Cabin accommodations near Naches, Washington range from simple rustic structures without electricity to fully-equipped options with modern amenities. Located on the eastern slopes of the Cascades, campers find cabins at elevations between 1,800 and 4,500 feet, with temperatures often dropping 20-30 degrees at night compared to daytime highs. Winter snowfall typically makes some cabin sites inaccessible from November through April.
What to do
Fishing access: Rimrock Lake Resort offers immediate lake access for fishing enthusiasts. "The lake itself is rather sparsely used (one or two boats or a jet ski way off in the distance). We had three very friendly chipmunks who visited our site often and were happy to sit on the old stump and join our camp," reports a visitor who stayed in June 2025.
Hiking options: From Lake Easton State Park Campground, campers can access several hiking trails. "There are trails behind the campsite that lead down to the river, or just a short drive away is the 'beach' and bridge overlooking the lake," notes a reviewer. The park also provides "a small/medium playground" for children.
Water recreation: At Bumping Lake Campground, visitors have options for boating and swimming from May to September. "I love boating to the little islands around the lake!" mentions one camper. The campground includes "Lake access. Trail access. Pristine wilderness. Horse trails. Hunting. Fishing. Scenery."
What campers like
River proximity: At Hause Creek Campground, sites 9-12 are right against the river. "The river was running high while we were there, so it drowned out most of the road noise. The top of the dirt is pretty soft, but a few inches down it becomes quite rocky," shares a camper who appreciated the riverside setting.
Family facilities: Ellensburg KOA provides amenities that families particularly enjoy. "They have a TV/play room that my littles loved but not as much as the heated pool, yes, they have a heated pool! This site lies on the banks of the Yakima River. My dad was able to go fly fishing and my littles were able to search for rocks and fish in the shallow areas," explains a visitor.
Peaceful settings: Many campers appreciate the solitude at American Forks Campground. "Great remote campground for smaller RVs. No hookups or water. We went in the beginning of the week and were alone most of the time," shares one reviewer. Another adds, "Runs along a creek that you can hear from all sites. Perfect for tent camping."
What you should know
Weather considerations: At Squaw Rock RV Resort and Campground, seasonal conditions affect camping experience. One visitor warns: "Beautiful cold pool. River is very scenic. However, we were surrounded by smokers, campers with loud music and even a camper with a Confederate flag. Very tight spaces. Bring an extra hose because your connection may be at the front right of your camper."
Campsite selection: For cabins at Whistlin' Jack's Outpost & Lodge, site selection matters. A reviewer who stayed in an RV site notes: "The site was too small for our trailer and the picnic table was wedged between a fire pit and two huge rocks so unusable. For $70 per night I would expect a cleaner and better site."
Communication limitations: Cell reception varies significantly across cabin sites near Naches. "There's no cable, internet or cell service. But it's absolutely a little piece of heaven," states a Rimrock Lake Resort visitor. Another camper at Squaw Rock RV Resort adds, "You're in a valley with NO cell service. Wi-Fi in the park is non-existent. There's a weak signal near the office."
Tips for camping with families
Off-grid preparation: When staying at The Cottonwood Retreat, plan for no utilities. "This host offers a heated 'Glabin' that is off-grid (no running water or electricity). We suggest that you bring water bottles and snacks. There is a portapotty at your campsite," advises a reviewer.
Site selection for noise: At Lake Easton State Park, highway proximity affects some sites. "We had site #11, and the road noise was just too too loud for me. Definitely try to get a spot away from the road," suggests a recent visitor. For a better experience with children, request sites further from Highway 90.
Wildlife awareness: Several cabin sites report small animal visitors. At American Forks Campground, a camper warns: "Lots of chipmunks and birds. So secure your food even in your trailer. We had an unwanted guest destroy a loaf of bread in our popup overnight."
Tips from RVers
Hookup details: At Squaw Rock RV Resort, hookups require planning. "Single utility service serves two sites. The water spigot has a Y splitter to share a single water connection. Power has one 30 Amp and one 50 Amp socket. The first rig arriving gets to choose which one they want to use. There is NO Park RV Dump station," explains an RV camper.
Site dimensions: At Rimrock Lake Resort, most sites accommodate medium-sized RVs. "The sites are mostly back in, with a few (like site 11) that are pull-through. The western side sites (1-17?) have beautiful views, but the typical afternoon/evening wind can be quite, well, windy, while the eastern side is sheltered from the wind," explains a reviewer.
Seasonal considerations: Timing matters when camping with an RV near Naches. "August is a tough time to be there with 90-degree weather and lack of shade. Mornings were nice with coffee sitting out watching the high-paced river go by," shares a camper at Ellensburg KOA who visited during summer.
