Windy Point Campground

First time visiting this side of Washington, and the weather definitely disappoint. It was pretty dang hot here in the summer, more of a desert type of feel. We were super worried about rattlesnakes because we heard this part of Washignton has tons during the summer, but luckily we didn't see any. It rained the last day we were here, which was a nice change of weather. The hiking was great, so much beautiful greenery and trees! The campground was "okay." It wasn't really that well kept, a little dirty and no toilet paper in the gross porta-potty style toilet. The toilet area smelt SO bad! It was like it hadn't been clean in a really long time. The campground is fairly small, probably 15 sites? The sites are pretty close together, luckily there was only about 5 other families there when we were there. I wouldn't come back to this campground, but would probably come back to the area to do more hiking. Maybe not in the summer, though, more like the fall.

Okay campground, good hiking

I wanted to introduce my boyfriend and his dog to camping and make sure they liked it. This place was perfect. Beautiful scenery (spots 4 and 6 were the only ones with river views). 

  

Spot 4 is very spacious, with a more private beach area. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. This campground is right off the highway, so you do hear ocasional road noise. The river is pretty loud though. Bugs were not bad and had no issues with critters trying to check you out at night. The spot is windy, but didn’t have too much of an issue getting the fire going. Other campsites were occupied, but didn’t really see or hear them. I still had plenty of internet, so didn’t feel too disconnected. Overall, it was a great spot for introducing someone to camping.

Perfect for first timers

I was in space 9 with a view of a waterfall. That was pretty great. It was late June and unseasonably hot. The river was extremely cold and running fast due to the snow melt so I didn't spend time in the water.  The water in the hose wasn't clear so I wouldn't use it for drinking without boiling but the 🚻 are clean and stocked. I enjoyed my time there and recommend it for a peaceful camping experience.
