Best Campgrounds near Wauconda, WA

We have stayed here two times, with our little starlight Tent Trailers. Almost a week each time. The setting is beautiful. The lake is clean and full of fish!!

Bald eagles, Loons, turtles, even Moose & Bears ! The resort office has a small cafe and store. This resort has been around for many years and is a bit run-down. Some their old log cabins are looking like very old log cabins. Wonderful if you don't care about level floors. They also have a multi-room motel if you want that instead. Common Bathrooms that also show their age. 

There are boat docks, with slips for rent. Paying the dock fee or camping covers the Indian reservation recreation fee. An Indian reservation fishing license is required here, but not a Washington State License. If you have a WA license, you still need the Reservation License.

One sign says open another says closed.

Nice park beside very slow river adjacent to busy road. No dogs on grass. Garbage. Picnic tables. Shaded. Stay 72 hours. Warm shower. Flush toilet. $10/night/vehicle or tent

This campsite was overall a really good time! There's a trail that leads to the water for any of the campers or visitors to go swim at, site 13 had its own trail down to the water which was so fun to have easy access too! If you want a site with a beautiful view and flat tent spots site 9 and 10 also looked beautiful!

If you plan to stay at the walk in sites I recommend bringing a wagon! The walk from car to campground is not far but there is a decent hill you have to walk down to the campsite.

Pit toilet was nice and well taken care of! The hand sanitizer was out, but otherwise very clean. The only toilet is at the parking lot, so it's a short walk from the campsites.

The other downside was bugs! SO many bee's! Especially when we ate we had to walk with our food to keep the bee's away we never got stung though!. And mosquitos at night were bad but all of it was manageable with big spray!

Overall a great campsite, if you go during the week you might have the walk in sites all to yourself, not crowded and lots of fun!

Difficult to find a spot that accommodates a 30-ft rig but I managed a pull out on the side of the road with not too much dust. Beautiful silence, amazing Blue Skies and Forest all around, Fantastic waking up to dense fog.

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.

Right on the Lake, has water Filling Station and Dump Also Boat ramp A bunch of small Flies, they don’t bite

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.

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

Chip & Bunny are the greatest hosts! We had to leave a day early (without notice) due to the fires being close to our home and they refunded the one night back to us without even being asked. We surely didn’t expect that! We will be back again.

Very quiet, small lake, boat launch, outhouse

I enjoyed staying in the screen house cabin and will definitely be back. Lots to do in the area if you like fishing, hiking, biking, horses, and much more. I had a great campfire and watched a mama bear and her cub on the hill beyond the cabin!  Also saw deer in the driveway and the night sky was awesome with NO lights in any direction except the stats!

Great hosts and everything you need!

Jake from the Dyrt here!  Highland Glenn Ranch is new to the Dyrt and offers an awesome spot with a great way to connect with the wilderness in this Northern US Border Ranch.  Check them out and make sure to post some pics of your stay!

Super quiet

This long closed campground has finally reopened for camping. The USFS has thinned out the dense tree cover and reopened for the 2023 season just in time for our motorcycle camping club.

This is a small, free campground (with pit toilet), picnic tables and fire pits. It's a long drive on bumpy backroads to get here from Winthrop. Four wheel drive isn't necessary, but if you can air down your tires, you'll enjoy the drive much more.

The campground is a the trailhead for Tiffany Lake. I think it's about a mile hike to the lake, without much elevation change. The lake is very pretty and had a nice bench to sit on and eat my lunch.

No bugs in May, but also pretty chilly at night because of the high altitude.

Definitely no cell signal out here!
