Easy find, lots of room

Lots of space for big groups, but it does get crowded on the weekend. Lots of little secluded spots which are more quite at night. Easy river access from all camp spots. Great trees for hammocks, ect. Would not recommend a low clearance vehicle; big rocks and roots on most roads.

Good spot, can be busy

Been here a few times and was able to get a spot right by the river each time. It gets pretty packed on the weekend but opens up during the week. Lots of people floating down the river. Beware of burn bans.

Somewhat primitive

We’ve been coming here for years now. Spots fill up fast! You can float the river down to Cle Elum lake. Once the weather warms up the river lowers and slows down. Lots of area for kids to create their little pools to swim in. Outhouses are sparse so bring tp. Very peaceful. Up at the end of salmon la sac road you will find trails and beautiful alpine lakes. There is a “last resort” store 20-30 mins from the camp sites.
