    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    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.

      Ollalie Creek Camp

      A Hidden Gem Worth Every Mile

      Olallie Creek Campground was one of the absolute highlights of our trip through Mount Rainier. We came in via the Cowlitz Trail on the very first weekend the park opened to backpackers. It was a tough route, spotty markings, no cell service, and a pretty long dry stretch. Definitely bring enough water, a reliable map, and a satellite communicator. Bear spray is a must too. Once you're there though, it's magic. Crystal clear, ice cold creeks that converge around what feels like a little island. The group site is roomy. We set up 2 tents comfortably, and the bucket toilet is tucked away for privacy. Thunderstorms rolled through but only added to the atmosphere. We didn’t see another soul. Just pure quiet. We filtered water, soaked our feet in the creek, and played cards before bed. It’s not luxury, but if you want real backcountry solitude in a beautiful setting, it's hard to beat. It stuck with me, and I can't wait to go back.

      Paradise River Camp

      Creek side solace

      Paradise River Camp was one of the most memorable campsites from our time on the Wonderland Trail. The camp was set beside a creek that provided convenient and reliable water access, making it easy to refill and filter water without having to travel far from the site. The sound of the creek also added to the peaceful atmosphere without being overwhelming. The campsite felt scenic, quiet, and immersed in the landscape. Its location along the Wonderland Trail made it a rewarding place to stop after a day of hiking, and the site layout offered a welcome sense of privacy and separation from other campers. We did not encounter any major drawbacks during our stay. Overall, Paradise River Camp was an excellent and memorable campsite, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We would gladly stay there again.

      Ensign Ranch

      Awesome for families

      Super well maintained, lots of amenities. There is a giant slip-n-slide style water slide that runs all summer. Main thing to know is that you need to have a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints help you book. It’s technically owned by the church but they’re open to visitors using it. No alcohol and I think it’s closed on Sundays.

      Thousand Trails Leavenworth

      Get a site on the river side!

      Great lodge (gym, laundry, games, etc) and pool. Little to no activities or events. Bathhouses are clean and well maintained but not especially nice. So many trails! Great weekend culture. We hit Lake Wenatchee State Park multiple times while here - the best!

      Tinkham Campground

      Beautiful and secluded, but noisy

      We had a great time and really enjoyed how secluded and spaced out many of the spots are. Having gone mid week, there were very few other campers, and it was lovely walking around the campground and strolling along a short 1 mile long trail to a mossy and wooded swamp. The temperature was great, had easy access to the river, and had plenty of shade and space at our site.

      I will not that being so close to the highway does of course mean non-stop road noise, but I found it easy to tune out if I imagined the noise as a close by waterfall :)

      Additionally the “potable water” consisted of one hand cranked pump that took quite a bit of work to get any water out of. Not to mention any water that did come what was rust stained and smelled of iron. That is truly my biggest grievance with this site. If I go again, I will be bringing extra fresh water. I should also note that the bathrooms were very dark, even during the day, and smelled pretty bad, but that’s to be expected from an out house.

      Overall I would go again! It was gorgeous and any noise was easily made up for by the trees and moss and isolated sites ❤️

      Dry Creek Campground

      Amazing spot

      I’d consider this one of my top 3 free camping spots ever, right next to a lake and surrounded by the Cascade Mountains. Spectacular setting and lots of space for folks to set up in this mostly dispersed campsite.

      Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA

      Family focused. Not much shade

      The campground has more asphalt and gravel than nature.

      It is very clean. The staff is very friendly.

      If you don't need the pool, hot tub , garbage pickup restaurant, and kids activities, it might not be a good fit and you are paying for those premium services.

      If you are looking for all of those things this would be a great place to take your family.

      Dry Gulch on Columbia River

      Road of bones

      The road starts as gravel then turns into gravel and large stones. Not an easy road definite 4x4 with good tires, not a Subaru Outback track. Eventually it starts gaining altitude toward the Wild Horse Wind Farm and the road turns to broken basalt rock and volcanic stone and gets pretty sharp. We made it about a mile past the wind farm where the road starts to drop again, and a shard of basalt tore through the sidewall flattening a tire.

      We managed to change a tire and decided that with no spare, continuing would be stupid. We turned back and spent the night near the wind farm and drive out the following day.

      This area is prone to grass fires and getting stuck would be pretty serious. Areas with no cell service, one lane road, grass scab land, volcanic rock and occasional sage brush.

      Not a trail I’d advise for a single vehicle.

      Staying at the wind farm there is awesome star viewing, near constant wind and you can hear the wind generators in the background.
