Lodgepole Campground

Lodgepole Campground, set along the scenic American River in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, offers an idyllic escape for nature lovers seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation. The campground's charming backdrop of towering lodgepole pines, easy river access, and proximity to lush alpine wilderness make it particularly appealing for campers looking to fish, hike, or relax in a serene environment.

This campground features 34 sites that accommodate both tents and small RVs (up to 20 feet), each equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean vault toilets and potable water. While it lacks electrical hookups and showers, the pristine surroundings more than compensate. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the trout-filled American River, while nearby trails—such as those leading to Cougar Valley and Swamp Lake—offer breathtaking views for hikers. The iconic Pacific Crest Trail and Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail are also within a short drive.

Located off Highway 410 and just 40 miles west of Naches, Lodgepole Campground is a convenient base for exploring Mount Rainier National Park, the Goat Rocks Wilderness, and the vibrant local ecology of the Cascades. Its combination of peaceful seclusion and easy access to outdoor adventures makes it an excellent destination for weekend getaways and extended stays alike.
