Swakane Canyon cuts through Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife land northeast of Cashmere, reached by over four miles of poorly maintained gravel road. Getting there takes effort. Campers should expect a rough drive in and, depending on where vehicles can park, a walk to the actual camping area. The site has one fireplace, so checking current fire ban status before arriving is essential. Campfires are permitted when bans are not active, pets are welcome, and cell service is available. Those looking for campgrounds near Swakane will find several other dispersed options in the surrounding wildlife areas worth comparing before committing to the drive.
