Lmuma Creek Recreation Site

Can a campground deliver solitude, scenic beauty, and premier access to outdoor recreation all at once? Lmuma Creek Recreation Site in Washington's Yakima River Canyon does just that, offering a tranquil retreat framed by towering basalt cliffs and the gentle flow of the Yakima River.

This rustic campground is ideal for anglers, bird watchers, and anyone seeking an authentic connection to nature. With primitive campsites, shaded picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, Lmuma Creek keeps things simple, emphasizing the breathtaking setting over modern amenities. The campground lacks potable water and hookups, so campers should plan accordingly. Its location along the river makes it a favorite for fishing enthusiasts, while the open skies provide unmatched opportunities for stargazing.

Located about 15 miles south of Ellensburg, the campground is nestled within a rich corridor of outdoor activities. Visitors can explore the nearby Umtanum Creek Canyon and its hiking trails, or enjoy birdwatching opportunities that include bald eagles and other raptors. For those seeking a peaceful getaway with access to pristine natural surroundings, Lmuma Creek captures the essence of Washington's rugged beauty.
