Riverbend RV Park maintains a fenced dog run area where pets can exercise off-leash, though leashes are strictly required throughout the rest of the campground, including at individual sites. Both tent and RV campers with pets can access this spacious pet area while staying at full-hookup sites along the Methow River. Winthrop/N. Cascades National Park KOA Holiday and Pine Near RV Park also welcome pets with designated pet-friendly accommodations including cabins. Most campgrounds in the area enforce standard leash policies, with Riverbend's camp hosts being particularly vigilant about enforcement. Black Pine Lake Campground allows pets on leash with clean, well-maintained facilities. The male host at Riverbend can be somewhat militant about dogs off leash, even when contained within individual campsites.

When temperatures rise during summer months in the Methow Valley, early morning or evening walks are recommended to prevent paw pad burns.

TravelerWe’ve stayed here before, and each time the stay has been wonderful! Our first time was when an unexpected snowfall happened (over 2 feet) while camping. One of the hosts let us stay in the laundry area to stay warm, and even offered one of the cabins to cook in to stay out of the elements. The RV park is wonderfully kept and the facilities is all regularly cleaned. It’s a short walk onto the main strip of Winthrop.
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.
TravelerThe road up is well taken care of and there are great views of the neighboring peaks.
If you are looking to hike goat peak or fox mountain this is an ideal location.
LegendEnjoyed a couple nights relaxing at this great spot. A couple of visitors drove through to check out the river but we were the only ones camping. We stayed at the back at the site with beach access.
LegendNice large spot bug enough for a few rigs. Big rig friendly as well. There are 2 separate fire rings far enough away from eachother that 2 parties could be down here. Easy Access to the river.
Ground is very sandy so be cautious during wet weather. No trash all over the place which is so lovely.
Didnt have any issues with bugs.
Not many cars drove by on the FS road throughout the day.
TravelerBig open lot good for night stay for free. We came around 9pm and found a spot with no problem, it was very quiet and the toilets are exceptionally clean.
GuideWe originally drove up NF-51 to check out Falls Creek Campground (which is also beautiful) and discovered this gem! While there is no fee per night to camp, a Discover Pass is required (unless you already have a Vehicle Access Pass issued with the purchase of an eligible hunting or fishing license).
No potable water or hookups available. Very stinky pit toilet. Fire rings at sites but there was a ban in place when we were there.
There was plenty of room when we were here, but I would imagine it is very busy during the summer and hunting season.
RangerBeautiful setting Hot clean showers Good cell service Leave it Better Than you found it!
ScoutIt was sooo fun and there was a bear and a cougar but there left us but u have to give it food but we did encounter coyotes which were not fun at all so do not leave your kids alone and there is some random small graves crosses all over like the lamb at Novi walks around
