Conconully State Park Campground welcomes pets at all campsites with standard leash requirements. The park offers both drive-in and walk-in access with tent and RV camping options. Shady Pines Resort provides additional pet-friendly options including cabins and glamping accommodations where dogs can stay with their owners. Most campgrounds in the area feature basic pet amenities including picnic tables and fire rings, though specific pet facilities like designated dog areas are limited. Campers should note that while pets are allowed, the sites are generally open with little privacy between camping spots. Deer frequently walk through the campgrounds morning and evening, which requires keeping dogs under control.
Salmon Creek runs adjacent to Oriole Campground, providing water access where pets can cool off during summer months. The Conconully area offers multiple dog-friendly campgrounds with hiking trails suitable for leashed dogs, with the trails from Salmon Meadows Campground particularly noted for recreational opportunities. No cell phone service exists at most campgrounds, requiring pet owners to research veterinary services in advance, with the nearest options likely in Omak or Okanogan. Loup Loup Campground recently reopened after being closed for several years and offers spacious sites under pine trees where dogs have ample room to relax on leash. Winter camping options are limited as most facilities operate seasonally from late spring through early fall, with Shady Pines Resort being one of the few year-round options for camping with pets.

ScoutBlack Pine Lake Campground
Quiet gem but more use than expected
We came to this little gem of a campground from 6/22-25/2107. Based off our research, Black Pine CG had more use than we expected but we found a nice site (#23) away from the cluster of activity with a beautiful view of the mountains and lake. Even though the CG was almost full on the weekend, it was quiet (no loud or hooligan activity). There are two sections to the CG, upper and lower. We would have liked site #3 in the upper section if it had been available. There was quite a bit of day use activity at the lake with cars going in and of the campground beginning around 12:00 noon (weekdays and weekends).
The CG hosts were lovey. Lynn and Sherry keep the place spotless. Cleanest bathrooms ever! The camp supplied drinking water and there is plenty of firewood to be found. The pets on leash rule is strictly enforced.
Of course there were mosquitos but were only really bothersome at the usual morning and dusk time. It was not windy and overall was a beautiful and quiet CG.
We ventured down to the lake on day 2 and walked the short interpretive trail that goes about 1/2 way around the lake. Nice little trail and handicapped accessible. We only saw a couple of other folks on our walk.
There is active use for fishing from docks, kayaks, canoes, and rowboats. No motors allowed except for trolling motors but we never saw one. Discouraging site was the large brown trout in the garbage. Want and waste. Unfortunate.
In summary, Black Pine is a beautiful, peaceful, gem to enjoy and relax with easy access to trail heads in the area. We probably won't return because it was busier than we prefer. We're typically dispersed site campers but wanted to try out Black Pine Lake CG with our pop-up camper on this trip. It was an enjoyable location as we explore our new home state of Washington (transplants from Oregon).

Short & Long Term Stay Options, Great For Larger Rigs But With Tent Spaces
Washington Rolling down the road on the Cascade Loop I took in all the scenery and enjoyed every moment. But something I noticed along the way was that cell signal was minimal and with that it made it a bit harder to find locations to stop for the night. Typically I enjoy a more remote site or a good forest camp, however along the loop, though there are many forest service roads, most certainly with camping available, being so remote without cell signal and roads looking more questionable in some areas, I feared going to far off the beaten path into the unknown in my small car.
This brought me to the Riverbend RV Park, a Good Sam park along the loop which actually allocates some of their spaces to tent campers. Privately owned the features were a bit more expansive than many of the sites I had visited along the way including running water and full hook ups for those in RVs. Additionally they had a propane refill station which was quite nice for a small charge without having to wander into town to find supplies.
The layout of the location was nice as it formed a large loop easy to access even by the largest of rigs. The office welcomed you as your drove in and made it easy to stop, pay for your site and find out all the information you needed to know not only about the campsite but also the surrounding area. A few brochures inside noted area attractions and information about the loop itself. This office also housed a small general store which had a few items you might need while at camp and some general items which could be nice in way of snack and food. Nothing large, but certainly helpful for those who were weary from the road and all the traveling excitement.
This park welcomes families but also their pets, with a large pet area for them to run free and enjoy stretching their legs. Otherwise throughout camp they do ask you keep your pets on a leash, which seemed more than fair considering the large space they were given to enjoy free of burden.
The kiddos were also welcome with their own play area that was well maintained and away from the other campers just enough to not disrupt the silence of the camp. This area had its own water fountain to assure hours of safe and hydrated play.
The sites themselves were typical of an RV park, a standard picnic table and enough room to move around a little but still somewhat closer to your neighbors than you would be at many forest campsites. I found that the camping area I checked out for myself had a little more distance between the sites which was nice but there was no tree coverage so it is a bit of a trade off for space or shade.
On premise is an activity room and also a restroom area. Restrooms offer showers and warmth on the cold days and night and the activity room is a large room with plenty of space to enjoy a game night or some time watching television in a more social setting. There is also a laundry facility at this building which was super helpful for catching up along the loop after several weeks of travel.
All in all though this was privately run and thus a bit more expensive, around $30 a night, the benefits of the stay at this location were vast. Though it wasn’t my style of camping for every night a stop here was a nice way to check out some of the many amenities which contrast some of the other camps along the way. Definitely worth a stop if you are in an RV or if you want to have a place with a lot of benefits.
TIPS:
-
If you are a larger unit this is a great place to stay for amenities and size of spaces you will easily be able to pull in and get comfortable with your slides at this location.
-
Location of this campsite is key as it is close to town but also along the loop within driving distance of the North Cascades Park and also some of the Washington State Parks. If you can detach and use this as a home base it will work well with your travels.

Very close to town
This campground is very close to the quaint little town of Conconully, which isn’t a bad thing. The campsites are all very open with no shade or privacy. There are also cabins for rent. Simple place with a shore, fishing, and boat launch---not much else. Nice area for cross-country skiing, good wildlife thanks to the nearby refuge.

25 Mile Creek State Park Campground
Beautiful, but a bit risky
This ia a beautiful camping location, but we have encountered fires, rattlesnakes, and torrential rains - including flooded camp gear. Fun spot, but have woken up to snakes sleeping under tents - probably not the best spot for kids or curious pets

Busy but still fun!
This is a very busy park/campground so it’s kinda noisy when you wanting to get away! However we still had a great time hanging out at the lakeside beach area, it’s dog friendly, hot weather, and close to downtown Winthrop for great shopping and food!

Guide to Conconully
Conconully camping areas sit at approximately 2,300 feet elevation in the Okanogan Highlands, surrounded by forest land and two small lakes. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from late spring through early fall, with limited winter options. Temperatures can fluctuate significantly, reaching 90°F in summer months while dropping near freezing at night in early and late season.
What to do
Hiking from Salmon Meadows: Access miles of forest trails directly from Salmon Meadows Campground where campers report "tons of dirt bike/side by side trails in the area" and note the "awesome trails from this spot to ride UTVs."
Fishing at multiple lakes: Catch trout at both Conconully Lake and Conconully Reservoir, or fish directly from docks at some properties. One visitor to Liar's Cove Resort notes "there is fishing right from the dock or you can rent a boat or a pontoon boat."
Creekside exploration: Many sites offer creek access for wading or nature observation. At Oriole Campground, "Salmon Creek was right next to the campground for some great exploring," according to campers who enjoyed the proximity to water.
What campers like
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds report frequent deer sightings throughout the camping areas. One camper at Shady Pines Resort enjoyed "watching the deer, geese and herons" during their stay.
Spacious sites under pine trees: Several campgrounds feature well-spaced sites with good shade coverage. A camper at Loup Loup Campground described it as a "gorgeous spot under the pines" with "large campsites" and noted the campground was nearly empty with "only 3 of ~50 spots filled."
No cell service for disconnecting: The area provides a true technology break for most visitors. A camper at Green Lake appreciates that there's "no cell service, no power, no water, just my family and the lake."
What you should know
Water availability varies: Some campgrounds lack potable water on-site. A visitor to Oriole Campground noted "there was no water onsite but just a mile down the road at Cottonwood Campground was the fresh spring water tap."
Campground reopenings: Several area campgrounds have reopened after extended closures. At Loup Loup Campground, a camper reported, "This long closed campground has finally reopened for camping. The USFS has thinned out the dense tree cover and reopened for the 2023 season."
Seasonal limitations: Most facilities only operate during summer months. Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground operates from "March to October" while several forest service campgrounds only open "Memorial Day to September 30."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming areas for children: Several locations offer lake access suitable for kids. At Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground, one visitor shared "the kids loved kayaking near the ducks" and appreciated the dedicated beach area.
Playgrounds at select parks: Some campgrounds provide play structures for children. A camper at Conconully State Park Campground "enjoyed the play area with my son, we had a great time fishing and camp site was perfect."
Educational wildlife viewing: Regular deer sightings provide nature observation opportunities. At Conconully State Park Campground, visitors report "deer going through camp" and seeing "deer everywhere" throughout their stay.
Tips from RVers
Limited big rig access: Many forest campgrounds cannot accommodate larger RVs. At Rock Lakes Campground, a camper advised they "would not recommend anything more than a teardrop trailer" due to site constraints.
Hookup availability: Electrical and water hookups are primarily available at established state parks and private resorts. At Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground, RVers find "paved streets & individual sites" that are "most sites close to level" with a "dump station at exit for those w/o sewer hookup sites."
Resort options for more amenities: Private resorts offer additional services for RVers. A visitor to Shady Pines Resort called it "a great help the entire stay" noting it's "an absolutely fantastic little campground for all sizes, from tents to big RVs."
