Peaceful hideaway

The site is pretty great! Good spacing between neighborhoods, facilities on site, clean grounds, and the host was very kind and helpful! Will be returning in the near future!

Great Spot on Cascade River Road

Spent two night in mid-July at Mineral Park and had a lot of fun! We were in spot number 5 in the East loop. As another review mentioned, spots 5 and 6 were pretty close together. With the sound of the River in the background, though, we really couldn’t hear our neighbors at all. Bathrooms were probably the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a campsite. No potable water, and firewood is for sale at another campground about 5 miles away. Lots of great hikes nearby.

That was a close one.

We had a great time here, enjoying the views, the river, the walking trails and even surrounding gems. Our campsite (6) was great. Tent space is 30 ft away from kitchen space, which is fine. I will note that in our site, our kitchen/fire pit space was probably only 10’ away from our neighbors to the left. One might want to book both sites if you’re not in the mood for a potluck lunch.

Aside from the close living spaces, this campground was fun. Close to the river, close enough to the road if you’re wanting a more paved path to explore.

The Camp Ranger was so cool. She was very friendly, hospitable, super knowledgeable, and even went out of her way to bring us back some firewood. I wish I had written her name down, but I’m sure we’ll meet again if she’s still there.

Along the Cascade River, Easy Access to Cascade Pass

Just 7 miles from the Cascade Pass parking lot, this National Forest campground along the Cascade River has 12 or so campsites, clean and well stocked pit toilets (though a bit stinky when we were there). Good tent pads, nice sites with firepits/grates, trash, but no potable water. Bring a water purifying device to pull water from the river. We thought this campground was great, but overpriced at $12 per site due to no running water. Sites along the river are reservable via HooDoo Reservations. Note: There is a Mineral Park Campground East as well, just up the road and across the bridge.
