Chill little campground in a beautiful river

We got Site 13. HUGE. Big huge site with no direct neighbors that backs up to the Tieton river, which is accessible from the site. Super nice to hear rushing water 24/7 at camp. Sites were clean, vault toilet bathroom was clean as can be. The camp hosts came and said hello, very friendly people. We set up camp around the fire pit but spent most of our time sitting on the riverbanks and watching the clear, cold water rush by. We really liked this site for our low key low stress car camping trip. More serious campers probably won’t be interested in this campsite, but casual camping city slickers like my group had a good time here.

River views and a private beach

A ginormous site right on the Tieton River (seriously, you could fit like 4 tents on this site). Two walkdowns directly from your site to the river, giving you a (very small) private “beach.” Vault toilet was clean; water tap and trash station on the campground. The river is loud and drowns out the traffic from US-12 well. We camp here every year.

Campground Alongside HWY 12

This campground is right next to HWY 12, therefore you hear loud road traffic at all hours of the day.  The spots are pretty open and some are pretty close together so little to no privacy.  I was in site 4 which had a lovely view of one of the pit toilets, but if you put your back to the bathroom it did have a nice view of the trees. Not my favorite camp spot, but in a pinch it worked.

Right on the river.

2020 prices in the photo. Clean camp with multiple water points. There's 4 or 5 spots large enough for an RV away from the river. Several flat tent camping spots along the river.

We found the location a little noisy because HWY12 run along the north side of the park.

Nice forest service camp

This campground is right on the river. The sites were level and plenty of room to spread out. There are pit toilets and a were clean with plenty of tp. It is recommended to reserve on busy holiday weekends.

Nice, small, quiet

It is like you'd expect from a national Forest campground. Has 2 pit toilets. One was closed. The other had plenty of tp and was fairly clean. The handle was broken though so it didn't lock properly. There was a note on the door to knock. It is next to the river and a short drive to Rimrock lake. Great fishing and boating at the lake. The river was muddy when I was there but I heard that is not normal and was caused by flash rains or snow melt (different people had different theories.) There is no running water, but there is a water well pump (manual pump) that gives clean drinking water. You can buy firewood up the road a little ways when there is no fire ban. You aren't allowed to bring your own firewood because they want to prevent the transfer of invasive species. Buy it where you burn it.
