"Minutes from Winthrop"
"However we still had a great time hanging out at the lakeside beach area, it’s dog friendly, hot weather, and close to downtown Winthrop for great shopping and food!"
"The Winthrop KOA is similar and on par with most other KOA campgrounds, as far amenities go."
"This KOA is a great campground, it's clean, it's centrally located to the town of Winthrop and there are close by amenities for groceries, etc. A very kid friendly place to stay as well."
$20 / night
"Easy access to trails, river, and the towns of Mazama and Winthrop which are known for great hiking, climbing, mountain biking, etc."
"Close to the small town of Winthrop and near two cold and refreshing snow fed bodies of water (Early Winters Creek and the Methow River) perfect for cooling off in the hot summer."
"Only a short block walk into the heart of Winthrop which has all amenities, restaurants, micro brews, shopping etc. Very clean restrooms, ( $1.00 for a 2 minute shower) laundry available"
"Nice greasy sites, trees, a block up from the charming town of Winthrop. Nice restrooms and laundry."

"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."
"There's decent climbing close by at Goat Wall (5.2 miles from the campground)."
GuideMany available spots, even on a Sunday prior to Labor Day. Campsite cost is $20 per night plus $2 in fees. Each site was very clean, with picnic table, fire pit, and a pretty flat tent pad. Pit toilets were very well maintained, and water spigots were at every other site. Would come again, highly recommend. Only payment option is to “Scan & Pay” where you scan the QR code with the recreation.gov app and you get a confirmation number, which you write down on your site post (once you get service the app will charge your card). No cash options afaik.
LegendThis campground is in such a beautiful setting! Big trees, piles of moss, and lots of ferns. Mostly tent campers, so it feels like actual camping. Unfortunately, no showers, but there are flushing toilets. My only real complaint is because of the popularity of the place, you do have noisy families and poor camp etiquette (ex: running to your cars a lot, slamming doors, headlights flashing at night, beeping your car to lock it... etc.)
LegendNice campground. We stayed at a lovely site just a short walk from the river. The vault toilets were HORRIBLE though. The Scan & Go is also a rip off. You HAVE to use the system, and it's $20 PLUS fees. There's a 14-day stay limit, but I could only book 4 of my 5 nights at one time ($20/night plus $10 fee) and the final night I had to book the morning of ($20 plus $2 fee). Sporadic cell service here--weak, but great with a booster.
GuideNothing special. Just a parking lot a little off the highway. People are rolling in untill about 10:30 and start leaving at 6. Clean pit toilet. Nothing wrong with it, great place just to sleep and keep moving.
ScoutTwo Loops. Loop off the lake has larger sites with more privacy and view of the cliffs. The loop in the lake has lake views but the sites are on top of each other with no privacy. There are concessions for the kids on a large grass beach area with floats you can use. The view is amazing.
ScoutRelaxing stay, great panoramic water view and excellent customer service. Our dogs were happy playing in the water and watching the deer, geese and herons. Good WiFi. I really liked the bistro lights in the evening. We drove through the other 2 campgrounds in the area to compare - Shady Pines was definitely the best choice!
ScoutSeveral car sized pull outs along a dirt road, very close to the main road. Has a bathroom. In a very wooded area, not many views.
ScoutA good, last minute get-away by the river and beautiful scenery. We appreciated the off-leash dog space! A bit of extra care to the grounds could really make this place quite nice. This is a great location for day trips.
TravelerNot a camp area per se. it is a pull off which is easy to miss that several people have used for camping and built a fire ring. There is only room for one tent or one camper van. Not trailer or full RV. Views are pretty but you can’t sit outside your tent or vehicle and see the lake. You have to walk to edge to see it. Had hoped to stay a few nights but not finding it worthwhile. Long way to go for one night and no tree shade from sun on a hot day. You just bake. Wouldn’t make a trip back.
