Guide
We stayed here for 3 nights in mid September. Warm enough to swim, some sun, and a few showers. Park is mostly full, but most of the the time is quiet. Bathrooms and facilities extremely clean and well maintained. A little boat noise at times, but not too bad. We had a site right on the lake with a small beach. No hookups in our site, but many have partial or full hookups.
Legend
Nice park beside very slow river adjacent to busy road. No dogs on grass. Garbage. Picnic tables. Shaded. Stay 72 hours. Warm shower. Flush toilet. $10/night/vehicle or tent
Scout
Great spot with plenty of sites. Lots of room at your site and between neighbors. Super close to the river. There were a lot of people, mainly families, but everyone was super respectful and it honestly made me feel safer and a solo traveler. Would definitely go back.
Guide
Situated between the road and Toats Coulee Creek. Nice shaded campground with the creek bordering some of the sites. The creek is loud so nearly covers the road noise. Low traffic a little industrial.
Traveler
A great place if you’re looking for a quick overnight stop with easy highway access. Water from a hand pump well and vault toilets available. Also a nice ADA trail at site.
TravelerUndeveloped and rather unkempt, but a lovely view of the river. Quiet and free! There is a porta-potty that was clean when we visited but no trash pickup and some litter. Great place for a quick overnight stay.
Traveler
Gorgeous spot under the pines, the site has everything we would need including water, toilets and large campsites. Campground is almost empty, only 3 of ~50 spots are filled
Guide
Don't have much of a review, we found a spot here last second after signing up to run the Sun Mountain 25k last minute. Barely spent any time at the campground. I know the location was good for being able to just walk into town. The camp spots were just shared space in a grassy area. Nothing spectacular.
Guide
Short trip from the town of Loomis. Only a mile or so of gravel road. The campground has 10 sites. It sits between Forde lake and a pond we call reflection. It is or was a part of an irrigation system. The gravel road is fairly busy with plenty of dust boiling up. I recommend not taking the first site in even though it looks like it would accommodate a 40 ft rig. Four of the sites looked able to handle our 27 ft trailer. A few are slide in camper sized. Not busy during our stay and was a less improved area near by with more sites. Remember lake and pond so mosquitoes are present.
Guide
We took the opportunity to secure one of the “private” lots. Site S9 comes with a private fenced area, with fire pit, hot tub, seating and fully ready propane Weber. Staff is immediate and attentive. Free WiFi and only 1 hour from the National Park.
Ranger
We only stayed here one night, but we enjoyed our stay. We had 50 amp electric service and fresh water. There is a communal dump station. Lots of grass to walk the dogs.
LegendGeneral: A variety of different campsites in two sections ranging from economy to basic to popular, with and without hookups, and priced according to peak or non-peak season. There are also three cabins and two group camp areas.
Site Quality: We are happy we were able to book a basic tent site with our campervan (there were more than a few others with RVs in these sites). Parking was on grass and not completely level, but we made it work. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring (although there was a fire ban in effect when we were there). The sites with utilities had paved camper pads.
Bath/Shower house: Clean with soap and air dryers. The showers are free but you are asked to not use more than three button pushes. My shower in the afternoon was completely COLD and I am not sure if it was the time of day, the particular shower, or user error. My husband’s shower got hot midway through.
Activities/Amenities: All things water-based including jet skis, water skiing, kayaking, SUP, and fishing. There is also a boat wash. There are also numerous trails used for hiking, running, and mountain biking. Other activities include volleyball and horseshoes.
Despite my cold shower and the fact that state parks are becoming increasingly pricy (with reservation and out-of-state fees, we paid $ 77 for two nights for a tent site), we enjoyed our stay here.
Guide
Fish Lake has lots to offer. Good fishing and good camping spots. I have been here many times as it is not far from home. Several spots have approved fire rings. The northeast and northwest campgrounds, you will need a Washington Discovery pass.
Guide
Blue lake has much to offer. Fishing, hiking, camping to name a few. Fishing is barbless only. Several camp sites have approved fire rings. Most of the camping spots have a beautiful view of the lake and valley.
ScoutSunny, spacious tucked away park. Great views. Sandy beach for kids.
GuideWe stayed at Pearrygin Lake State Park the weekend after Labor Day weekend and got a great spot on the lake. Most of the sites are large with lots of privacy and our site was no different. There was a little trail to our semi private beach and kayak launch. The only thing that would have made the site better would have been some strategic trimming of some shrubs blocking our view of the nearby mountain, lake and evening sunset. The grounds and facilities were clean and park staff were quite friendly.
GuideThis is a good basecamp for exploring the North Cascades. We visit Maple Pass, Blue Lake, Cutthroat Lake and other hikes nearby. The campsite is near Wenatchee so it is a bit of a drive to trails but the town and park make a great basecamp for a longer stay.
Guide
Bathrooms were not very clean, there is no phone connection, and the camping spots are not very private. There are some large trees that provide shadow. Deers walking through campsite morning and evening
Scout
Cozy atmosphere with lake access and great amenities including kept up bathrooms/ showers, kayak/ paddleboard rentals, breakfast, and well stocked general store. Campsites have plenty of room to spread out with plenty of common space in the surrounding areasfor outdoor games.
ScoutVery quiet, small lake, boat launch, outhouse
ScoutNice, quiet dispersed camping next to Sullivan Pond near Winthrop Washington. Recommend 4wd with good clearance. Washington Discover Pass required.

Jake from the Dyrt here! Highland Glenn Ranch is new to the Dyrt and offers an awesome spot with a great way to connect with the wilderness in this Northern US Border Ranch. Check them out and make sure to post some pics of your stay!
ScoutIf you think that autumn months are too late to camp, think again. The late September fall colors and temperatures were quite pleasant, and it was very nice to miss the summer crowd. This campsite was really clean, easy to access, friendly and helpful owners. We stayed there a week, loved it and plan to go back.
GuideWe try to stay here at least once each year. What's not to like? It's got mountain views while camping lakeside.
GuideThis long closed campground has finally reopened for camping. The USFS has thinned out the dense tree cover and reopened for the 2023 season just in time for our motorcycle camping club.
Ranger
This is a small, free campground (with pit toilet), picnic tables and fire pits. It's a long drive on bumpy backroads to get here from Winthrop. Four wheel drive isn't necessary, but if you can air down your tires, you'll enjoy the drive much more.
The campground is a the trailhead for Tiffany Lake. I think it's about a mile hike to the lake, without much elevation change. The lake is very pretty and had a nice bench to sit on and eat my lunch.
No bugs in May, but also pretty chilly at night because of the high altitude.
Definitely no cell signal out here!
