power and water, and about 60ish sites also has sewer. The parks is on the older side but the restrooms were clean. They also had work campers the were consistently cleaning and emptying the trash. Also if you were able there are lots for sale. My kids are grown but if I had kids that is ere I would go all the time. Because I can’t tell you how many time I heard I’m bored there is nothing to do.. well at cascade peaks there is always something for them to do... we will be going back..

Campground is run down but has a nice view

We stayed for two nights 80% of the time we was there we had no electricity and no water.I lost everything in my fridge.. The views are amazing and they are nice big wooded sites..The bathroom only worked the 1st pm we was there and the showers are warm but not hot at all.. The bathroom/shower is very run down,the cabinets was literally falling apart..The playground, laundry etc was pretty much the same way.. It looks like if someone would invest some $$into fixing it up it would be very nice.. We was never offered any comp for the electric and water we paid for being out. I feel like like they should have offered something.. even a bag of ice would have been nice..it's definitely not someplace I suggest..
