"Loved how close to the river it was was nice white noise throughout the night. Close to town and lake colchuck"
"The campground is fairly quiet. We parked in space 81 so we could hear the raid noise from Icicle Road. Up in this area, the road is paved but lots 76-87 are gravel."
"This campground was mainly for large luxury RV’s - all pushed together on huge concrete pads. There are about 10 spots on the river that are somewhat rustic- private and have full hookups."
"So quiet, leaves changing, crisp weather. Just make sure you have heated water hose"
"Not too crowded in the area yet and very close to home. Would like that they didn’t give the premier sites to tent only, but oh well !"
"Full hookups at all sites. Staff very friendly and helpful. Columbia river right there."
"Blu Shastin was a pretty nice find just a few minutes from popular Leavenworth and Cashmere WA. We got a decent full hookup site (67) that was backed up to the Peshastin river."
"No cell service with T-Mobile. WiFi at the clubhouse. Stay here. Best price only 45 a night full hookups. Will stay her many more times!!"
$10 - $55 / night
"I really like this place, but a lot of it depends on which level site you want to spring for. I’ll start with the cons: camp sites are pretty close together."
"I usually HATE RV resorts due to the fact that many people do not honor quiet hours, the sites are too small, and the grounds are unkept. This was not the case for Smokiam."
$47 / night
"Bathrooms clean hot showers and free Wi-Fi even if it’s a bit spotty depending on your service. Att not the best but it still worked enough."
$35 - $65 / night
"All sites have a view of the Columbia River, and the beach is swimmable. There are trees, but none of the camp-sites are shaded. The sites are level and easy to back into. "
"A lakefront park for swimming and a dock for boats/jet skis etc."
$47 / night
"Pull throughs are nice for Big Rigs. Columbia River and launches, great staff, beautiful views, lots to see and do from wineries, fishing, biking, motorcycling, etc. 1 day lead to 5 days."
LegendCamp here for free for 7 days with a discover pass! 2 pit toilets, fire ring and picnic table at each site. Big areas for RVs, horse trailers and group sites. No water hook ups or dump stations. River access and lots of trails for nature walks. Very beautiful area! I had phone service and I use Sprint.
ScoutGorgeous 2 parks 1/2 mile apart. The Marina Park and this one. Gorgeous plush grass, immaculate kept parks. Pull throughs are nice for Big Rigs. Columbia River and launches, great staff, beautiful views, lots to see and do from wineries, fishing, biking, motorcycling, etc. 1 day lead to 5 days.
GuideFirst visit to Washington and I went camping in my hammock. Perfect cold weather. Unfortunate that the wood was too dry for any fire. Next time!
GuideWe stayed here one night while passing through and wish we could have stayed longer. Very clean facility with lots of amenities for a great price and not far from town. We were able to secure our spot last minute which was nice. We also booked a pull through site since we recently got our pop up camper and knew we may arrive in the dark. It was well worth the extra few dollars. We plan to be back next summer and take full advantage of the campground.
TravelerEven though 99% of the time we boondock, we’ve stayed at this campground twice now. Once in the summer months and now in November. This last stay was FCFS. There isn’t any water hookups any longer for winter but there are many sights that have electric and dump hookups that are still operational. The camp itself is very well maintained. They are all drive through spots with a a picnic table on a concrete pad connected to a small gravel area that has a fire ring. A lot of open grassy area and the sites are definitely spaced far enough apart you don’t feel you’re on top of each other. Even in November, there’s groundskeepers maintaining the sites, leaf blowing, etc. would not hesitate to stay here again!
RangerThe 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.
GuidePark like setting. Pull throughs are right on top of each other. Recommend back in. They water every night, you have to pull everything in, every night. Water came out brown each morning with out a filter.
TravelerArrived around 2pm to the Douglas Creek Trailhead. The 8 miles of road H to get to Douglas Creek Rec area is gravel, primitive -no signs. Hiked the canyon for ~3miles. Lots of groundhogs and birds. Campsites are roughly half mile from the parking lot for hiking. The gravel road here is much narrower, and has more aggressive rocks/stones. Between the parking lot and campsites several large puddles/ponds took over the road. Campsites have pull throughs for RV’s. I chose the third site I saw, steep downhill to the fire pit, but close walk to the creek. The grounds are minimal, no services (no toilets, picnic tables, hookups, trash bins etc). Had no cell service. Weather was in the upper 60’s, no clouds. Perfect getaway.
LegendWe stayed here in February and used the campground as a home base for a XC ski trip. The winter camping area is in the South Campground in what is the summer-time day use area. Tents can set-up near the water in the trees. Vans and RV have to stay in the parking lot. We only had two other groups camping on a Thursday night. Apparently it gets busy even in winter during the week-end. There was an open heated bathroom with shower and a warming hut with a woodstove (not on and no firewood) used by skiers. Views are awesome and access to groomed ski trail network was also right off your steps. Decent AT&T cell reception.
