Chewuch Campground

Wasn’t totally thrilled with our stay here. Just a basic site near a river. Nothing special.

Nice and clean campground.

This is your typical Forest Service campground. It has pit toilets throughout (that were clean enough) the campground as well as water spigots. No hookups but the setting is great with big trees Tent campers get the better sites near the river. We didn't see a camp host (the host site was empty) but I believe one from another campground comes by to check on things.

Camped at Chewuch a couple nights after dropping our daughter off at college. We were pleasantly surprised to reach this near empty campground after finding Falls Creek CG and every “dispersed” site along the way full up. We pulled into Chewuch and found a wonderfully secluded (on all sides) site (#10) that was perfect for our Rooftop Tent rig. Beautifully treed with large Ponderosas and a very nice view of a mountain peak from the dining/sitting area. We even had our own private trail to the river - just a perfect spot! Very nice and knowledgeable CG hosts (7 years here). Exceptionally clean restrooms. While here be sure to visit Falls Creek Falls and the Old West town of Winthrop.

The Chewuch river is crystal clear. We love staying out here. Quiet campground with easy access to the river. Usually you can fish here but this year there was a strict no fishing rule. We still enjoyed the stay. Hot and dry. Super smoky this time of year from surrounding forest fires. No fires allowed this time of year either!
