  Klipchuck Campground

  Wonderful in late October !

  I made an epic cross country trip. I stayed here on my first night out as I left the West Coast, and on my last night before I got home on my way back from the East. This campground is extremely quiet in October. All the facilities were shut down at that point, so in October, it's a perfect place for someone who doesn't need water and bathrooms. I've heard, however that the camp host does a really good job when the facilities are being maintained. It's far enough off the highway, that it's very quiet. There are hiking trails nearby. The sights are large with lots of trees. My second night there was one of the best camping nights ever. It was just before Halloween, and it snowed that night. What could be more special?

  Early Winters Campground

  Quiet and empty in October

  I'm doing a cross-country trip, and this was the first campsite I stayed at. I just saw a sign for it on the side of highway 20. I pulled off about a mile from the highway, and there it was. There was nobody there in October when I was there.

  Early Winters Campground

  Mazama trip

  This is a great little campground! There are 2 areas split by the highway. We stayed on the north side close to the creek. It was fairly quiet, minimal road noise. Clean pit toilets, water available, and $15/night was a great option. Close to several hiking and biking areas and Mazama general store. Great weather at the end of September other than a night with some high winds. We'll definitely be back!

  Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground

  Great park in amazing country

  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.

  Toats Coulee- State Forest

  Nice clean campground

  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.

  Sherman Pass Overlook Campground

  Simple Stop with Lovely Views

  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.

  Lone Ranch Park

  Great river view!

  Undeveloped 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.

  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

  Pine Near RV Park

  It's a place to stay

  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.

  Bridgeport State Park Campground

  Camping in a field close to everyone

  The negative review is strictly for the camping, the park itself overall is nice. But the majority of the camping is surrounding a large open grass area, with all the spots very close to each other. Sitting next to the fire pit in my spot, the neighbors vehicle next to me was less than 25 feet away. Just no privacy whatsoever.

  To be fair, I expected that, I didn't come here for a see no people experience. Was just part of a personal mission to visit every state park in WA. But I want to share the experience for others who may be considering camping here, so they are prepared.

  The park itself is nice, right on a large lake (a dammed portion of the Columbia River) with opportunities to swim, fish, boat, paddle board, etc. And I recommend taking a hike or bike ride along the nicely paved path down to see the dam (just be on the look out for rattlesnakes).

  Winthrop/N. Cascades National Park KOA Holiday

  North Cascades Camp

  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.

  Osoyoos Lake Veterans Memorial Park

  Really nice, spacious park

  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.

  Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground

  Lake and mountains!

  General: 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.

  Fish Lake #4

  Discovery Pass Required

  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.

  Blue Lake South

  Beautiful Lake.

  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.

  Black Pine Lake Campground

  Great day use or long weekend Lake side getaway

  I have been here a few times during travels through the area. We typically stop here to swim, paddle board and relax after cruising the North Cascades and the PCOR and to rinse/cool off after a few days of dispersed camping locally. This a nice lake to swim, paddle board, kayak, canoe and fish at. It has a decent day use parking area, boat launch and clean bathrooms if just passing through. An upper and lower campgrounds with plenty of spacious spots if staying longer. It can fit full size vehicles with campers or smaller trailers, overland vehicles with roof top tents, ground tents, hammocks etc.  Some spots can even fit multiple vehicles for RTT owners. It gets pretty packed during weekends but clears out by mid Sunday afternoon and would be a great pass through spot during mid week or early Thursday evening to snag a spot. Big loops for walking dogs on leash, small trail around lake and a dock for jumping in for a swim. Boat launch is for small boats maybe no more than 10-14 ft, canoes or kayaks. No motors. Will definitely be coming back to stay next summer for longer.

  Foggy Dew Campground

  Creek side camping oasis

  Just far enough off the road and nestled between two creeks, this small but spacious camp ground offers a nice roadside oasis to spend the long weekend or just an overnight for overlanders making miles. It also offers some great local hikes, a waterfall close by and plenty of trails to explore by truck or by foot in the immediate area. Its usually not to busy even though it only has a few sites but best to get here early Thursday evening, early Friday or come during week as it probably fills up fast on a Saturday. We have only been through later on Sunday or Monday passing through on the PCOR and nobody was there. Its a great little campground with a beautiful creek on both sides. Plenty of room for ground tents, and even Car campers/Overlanders/Roof top tents in certain sites. Highly recommend if passing through.

  Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground

  Great Lake

  We 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.

  Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground

  Beautiful quiet campground near Wenatchee & great hikes in the N. Cascades

  This 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.

  Decent campground

  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

  Columbia Cove RV Park

  50/50

  The camp host is fantastic but set your expectations. The swimming pool that is attached is not open on weekends. So that’s a bummer. The sites are narrow and you’re literally within a neighborhood, with views of the homes available at every site. Anglers have the advantage, with the boat launch right there. Benefits - 30 minutes from Chelan, fairly inexpensive $50 a night for full hookup) and the countryside is beautiful. This is not a suitable site for big rigs. We have a 22 foot and it was pretty tight.

  Wonderful!

  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.
