Best Campgrounds near Cashmere, WA

1,016 Reviews

Camping options around Cashmere, Washington range from developed campgrounds to dispersed sites in the surrounding Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The area features several established facilities including Wenatchee River County Park near Monitor and Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA, both offering tent and RV sites with hookups. Dispersed camping opportunities exist along forest roads such as Derby Road NF7400, where primitive sites provide more secluded experiences. The region's camping landscape extends from riverside locations along the Wenatchee River to higher elevation forest settings with mountain views.

Access to camping areas varies significantly by season, with most developed campgrounds operating from spring through fall. Lincoln Rock State Park Campground and Wenatchee Confluence State Park maintain seasonal operations typically from March through October, while some KOA facilities remain open year-round. Forest Service roads leading to dispersed sites may become impassable during winter months or after heavy rainfall. Permits are required for dispersed camping in the national forest, and campfire restrictions are common during dry summer months. Cell service is limited in more remote areas, particularly in the mountains west of Cashmere. According to one visitor, "This area of the southeast corner of the NF has very little traffic compared to others, we saw only one ATV for the whole time we were there."

Campers frequently mention the scenic beauty of the area, with river access being a highly valued feature. The Wenatchee River provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and paddling at several campgrounds. Sites with mountain views, particularly those on forest roads near Chumstick Mountain, receive positive reviews for their sunset vistas and relative seclusion. Developed campgrounds closer to towns offer amenities like showers and electrical hookups, while primitive sites appeal to those seeking quiet natural settings. A reviewer noted that Wenatchee River County Park is "well located with easy drive to Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Cashmere. Float the river, thrift for treasures or just relax." Proximity to outdoor recreation opportunities, including hiking trails and water activities, makes the area popular during summer months when advance reservations are recommended for established campgrounds.

    Salmon La Sac

    Salmon La Sac

    Very busy campground on the weekend, but found one of the last first come, first serve sites on Friday around noon. Pit toilets were clean but stronger than normal smell. Good family oriented campground with swimming hole at bottom of loop.

    Johnny Creek Campground

    Lower Johnny Campground

    Lower Johnny had nice sites, #15 felt pretty private and you could hear and see Icicle Creek about 30 feet below the site. Toilet was very clean. Area did not seem as packed in as Eightmile Campground down the road. If being near the water is not a priority, Upper Johnny had lots of very nice looking sites with more availability than the other nearby campgrounds.

    Jameson Lake

    Peaceful

    Peaceful and quiet, but can imagine right time of year it could get really busy because there’s a lot of space for camping. Minus one because you need to pay/need a pass to stay.

    Burke Lake West

    Post-Dave Rave Car Camping

    Coordinates woulda taken us down a dirt road with a lotta potholes so we just pulled a bit off the road and car camped. It was next to some farmland after a Dave Matthews concert @ the Gorge. No amenities where we were, but quite beautiful.

    Forest Road Dispersed Site

    Alright for a quick stop

    Small turn out near lake Wenatchee. Road was not visible on google maps, but it’s a small turn out right at the end of the bridge (if going north).

    Pulled off to the first site I saw and pitched a tent. Heard some other people more down the road, and saw another car pull in later in the night. I was glad to have found a spot at all given that it was really late and Labor Day weekend.

    There was a fire pit and a little bit of trash. Excellent phone service. Road noise was pretty loud but that didn’t bother me. Lots of tiny little flying bugs though. Had to put a light near my car while setting up my tent to keep them from swarming my face.

    Nason Creek Campground

    Nice campground

    This campground has 3 loops. I found a FF site 22 that unfortunately is near the road. But no noise at night. There is a creek going through the campground. Nice for a hot day.

    Alta Lake State Park Campground

    Lovely Campground

    Two Loops. Loop off the lake has larger sites with more privacy and view of the cliffs. The loop in the lake has lake views but the sites are on top of each other with no privacy. There are concessions for the kids on a large grass beach area with floats you can use. The view is amazing.
