Amazing for kids and adults and it's only two minutes from downtown Cle Elum! I will say I'm very snobby about my campgrounds .

We located this RV park online as they had availability for arrival on a Thursday/departure on a Friday. Contact was made and it went extremely well as they were very knowledgeable and recommended the best way to maneuver our long 5th wheel into a spot that was adjacent to the pond. It was super easy to find. Layout was well planned out. The spots were plentiful. The pond is amazing for dogs. The pathways around the park - including to the Yakima River were well kept. The facilities were great and their store is one of the best I've ever been in. Highly recommend this park! We will be back

The views on this hike warrant a five star review for sure! Loads of waterfalls, mountains, and of…read morecourse trees and flowers to see on this route up to Rachel Lake. The problem? Not a clear trail at all. My hiking group and I found ourselves asking, "Is this trail?", numerous times on this extremely strenuous seemingly endless uphill trek to the lake. Now, granted, some of our group was in better shape than others and managed the physicality of the trail better than others but still we all agreed it was extremely hard. First you drive up a gravel road approximately 6 miles to get to the parking lot. One bathroom is available there which wasn't too gross. Once you enter the trail it starts heading up. And up and up and up. It is seemingly endless. I believe it about 4 plus miles up. The trail starts out fairly marked and easy to follow. Then it doesn't. Unfortunately I got separated from my group for a good portion of this hike due to my attempt to stay with the "faster" ladies, lol. I just kept going up. Thank goodness a few other people passed me to let me know I was on the right track. No trail at all really for a good portion and I merely followed a dry creek trail. Extremely rocky and loads of bushwhacking. I had to stop every five to ten feet to catch my breath. The steepness reminded me of a hike in Big Sur called Garrapata which after I competed that one I said I would never do again, lol. Now to the good parts of the hike. Gorgeous scenery beyond words! Loads of amazing waterfalls as you are following a creek flowing from a lake high above. The lake was outstandingly beautiful. I took a quick dip in the icy water at the top! Quickly it changed my outlook on the hike and cooled me off. Will I do it again? Maybe, but next time. I will bring more snacks for the hike that give me energy. I will start out slower and take more frequent deliberate breaks. And please please don't forget your mosquito repellent! Also, long pants as a large portion of this hike you go through tall grasses and overgrowth. I consider myself an experienced hiker when I was in CA, but here in WA, I am a beginner for sure. Stay hydrated and go at your own pace. This is worth it at least once. SYOY and No FOMO for me here! Lol.

Unfortunately, the trail is not marked well and we went off path and up towards different falls a couple times but going off trail was worth it for the extra couple views we saw!

If you get one of the sites on the creek, you're in business. However, at $15 a night for a single…read moresite, there's only a few sites that come close to warranting such a high fee. Most of the sites didn't seem to have much space for tents. I stayed during the week, and this place was deserted, but based on other websites, and the number of signs regarding dirtbikes, I suspect this camp is overrun with noisy ORV's on weekends. The road to the campground is paved the entire way, save for some potholes. No cell phone reception, but you're camping, you'll live. Also, the fishing is mediocre. I caught several small trout while fly fishing near the campground.

This is a nice campground. We ride offroad motorcycles and you can ride directly from camp but it's…read morea managed campground so it's not at all "over-run" with dirtbikes. People who are camping here ride from camp to the traihead across the road but no bikers are riding around in the campground. The sites at the creek are nice and at $15 a night it's a bargain (no pass of any sort required!) It's gravel in the campground but paved to the entrance. There are vault style toilets and I say no water faucets so bring what you need. A lot of folks with RVs use the place. Quite family friendly!

I really want to start this by saying that the folks who run this are excellent! Very kind and very…read morevery helpful. Tha bathrooms and grounds are clean. The game room is ecclectic. It felt like I was stepping into my grandparents basement which was somehow a sweet feeling. It has things to do in there, however also a whole whole lot of random things mixed in that are dusty which makes it feel like a storage basement or attic. The hard parts: The camp ground sold to us online was VERY different than what we received. See pictures attached. The listing shows a picture of T6 with trees and privacy. Upon arrival we notice a completely open space with what appeared to be a hoarder living behind us. There was no separation between sites so we moved the picnic tables, because otherwise our kids would be surrounded by that persons junk. This was very disappointing. We felt that this person should be required to not camp or "live like this" in such a space. Otherwise if allowed, than at least close that camp site as it looks, "ick." There was also a community port a potty 15 feet from where we slept. While convenient... not many want that downbreeze smell. The freeway is extemely loud which to me felt like white noise, but it drove my husband crazy. This was a very sweet family feel campground, however due to the misleading of what we were getting as a camp site, camping next to a hoarder / what felt like a condemned home and sleeping within feet of an outhouse... this will be a last option camp site.

Well...when we first arrived and saw trailers in a big open field, we thought CRAP this sucks…read more.. But once we traveled farther, the campground itself was actually quite beautiful. Lots of trees with the sun shining through and birds chirping pleasantly in the morning. Now the negative :( We requested two sites next to each other so we could be side by side and set up our tables and chairs and enjoy a full circle. Ha! We got two sites bumper to bumper. Not only that, but we had to pull in with our doors facing AWAY from our campsite, so no room to open our awning, set up chairs and enjoy our outside lights in the evening. Not only THAT, but there was only ONE covered area for both sites. Now picture this...what if you were put there with people you don't know??? The front trailer has the covered area, the back spot has...NOTHING. And lastly. The site was totally at a slope going DOWN to the covered area. Tough for old folks (we aren't that old, so we were okay. Lol!) Just word to the wise, ask lots of questions about your site when booking.

This was our first camping experience!…read more We had heard there were some spots where you could just drive in and see if there was some camping space available, but since this was our first time we didn't really want to risk it and reseved spot 044 online through recreation.gov. When we got there our spot was ready to go! It was a great area right next to the creek so we had some amazing soothing sounds at night, the very clean restrooms were just a 3 minute walk away, and we had some lovely neighbors. One of the main things for us was: we needed working toilets, water, and a dog-friendly space. Salmon la Sac was a great fit in all of these areas. The one thing I'll say is our spot (044) was hit HARD by the sun most of the day, and since we went there in early August it got real hot real fast. The guys who were camping right next to us (I believe they must've been either 042 or 046) had literally the best spot since it still had the creek right in front of them, but they also were in a shaded area, so if you go there, try to get that one!

I am in LOVE with the Salmon La Sac campground area! We stayed here for Memorial Day Weekend and…read morehad a blast. The area is approximately 2 hours away from Seattle via 1 - 90 and North 903. There are multiple trails in the area with a range of difficulties for every type of hiker. The campsites can be reserved but some are on a first come first serve basis. If at all possible try to rent one by the river for some great views! We were lucky enough to have a campsite right next to the river and enjoyed it thoroughly. The campsites include picnic tables, fire pits, and great locations for tents. There are vault toilets and water pumps located throughout the campground. I am definitely coming back here again...I was even hesitant to post a review on Yelp because I want to keep it a secret so they don't get overbooked. I highly recommend this campground for a inexpensive way to treat your family and friends to a great time in a spectacular atmosphere.

I am in love the the Lake Ingalls hike! My friend and I arrived at the trailhead Sunday morning…read morejust before 8 a.m. and already counted 120 cars at the trailhead. We parked about 0.3 miles from the trailhead. Cars lined both sides of the narrow road, despite a sign indicating for folks to only park on one side. There were some very questionable parking jobs on edges and cliffs. There was a small line waiting for the one toilet, which was not stocked with toilet paper (don't forget to bring your own + hand sanitizer). There were a couple surprises I had after reading other trip reports. The first one was that the road up to the trailhead was not bad at all. Sure, it was a little bumpy and there were a few potholes to watch out for, but it was seriously nothing compared to other trailheads I've been on. A sedan can easily make it up to the top with no problem. The second thing I found different than the trip reports was the level of difficulty. WTA rates this hike as expert, and I thought it was nowhere near expert. It really was a nice gradual incline with some rock scrambling at the top. Plus, there's beautiful sights to see the entire way up, so it was very pleasant. The trail was packed, but once my friend and I started hiking, we slowly spaced out from the others. Everyone we encountered was super kind and courteous. The only downside we had from the people was that this is a trail that does not allow dogs, and there were several we encountered (including one off leash who ran up to my friend and was a little nippy). There was also fresh dog poop right on the trail an owner had left behind. The lake at the top wasn't too busy. There were plenty of spots to sit to grab a bite to eat and admire the view. After the initial descent from the lake where there's a lot of rock scrambling and questioning if you're still on the trail (there's multiple ways up through the rocks, so just keep going and look for cairns), it's a steady decline that's easy on the knees. I will definitely be back!

This is about a 10 mile total hike. I'm not a very experienced hiker, so it too me a while to get…read moreup there. My boyfriend and I camped up at the top too. Up to the top, it's quite easy as in the trail and the incline should be fine if you have hiked a lot. At some point up the trail, it gets a little narrow and steep way down if you're not careful. Bless my boyfriend for carrying my camping bag too. At the top, there's a camp ground. It's near a river if you want to get water. There's also a toilet! It's a wooden box and it's a great view to take a dump at. From the campsite, it's about 1 mile to the lake at the top. There are cairn stacks along the way to reach the lake. Without following it, I'm sure you can still find it, but with it, it shows you an easy route to climb. The lake itself is very clear and very cold! I went in August and there was still some snow! There are also mountain goats! I found the best time to see them is in the morning. They come near the camp site too! I heard a baby mountain goat crying for it's mom too. It was so cool seeing them so close! You can see where they have even around since their fur gets caught on the branches.

Trail clearing of fallen trees that block access to the trail system. As you can see in the pictures it's not just some leisurely ride into the cascade mountains, it was work. But it was good work. Like a great CrossFit workout. Cutting these trees is all done with a hand saw, because you cannot use any gas or electrical equipment in the wilderness. In conjunction with the U.S. Forest service these trails get cleared and opened up for all hikers to enjoy. So if you're ever out there on these trails take time to think about how they got cleared of the trees you walk through when you see those cut logs laying there. And if you ever see the trail clearers thank them for what they do. Three peaks outfitters offer's day rides, overnighters and other great adventures including sleigh rides in the winter, providing there is snow.....
