Bumping Lake Campground

How does a campground that blends serene lakeside beauty with vibrant outdoor activities sound? Bumping Lake Campground in Goose Prairie, Washington, excels with its stunning mountain vistas, old-growth forests, and direct access to the pristine, glacier-formed Bumping Lake. Located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, this campground defies the ordinary by offering a tranquil, semi-remote feel while accommodating a range of campers, from tent enthusiasts to families with RVs.

The campground features 61 well-spaced sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, plus vault toilets and potable water for convenience. Though there are no hookups, the asphalt or packed gravel pads cater to both tents and RVs. A boat launch at the lower section makes this an ideal spot for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, while nearby trails such as the American Ridge Trail provide miles of hiking through lush forests and alpine meadows. For wildlife enthusiasts, sightings of native species, including eagles and deer, add to the experience.

Just a 30-minute drive from the campground lies the southern edge of Mount Rainier National Park, offering breathtaking views and additional hiking opportunities. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended lakeside retreat, Bumping Lake Campground stands out as a quintessential Pacific Northwest destination for connecting with nature and adventure.
