Cascade Campground offers a spacious and clean environment, with helpful camp hosts and a quiet, remote setting perfect for relaxation and hiking. While the parking pads can be shallow and the access road rough, the overall experience is positive, highlighted by the cleanliness of the facilities and the natural beauty surrounding the area. Some guests noted issues with the water pump and site size descriptions, but these did not significantly detract from their enjoyment.

Campsite had stream running through the fireplace. The picnic table was accessible only if you don't mind climbing down a river bank and standing in 6 inches of black mud .
This campsite is unusable and the rangers know it. They got their $ six months in advance and their hands are washed of it.

I paid extra to insure that we would have campsites after a 1400 mile drive with a wife that is on her last few moments here.

The rangers let us down and I'll never forget how badly they do their job.

After 1500 miles of driving it was the worst campsite I have had in 65 years of camping. Any spot along side the road was better.
We reserved the camp site in January and ended up with a site that the USFS should restore to river bank. I'll NEVER make reservations with them again.
Tax $ wasted for a website that doesn't even mention that your campsite may be UNUSABLE.
Tax $ wasted on maintaning a losing battle campsite and no ability to adapt or change. Good enough is good enough I
guess. This is today's USFS apparently.

It was our "bucket list" trip and with my wife's declining health will be the only trip we will have ever taken together. It's a shame.

The ranger whom deemed this a usable "campsite" should lose their job today.

The campground host has no say in the matter and worked like a dog along with the host from Basin to try and make it right. They tried digging trenches to get the picnic table dry and save the fire ring from a stream of water running through it. The site is a lost cause.
Two old men working like dogs while a ranger sat on his ass somewhere I'll bet. On the job retirement is the modern way for government employees. Let someone else pay.

The hosts were the nicest people that I've met in a long time and they quite literally saved what little vacation that we had out west. If you happen to meet them, thank them for us again.
If you see a ranger...look hard to see them do anything but sit.

The campground was great, we will definitely stay again! The area is great for a nice walk and being right on the creek adds the the great experience.

I will avoid this campground due to the most horrible washboard road.
