    Camping near Roslyn, Washington ranges from developed campgrounds with separate tent and RV loops to free dispersed sites deep in the Cascade Mountains. Salmon La Sac Campground, located about 15 miles north of town along the Cle Elum River, offers a more alpine feel with large private sites and riverside camping. Lake Easton State Park Campground, situated approximately 10 miles southwest of Roslyn, provides year-round camping with separate loops for tents and RVs. Wish Poosh Campground and Kachess Campground offer additional options with lake access, while French Cabin Creek Recreation Area provides free dispersed camping opportunities for those seeking a more primitive experience.

    Reservations are essential during the peak season from mid-May through September, particularly for weekend stays. As one camper noted, "This was a last-minute reservation in August and I am quite sure that we just got lucky and grabbed a reservation that had just been cancelled." Many campgrounds in the area feature vault toilets and limited drinking water, with hand pumps being common at more rustic sites like Salmon La Sac. Highway noise affects some campgrounds, particularly at Lake Easton where "the upper loop of campsites is very near to I-90, and because of that, pretty noisy." Cell service is limited throughout the region, with most areas having spotty coverage or none at all, especially in more remote locations.

    Waterfront sites at lakes and along the Cle Elum River are consistently rated highest by visitors. According to one review, "The feel of this campground is very different than those just down the road towards Cle Elum. Much closer to an alpine feel than the lower pine forests." The town of Roslyn itself serves as a convenient base for supplies and dining, with several campers mentioning bike rides or day trips into town. Family-friendly amenities are available at Lake Easton, which one visitor described as "THE place to bring the 4-10 year old group for bike riding." Hiking trails, mountain biking opportunities, and water recreation are abundant throughout the area, with the Pacific Crest Trail accessible from several nearby trailheads.

      Wenatchee Confluence State Park Campground

      Beautiful Campground

      Beautiful state park right on the Columbia river. There are several pull through sites as well as lots of back in sites and dry camping sites. Most of the sites have water, electric and sewer hook ups. On asphalt pads. Showers were clean and lots of hot water. Great hiking and biking trails in the area. Right next to a huge park that has a playground and volleyball and horseshoe pits. Grass everywhere! Did get charged $15 extra for being out of state resident.

      Dog Lake Campground

      It’s fine enough

      The campground is very small and sites are super close together. Law enforcement is pretty present, not sure if that’s an always thing or just today. But if you dont mess with pigs I wouldn’t stay here. It’s pretty tho

      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!

      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.

    • Fishing: Many campgrounds are close to rivers and lakes, making them great for fishing. A review from Salmon La Sac highlights, "Trailer spaces are pull thru and back up. Some camps are in the tree pockets and some are in open areas."

    What campers like:

    • Scenic Views: Campers rave about the beautiful surroundings. A review for Middle Fork Campground states, "Very clean campground with very nice tent pads."
    • Privacy: Many sites offer a sense of seclusion. One camper at Johnny Creek Campground noted, "We felt very secluded at camp 7. Tall trees surround the area."
    • Clean Facilities: Clean restrooms and well-maintained sites are a big plus. A visitor at Lake Easton State Park Campground mentioned, "The site was clean, close to the lake, and had an additional spot to put a tent if needed."

    What you should know:

    • Road Noise: Some campgrounds are near busy roads, which can be noisy. A camper at Lake Easton State Park Campground said, "There was a lot of car noise, but I would definitely return again!"
    • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have full amenities. A review for Denny Creek Campground mentions, "The campground itself is kind of crowded usually and the spots are close to each other."
    • Reservations Recommended: Some popular spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends. A visitor at Kachess Campground advised, "Been coming here for 4 years... the lake has always been the highlight of our trip."

    Tips for camping with families:

    • Kid-Friendly Activities: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds and activities. One camper at Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA said, "It has a great playground for the kids, a pool, shower stations, a coffee and ice cream bar."
    • Choose Spacious Sites: Opt for campgrounds with larger sites for more room to play. A review for Kachess Campground noted, "There is not much separating those 2 sites so would have not been as nice if we had not known our neighbors."

    Tips from RVers:

    • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site before booking. A review for Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA stated, "The sites were so tight that we could barely fit the provided picnic table next to our trailer."
    • Look for Full Hookups: Some campgrounds offer full hookups, which can make your stay more comfortable. A camper at Lake Easton State Park Campground appreciated the "full hook-up spot."
    • Be Prepared for Dust: Some sites can be dusty, so bring a ground sheet. A visitor at Kachess Campground noted, "The site I stayed in was surprisingly private, other campers barely in view."
