    Campgrounds near Cashmere, Washington range from developed RV sites with hookups to dispersed camping in the surrounding Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The area features several 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. Cashmere's diverse campground options make it an ideal base for exploring Central Washington's outdoor attractions.

    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.

      Wenatchee River County Park

      Overbearing Rules

      I camp in my RV in private and public parks all over the PNW approximately 60 days per year. This park is a clean park and rates are OK. HOWEVER, I've never seen rules so ridiculous and overbearing. No tobacco use anywhere in the park, including the day use area. You have to leave the property and stand on the street like some kind of outcast vagrant if you want to enjoy a cigar after hunting all day. There are cameras everywhere and you are being monitored for any possibility of violating one of their many overbearing rules. There is a$100 dollar fine if you use tobacco in the park. The sprinkler system turns on at 4:00am and will soak anything you have in the grass. My chairs were soaked. My trailer was also getting hit at 4:00 am even though we were completely on the pad. You cannot put anything on the grass- not even a rug for wiping your feet after hunting all day. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PARK if you enjoy sleep, tobacco, or privacy!

      L.T. Murray Wildlife Area

      Beautiful spot - road is narrow and rocky

      Was a beautiful spot - road was a bit more narrow and rocky than we expected, but there are a few spots you can pull up before the narrow part of the road. Once you go up, there are a couple spots with really nice views. We were there on a Thursday and no one else was there!

      Lake Easton State Park Campground

      Nice park. A little noisy.

      I like this park. Beautiful views. Very pleasant and clean. Right next to I-90, easy on and off. Though the highway sounds are a constant. Periodic trains from the other side of the lake (though I find this a positive). Full hook up spots. Can accommodate larger rigs, but a few spots are a little tight to get into. Also a very good hamburger spot near by.

      Nason Creek Campground

      Dispersed camping near Nason C/G

      It was easy to find flat areas to camp. I was careful about setting up too much. because there were several bear sightings in this area, so I wanted to avoid cooking odors and such.

      Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground

      Absolutely Breathtaking

      This is probably my favorite campsite I have ever stayed at. Everything is far enough apart to where it doesn’t feel over crowded or crammed. It was a noisy campground, so if you are looking for something quiet this is not going to be for you… but the views, beach, cleanliness, and free shower make up for it ten times over. They also have a very cute gift shop with some merch to check out. The south lot has the more wooded and private campsites whereas the north lot is more of an open space with few tress providing any privacy. The beach is a very rocky beach, and you will need water shoes. Paddle board and kayak rentals were available as well. Onsite campfire wood, ice, snacks, basic camping supplies, and ice tram truck, etc all available at the main store.

      Thousand Trails Crescent Bar

      Crescent Bar - Thousand Trails

      Just pulled in on 09/06/2026 for two nights. Small and a little crowded, but it is Labor Day weekend.  Good place to stay next to the Columbia River for a few days.  Nice host and clean restrooms.

      Icicle River RV Resort

      Clean and tidy RV park

      Incredibly friendly and helpful onsite staff. Great laundry services. Quite pricey for tight spots or I would give 5 stars. Otherwise beautiful location on the river.

      Alpine RV Park and Campground

      Very Quiet

      Very quiet and relaxed location. Nice people. Can check in during their office hours but can also reserve online after hours if needed. Nice that they have bathrooms and showers also.

    Guide to Cashmere

    Camping sites near Cashmere, Washington range from basic forest campgrounds to full-service RV parks with river access. Located in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains at approximately 800 feet elevation, the area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cold winters with occasional snow. Campgrounds within 30 minutes of Cashmere provide access to both alpine forest environments and the drier shrub-steppe ecosystem characteristic of central Washington.

    What to do

    Hiking trails: Access mountain views from Eightmile Campground near Leavenworth. "Several hiking trails. Cell service is nonexistant. Shopping available in Leavenworth, roughly 5 miles," notes camper Norris K. This campground serves as a gateway to the Enchantments trail system.

    Water activities: Cool off during summer heat at Lincoln Rock State Park. The park features a designated swimming area with beach access. According to Nicole N., "Clean bathrooms, easy access to the water, lots of grass and open space for kids to run and play, trees for shade and hanging hammocks... The calm water in the morning sun made for perfect paddleboarding."

    Mountain biking: Explore forest service roads off Derby Canyon. "This area is very popular with mountain bikers and some dirt bikes," reports Ashley V. who stayed at dispersed sites along Derby Road. The terrain offers both technical challenges and scenic routes through the national forest.

    What campers like

    River access: Falling asleep to water sounds at Johnny Creek Campground. "The sites at Lower Johnny Creek aren't too close together. Short hike to the Icicle River if it's not at the back of your campsite," explains Christy A. Many sites back directly onto the Icicle River.

    Family amenities: Playgrounds and open spaces at Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground. Hailey T. shares, "Amazing! Our spot faced the lake and surrounding mountains. The lake has such a nice beach!! Great swimming for adults and kiddos! There is also a playground that my niece loved."

    Spacious campsites: Room to spread out in county parks. "I have never had such wide spread out spaces in any state campground. It was amazing. The spaces were level, lots of grass and enough trees to provide shade at every spot too," notes Sue G. about Wenatchee Confluence State Park. Many sites feature concrete pads with adjacent grassy areas.

    What you should know

    Seasonal operation: Limited winter options for established campgrounds. Most facilities operate April through October. According to Laura M. who stayed at Wenatchee Confluence State Park Campground, "There isn't any water hookups any longer for winter but there are many sights that have electric and dump hookups that are still operational."

    Wildlife awareness: Bear activity in forest campgrounds. "Beware of bear activity," warns Kathleen D. about Eightmile Campground. Bear-proof food storage is essential at wilderness sites throughout the Wenatchee National Forest.

    Sprinkler schedules: Tent placement considerations at maintained parks. As Cinco D. notes about Lincoln Rock State Park, "What makes it difficult for tent camping is there are a ton of sprinklers that turn on frequently. It is important to watch where you stake down your tent."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kids' activities: Resort-style amenities at Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA. "We take our kids on fancy vacations but their favorite stop every year is the Leavenworth KOA. There are events all weekend, a shuttle into Leavenworth, movie nights and a cheap pancake breakfast," shares Amanda B.

    Beach play: Sandy shorelines for water fun. "Great place to bring a bunch of friends, beautiful lake and beach and nice big camping spots!" writes Gracie W. about Lake Wenatchee State Park. The designated swimming areas feature gradual entry points suitable for younger children.

    Biking opportunities: Safe paths away from traffic. Rich S. recommends Wenatchee Confluence State Park: "Large and sprawling, there are large grassy areas and walking/biking trails all over the campground and area. Bathrooms are clean." These paths provide safe recreation areas separate from roadways.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: Full-service options at Wenatchee River County Park. "Good level asphalt roads and paved sites. Grounds/grass well maintained. Clean restrooms and pay 25 cents for four minutes clean showers," reports Leonard H. The park offers full hookups with 50-amp service.

    Cell service limitations: Plan communications before arrival. "Wifi and cell service was bad. We use Verizon and pretty much had to go into town for service," notes Rick S. about staying at Icicle River RV Resort. Many mountain locations have limited or no connectivity.

    Road conditions: Vehicle clearance considerations for dispersed camping. "Service roads did have some heavily washed out areas and rocks that higher ground clearance and AWD/4WD would be beneficial, but a 2WD car could make it to some sites," advises Ashley V. regarding Derby Road dispersed camping areas.
