RV camping near Easton, Washington offers a mix of mountain views and riverfront access across diverse terrain. The area sits at the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains with elevations ranging from 2,100 to 2,500 feet, creating cooler summer nights than lower-elevation campgrounds. Most campgrounds in the region close during winter months when snowfall can block access roads.
What to do
River activities along the Yakima River: Several campgrounds provide river access where campers can fish, wade, or enjoy shoreline walks. At Whispering Pines RV Campground, campers appreciate the riverside location. "There are paths that go to the Yakima river or along side it was nice. Just on the other side of the freeway is the town of Cle Elum. Nice bakeries and breweries is what attracted us," notes Patrick J.
Hiking trails: Numerous trailheads provide access to wilderness areas surrounding Easton. From Crystal Mountain RV Parking, adventurers can explore mountain trails. "Can't beat the location for skiing and hiking or biking at Crystal Mountain!" according to Emma A., who stayed during summer.
Golf outings: Play a round at SunCountry Golf Course, adjacent to their RV park. While recent reviews are limited, the campground's location makes it convenient for golfers seeking a morning round before afternoon activities. Their seasonal operation typically runs April through November with limited services during shoulder seasons.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer more separation between campsites than others. At Tall Chief Campground, campers enjoy the space. "Large private sites. It feels like you are deep in the PNW rainforest but you close to amenities and shopping," writes Adele W.
Clean facilities: Restroom and shower cleanliness ranks high in camper satisfaction. At Whispering Pines RV Campground, campers report: "The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. It is close to I-90, so there is road noise, but it did not bother us as much as some of the other reviewers."
Nature accessibility: Many appreciate how quickly they can access natural features from their sites. "Then I took a walk around on the path, and followed the river. Quiet time at 10... felt safe, didn't get bothered... no trouble checking in... loved it," says Randy G. about the riverside paths at Whispering Pines.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Reception varies widely throughout the region. At Blu-Shastin RV Park, visitors note: "No cell service with T-Mobile. WiFi at the clubhouse. Stay here. Best price only 45 a night full hookups," reports Cris Jason L.
Seasonal closures: Many campgrounds operate seasonally due to mountain weather. Always check current operating dates before planning a trip, especially in shoulder seasons.
Road noise: Proximity to I-90 creates background noise at several campgrounds. "It is close to I-90, so there is road noise... There are also trains, but again, we did not really notice them," mentions James W. at Whispering Pines.
Winter hookup preparation: For year-round campgrounds, wintertime camping requires additional preparation. "October is perfect time. So quiet, leaves changing, crisp weather. Just make sure you have heated water hose," advises Kurtis K. about camping at Leavenworth in colder months.
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds and activities: Some campgrounds offer dedicated facilities for children. "I normally do not leave reviews but this campground was one of the nicest we have every been to. The campground was very clean, the spots were spacious and tons of things for the kids to do," reports Nick C. about Whispering Pines.
Swimming options: During summer months, pool access provides relief from heat. At Squaw Rock RV Resort, visitors appreciate the "Well-kept & clean!" facilities including a pool.
Game rooms for rainy days: Several campgrounds maintain indoor activities for inclement weather. Blu-Shastin offers "a clubhouse with pool tables and a couple of video games," providing entertainment when outdoor activities aren't possible.
Tips from RVers
Electrical service limitations: Power capacity varies between parks, affecting which appliances can operate simultaneously. "The majority of the sites are only 30 amp with antiquated posts. There are a few 50 amp sites but from what I saw they were all taken by RVers that are there on a more permanent basis," notes one visitor about Tall Chief.
Site leveling: Site preparation can be important at some campgrounds. At Icicle River RV Resort, campers mention: "Up in this area, the road is paved but lots 76-87 are gravel. Not a big deal unless it rains as those are on the lower end of a slope. So we got wet when it rained and had a bit of an issue with water pooling next to the electric outlet."
Dump station availability: Not all RV parks provide on-site dump facilities. "There is NO Park RV Dump station. You're in a valley with NO cell service. Wi-Fi in the park is non-existent," reports one RVer about Squaw Rock Resort, highlighting the importance of planning tank management.
