Lush campsites with fire rings. 2. Location: Perfectly surrounded by Trout Creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River which makes for surreal camping, epic trout and salmon fishing, and a great site for rafting/kayaking trips. It feels like you're on an island. Easy location to begin hikes from as well. 3. They even have porto-potties (which makes it easier for the ladies)! Located off hwy 2 past the picturesque town of Index WA and on at the end of the Index-Galena road washout. This private campground is owned and operated by Outdoor Adventure Center right in Index. Reservations are required in advanced with the Outdoor Adventure Center (see link). I've stayed here numerous times with family and friends. Highly recommend for family, fishing, hiking, climbing, naturalist, and photographer camping getaways.

Good for quick camp or practice camp for beginning of season. Campground is organized & well groomed. Campsite has tent ready slightly raised foundation area for pitching a large tent for 6 persons comfortably. Picnic table & fire pit on site. We were camped at site 4, across from the restrooms and garbage, less than 20 feet from the water faucet. No showers on site. Camp host has fire wood on site for $8 a bundle. Extra vehicle cost is $8 per night. We had a total of 7 people, 3 tents with lots of room to spare. We really liked campsite #4 as the river was just 10 yards away without being on the creek. Downside is we were able to hear traffic noise, trains and the mosquitoes were relentless!

For those in small campers or tents, this campground is a gem! 23 sites, most walk in tent sites,…read morea couple for truck campers - no bigger. Some with private, peaceful lakeside access. Being the last campground on the south side of Lake Wenatchee makes it a little more remote to reach and results in less traffic and a more peaceful experience than other Lake Wenatchee campgrounds. There is potable water and vault toilets available. We snagged the last site that we could fit in, site 18, and we loved it. It was tiered into the hillside with the picnic table area down from the parking area, and some secluded lakeside access just down from that. A private feeling within a big campground. Great kayaking spot!

This was one of our favorite camp grounds this year. It's pretty close to home, has some nice…read moretrailheads around it, and a beautiful creek bubbling in the background. The road to the camp is a bit of a trekk. It's long, windy, and much of it dirt with pot holes. There's also no cell service out there so be sure to communicate with anyone you're meeting shortly after turning off highway 2. The camp sites themselves are good sized, we easily fit 2 tents and our cars. There was a fire pit and a picnic table too. We had access to the river and enjoyed a nice cold plunge on a warm day. There were several hikes in the area to choose from but we couldn't turn down the incredible Lake Blanca, whose trailhead was only a few minutes away. We look forward to visiting this campground again next year.

The campground at Troublesome Creek is an absolute gem. Located about two hours from any…read moresignificant population base, accessible off of a (mostly) dirt forest service road, you'll marvel at the serenity of this idyllic campground. There are two sides to this campground, an east and a west loop. My spot was on the east loop, space 15 and I'd definitely recommend the spaces on the east loop, as they give you ample privacy with equally ample access to the creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River. No power hookups means you can set the devices aside and worry little about what's happening in the city. Out here, the entertainment is happening in nature. Views of surrounding peaks, the rush of the water as it flows past and as night falls, the dotting of stars in the inky black sky will give you exactly what you need before heading back to civilization. Nature truly is the best. I'll be back to this campground again, no doubt.

I've done this a couple of times so I'll give you the different perspectives…read more The first time I did it as a one-day hike because I did not have a permit. The second time I did it as a three night hike because it was after October 15th and I still didn't have a permit. Since that time, the permit season has been extended to October 30th. Either way, I suggest that hiking in the fall is the prettiest time due to the larch trees colors. Both times we started at the Stuart Lake trailhead (recommended due to reduced overall elevation gain) and ended at the Snow Lake trailhead. Now at the risk of offending someone I will say that hiking through the Enchantments in one day is like watching a porn movie on fast forward. You miss most of the scenery. My suggestion is to either get a permit, or hike outside of season, preferably in the fall, but stay at least two nights. Given that the hike up Aasgard Pass has an elevation gain of 1900 feet in about a mile, I can attest that it can be quite dangerous when raining. On the East side there will be mud & rock slides and in our case we had to duck out of the way of several large, (18 or so inch diameter) Rocks that came bouncing down the boulders with unpredictable direction at a very high rate of speed. Risks early in the season are snow slides and avalanches, so be very aware of the conditions when you are there. All that said, anyone who does not give this a five and tell you that it's absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes you'll ever take on must know something I don't, and I've hiked the Himalayas. Remember that goats are dangerous. Pee on rocks, not soil because the goats will dig it up for the salt. Try not to let a goat see you peeing or it will run towards you. Try fishing in the lakes; the trout are great for dinner up there. You should also know that when coming down toward the Snow Lake trailhead there are a large number of switchbacks and when you see the cars just down the hill, it will likely be another hour before you get there, and if you did it as a day hike, your feet may not be happy when you finally arrive. If you are a hiker, you must find a way to get this one done before you hang up your boots.

We camped here earlier this year, and overall, it's a good spot but not a favorite. Access to the…read morecamping ground was easy, and cell service was only a short 10 min drive towards 90. Also, it's pretty close to North Bend for groceries in case you forgot anything. The campground is large with lots of spots to choose from (if you book well in advance). The campsites themselves were pretty good in size with space for more than one tent. Our sites were close to outdoor toilets, trash, and water access. There were a few of these communical resource points located throughout the campground, but probably not enough as there was frequently a line at the spigot. There is good access to trailheads, but the river beach isn't great. Not any place where you can sit and enjoy it. As one would expect, lots of families the weekend we were there which led to lots of late night noise that wasn't addressed by hosts or parents for that matter. Also, beware driving, even slowly, because of the circular road through the campground. Many people let their little kids ride bikes completely unattended. Was very hazardous even trying to carefully drive around them as they darted back and forth on the road. Campsites were well maintained and clean. Very open sites, which restricts privacy. Overall, tho, this is definitely a solid camping location.

But this campground at the end of a long road off of the freeway is worth the drive. My daughter and I experienced amazing customer service from the hosts as well as the most manicured camping sites I've seen since it has opened. We will most def be returning for many more trips before the season ends. Thanks again to the hosts. One caveat..... something has to be done about the cars speeding through the park before kids show up and start riding their bikes. 5mph people. I asked for the host's name so I could add it to this review but I but I have since forgotten. I will amend this with their names the moment I learn of them again. Bravo!

Hike is pretty steep, constantly uphill for about 3 miles, all in the trees though. Mosquitoes around, bug spray is good. After 3 miles, trail goes down pretty steeply, lake was really pretty, not very cold water! Sat there for a bit to enjoy the water and view, really calming. Didn't see very many people on the trail, had the lake to ourselves. Bad part of the hike is the need to go back uphill after the lake, but it's not too bad. Took 2 hours to get to the lake, 2 hours back, was a bit dark and got a bit cold towards the end of the hike. Hiking poles definitely helped!

It is 11.5 miles, you have to park your car 2 miles before the trail starts which adds up total or…read more4 extra miles. It would be good idea to go on sunny day and start hike early. We went around 8:00am got at lake around 11:30am, only few small breaks and took 3 hours to come back. When we reached the lake it was mesmerizing. Thinks to remember: 1.Take a lot of water and snacks with you. It is hard hike so stay hydrated. 2. Bug spray if needed we had it but did not use it because bugs were not too bad. 3. Go early to beat the heat and this hike requires $5 day use fee and Northwest forest pass. 4. Since it's not 7.5 miles be ready to do extra 4 miles. Total of 11.5miles This hike was hardest hike for us so far but the view worth the hike. I would highly recommend to go there at lest once in life time. The view is breathtaking!!! Good luck, you will love it.!!

Clean facilities| Great location to downtown…read more We rented a trailer and needed a place to stay that was not too far from amenities in Leavenworth. This was an excellent choice. This is a small little RV park and campground, but I love how the owners take excellent care of the place. One guy was always out planting and watering the plants and flowers. Another guy was literally cleaning the bathrooms several times in the day. The restrooms are nice and clean!! (Showers are available too here) The campsites are alright, but if you have preference and/or a group, I highly recommend getting the lots 31, 32, 33 area. Wow, more room, away from the main road, more trees, and a couple boulders to climb on. It looks bigger than the spot we had, which was spot 4, next to the restrooms. Firepits are very small, but we still used it to make s'mores. They also have a little enclosed basketball area. Sites 17-30 are basically next to the main road. You will hear the road noise, especially if you're camping in a tent, but I still like staying at this campground because there's not many other options for an RV park. Across the street is a gas station and Safeway. You're within a minute or two from downtown too. If you're into climbing, you're not that far from Icicle Creek climbing area either. We would stay here again with friends if we camped/rented a trailer again.
