Best Tent Camping near Anatone, WA

Primitive tent campsites near Anatone, Washington offer basic accommodations in a remote setting. Bezona Campground provides boat-in and drive-in access for tent campers, with most sites located near water. Other options include Misery Spring Campground, Teal Campground, and Big Springs Campground, all established tent sites within the surrounding national forest lands.

Most tent campgrounds in the Anatone area have limited amenities. Big Springs Campground provides fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets but no drinking water. Bezona has toilets but prohibits fires. Campers should carry in all necessary supplies including water, as none of the sites offer water hookups or drinking water facilities. The camping season typically runs from early June through late August for many sites due to elevation and weather conditions. High-clearance vehicles are recommended for accessing more remote tent sites, particularly after rain or early in the season.

Tent camping in this region offers notable solitude and access to surrounding wilderness. The terrain varies from forested settings to open areas with limited shade. Trail access is available from several campgrounds, making them good baselines for day hiking or backpacking. A visitor to Teal Campground mentioned, "The area was really pretty with views of the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness and Tucannon drainage. It was quiet, and the weather was perfect." Panjab Campground provides riverside tent sites with hammock-friendly tree placement, though it sits closer to the main road. For more privacy, tent campers may prefer the less developed sites like Misery Spring or the walk-in access points that discourage RV traffic.

    Jubilee Lake Campground (Or) — Umatilla National Forest

    Peace & Quiet!

    The campground is somewhat primitive. There are flushing toilets on the lower loop, vault toilets on the upper loop. no showers, but you can refresh in the lake. The nights get chilly, so be prepared with warm socks and a beenie, especially if you’re tent camping.

    There are no power boats allowed on the lake, so it is raft, kayak paddle board friendly.

    The path around the lake is an easy walk, just don’t expect to sit on a bench and enjoy the view of the lake, the trees have grown up.

    Mini camp 5.0

    Absolutely lovely

    Views are spectacular. Little wind coverage during the day though it’s very private with quite a distance off the Big Eddy trail to get down to the waterside spot. Vaulted toilet, fire ring and a picnic table make for some comfy accommodations. Marker on trail (approximately 5 1/4mi hiking north from Bid Eddy or 3 7/8mi hiking south from Freeman Creek)

    Mini Camp 3.5

    Sweet little spot

    This is an easy 1mi hike from Big Eddy Recreation area on the Big Eddy trail. Ok, correction, challenging out of the gate with a fairly vertical start but levels out quickly and you’re suddenly submerged in the trees and lush ferns. This spot has a long walkway out from the main trail offering tons of privacy. Great shallow ramp for a boat and easy access the a dip is the res or to get your water to filter. Fire ring, picnic table and vault toilets make for a comfortable stay. The closest site to this is another 3ish miles north. Waters are spectacular shades of blue and the trees in the sunset are hard to beat!

    Pittsburg Campground

    Beautiful area, ok camping

    Beautiful area, incredibly scenic and photographable, but a few things to be aware of.

    There is a heck of a drive to get into this place, there’s a very winding and steep road to get there and it took us about an hour from White Bird. That being said, it was a very lovely and scenic drive, and based on the number of trailers and boats that were down there it doesn’t seem to deter many people. Just be aware you’ll want to come prepared with whatever you’ll need while you’re there because it’s not a quick ride back into town to get supplies (and make sure you have enough gas in your tank)

    Also, word of warning to any dog owners; I discovered as soon as we unloaded from the vehicle that there are sticky burs absolutely everywhere on the ground and our furry labradoodle was soon covered with them. The first thing we did when we got back into cell phone range was call and schedule him a grooming appointment to get shaved because they were on every inch of his body and would be impossible to comb out.

    The campsites are all pretty close together and since this is a desert area there are very few trees, so you will be able to see your fellow campers and they will be able to see you. Each site has a little canopy thing for both shade and I suspect some wind protection (it got extremely windy one of the nights we were there).

    It was $8 a night when I was there in August 2020. There was a burn restriction in place from July 1st to September 15th according to posted signs.

    If you do not have a trailer, there are some dispersed camping sites at the “Upper Landing” that are clearly marked. They are walk in only but didn’t appear to be too far to walk and seem that they would afford a bit more privacy if that’s what you’d looking for.

    Winchester Lake State Park Campground

    Beautiful tall pines!

    We have come here to fish on several occasions but never camped! We tent camp and we enjoy semi-level ground, which we had! The bathrooms are pit but are kept very clean!

    Godman Guard Station

    Godman

    This campsite is the usual with fire rings, water, restrooms, and picnic table. This site has a lake and there is a lot of people fishing. the site costed me about 12 dollars which is really cheap.

    Pink House Recreation Site

    Nice and quiet!

    This small, nicely maintained campground is first come first serve! No reservations! Nice clean bathroom with no showers! They have 3 unique elevated campsites with picnic tables! You will need cash or check to pay for your campsite!

    Pealy Loop Recreation Site Dispersed

    Great and free

    We came upon this site after passing on the White Bird Recreation Site just north of here - it's so much better and we're so glad we came here. It's an established campground, with maybe 4 or 5 sites, all open, spread out, right on the river. There's a picnic table and fire pit for each site, and a porta potty. Verizon was roaming and AT.T. had great reception. Despite being right off the main road, it was very quiet and you couldn't hear or see traffic since you're lower down on the river. Easy access for big rigs. We stayed here two nights. Ranger came through to check on things, always love to see that.

    Beautiful spot. Free! 14 day limit. No trash service, no water other than the river. The campground was nice and clean.
