Dry Creek Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Wenatchee National Forest holds this drive-in campground along a lake in the Cascade Mountains, north of Roslyn. No running water, electricity, or shower facilities are available. A portable toilet has been added as use has grown. Cell service is unreliable, so downloading offline maps before arrival is worth doing. The site runs mostly dispersed, with enough space for multiple groups. Salmon La Sac sits 0.3 miles north for campers who want a more developed setup.

Amazing spot

I’d consider this one of my top 3 free camping spots ever, right next to a lake and surrounded by the Cascade Mountains. Spectacular setting and lots of space for folks to set up in this mostly dispersed campsite.

We go every summer

We go to this place every summer. Many people already know the entrance, so nowadays there is a portable toilet available for campers. I recommend downloading the offline map and be prepared to have no cell phone signal. During the day, the view is breathtaking, and at night, the stars complete your stay. Don't expect to have running water, electricity or a shower. Clean up after yourself and take your trash with you because there is no trash can nearby. The coordinates we used for the spot:
