Kachess Campground and Lake Easton State Park accept pets while providing different amenity levels for campers with dogs. Both locations offer designated pet areas where dogs must remain leashed, with Lake Easton providing more developed facilities including showers and electric hookups that appeal to RV campers traveling with pets. Some campsites at Lake Easton have raised tent pads that keep sleeping areas dry and protected from black ants that occasionally overrun certain sites. The campgrounds enforce standard pet policies requiring owners to clean up after their animals and prevent excessive barking, particularly during quiet hours.
Wish Poosh Campground's wooded sites offer privacy for tent campers with dogs, though the campground has limited amenities with no drinking water available. Wildlife encounters, including bears, have been reported near campsites, requiring pet owners to maintain control of their dogs and secure food properly. Dogs can enjoy access to Lake Cle Elum when water levels permit, though the swimming areas can be quite cold even in summer months. Roslyn and Cle Elum are within driving distance for pet supplies or veterinary services. The nearby forest service roads provide excellent options for walking dogs beyond the campground boundaries. For those seeking more amenities, Whispering Pines RV Campground offers full hookups while still accommodating pets in a more developed setting.

ScoutIt was fairly easy to get to this area however despite our best efforts we only found one established campsite with a fire ring. Road getting here was mostly paved with some debris on the roadway. We lost GPS signal just before arriving and passed NF200. I gave 3 stars because we were unable to locate other sites. Maybe it was just me but we drove quite a while on NF200 and only found the one right at the entrance.
TravelerCute spot! Spots are tight. Water, electricity, showers and bathroom. Cute lil' dog park that is also a wedding venue. Great stop right before Mt. Rainier. We stayed in spot #10 a little tight for a 27ft camper, but we made it work!
TravelerNice, clean, & beautiful overnight stop. There were plenty of sites to choose between, we stayed in site 11 since we were departing early. Like other reviews stated, no water or cell service but that’s to be expected.
TravelerThe heated bathrooms with showers were definitely comfort on our cross country road trip. We arrived after hours but because we already had made reservations that morning we were able to use the slider and enter the campground. Star gazing is always top priority. We headed down to the lake’s beach to snap some shots with my iPhone 14 Pro night, setting on a tripod and remote.
RangerIt was MAGICAL- mushrooms, fall leaves, and moss everywhere. Keep in mind that there’s no signal, Starlink nor cell.. we also were freezing at night (35 degrees) in early October and the spots were tricky for our bigger rig. But if you have a smaller rig there’s tons of places off of road 73 for dispersed camping. Bumpy road to get there but keep on driving and you’ll find places with even firepits.
GuideIt's really a great little gated park that's fairly affordable. Unfortunately, it's right off the highway and on the other side of the river are the train tracks. Both are quite active. Otherwise this is a 5-star. Office folks were friendly and helpful.
LegendRoad closures due to a bridge out closed off probably the better sites up top but we did find a great spot off the road with a view. Enjoyed a nice evening under the stars and a campfire.
LegendWe spent a pleasant evening in this beautiful park. Facilities are clean and well kept. Sites are spread out with plenty of grassy area between each site.
ScoutDriving here from Graham washington, I passed so many camp spots I was shook lol. Amazing camp site for free, I believe u need discover pass. the water is beautiful not many people here so many spots by the water Amazing, where i am u definitely need high clearance to even be close to water, Unless u tent camp away from your vehicle which is not far there are a lot of spots everywhere. The water moves fast and your up high bring your hammocks.
The Roslyn area of Washington sits at approximately 2,200 feet elevation in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Campgrounds near Roslyn experience distinct seasonal changes with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters that typically close many sites from mid-October through May. Water levels in Lake Cle Elum and Kachess Lake fluctuate dramatically throughout the camping season, often exposing extensive lakebeds by late summer.
Hiking access for all levels: Teanaway Campground serves as an excellent base for hiking enthusiasts. "About a 20 minute drive from Clu Elum. Free with a Discovery Pass but no one checked while I was there. Plenty of spots even late on a Friday," reports Katy W. The campground connects to a network of trails suitable for both casual walkers and serious hikers.
River activities: Salmon La Sac offers excellent water access with two rivers meeting at the campground. "Old growth forests abound, camp sites were spacious and private. Fishing is available from two rivers the Cooper and the Cle-Elum both within walking distance from the site," notes Donald C. The streams provide good fishing opportunities for trout when water levels and temperatures are favorable.
Mountain biking trails: Teanaway Campground features direct access to mountain biking routes. "Lots of people. Was quiet at night during our stay. River access for the kids. If you are a mountain biker, this spot will not disappoint with the trail system right out of camp," shares Silas. The trails range from beginner to advanced difficulty with most suitable for intermediate riders.
Well-spaced campsites: Kachess Campground receives consistent praise for site layout and privacy. "The camp sides had good space separating them. oh and the bathrooms didn't smell. I loved staying here," says Tori W. Sites are arranged to maximize privacy while still allowing access to amenities.
River sounds for sleeping: Campers consistently mention the soothing background noise at riverside sites. "It's gorgeous at Kachess, and smells like heaven. Check it out sometime," reports Pete B. The white noise from flowing water helps mask other campground sounds and contributes to better sleep quality.
Natural swimming areas: Wish Poosh Campground provides lake access without developed facilities. "The lake is walking distance and provides plenty of space for everyone to splish and splash around although the water is quite cold but wonderful," notes Kimmy G. Swimming areas vary with water levels but typically feature gradual entry points suitable for wading.
Seasonal challenges: Late summer camping at Kachess Lake Lakebed comes with specific considerations. "Great boondocking. We made it fine in our 26ft class c, but the big sharp-edged rocks were concerning to drive over... But the lake level was really low when we stayed there, so there was plenty of available space for camping," explains Laura M.
Wildlife awareness: Black bears are active throughout the Roslyn area camping zones. "On our first night, a bear passed by one of our neighbor's site so make sure you clean up after yourselves and don't leave food out at night," warns Kimmy G. about Wish Poosh Campground. Bear-proof food storage is essential at all sites.
