Lake Creek Campground - Entiat River

Beware - Google Maps only leads to Ranger Station in Entiat. Campground some 25 mi further out of town. Nice campground, hand pumped water, vault toilets (clean!).

This was such a cute spot! It was pretty spacious and had a great view of the river. The river is quite comforting at night, as you can hear the rushing water. This spot is right next to the water pump, which was pretty convenient. It is also close to the bathroom. We had two cars and two tents and felt comfortable. All in all, it was a solid spot. There were, of course, bugs and no service, but that is to be expected in camping.

Nice campground. Facilities kept clean. Campground is located near river up didn't see any easy access points. Layout is challenging with a large RV or camper.

We had Campsite 1, and it was *fantastic*! It was huge and right next to a cascading creek. We've stayed at several campgrounds in WA and this was the best drive up campsite. Campsite 2 looked large as well. The toilet was a pretty standard pit toilet. It didn't smell bad and there was no trash, but there were a ton of flies. We did an evening hike of Silver Falls and didn't see another person the whole time. I would come here again.

A gem of a campground

We booked online, but another camper came in and couldn't pay because the pay station was covered and only had a QR code. That's great, but there's no cell coverage at Lake Creek, so they couldn't use that method either. We heard 2 gun shots while we were there. These things are unusual at Lake Creek, as we normally really enjoy this campground.

First of all, I have camped in the Entiat Valley for 30 years. I have always written a check when I show up to camp. This time I showed up for the first come first serve campsite and found that paying for the site is through an app only. There’s no cellular coverage there. So not only I had not downloaded the app, I couldn’t pay for my site. So I drove 25.8 mi to get cellular coverage and found I still could not pay for the site. This is because you have to scan the QR code. The QR code was back at Lake Creek Campground, not with me. So I drove back set up my camp and waited. I finally got it paid for two days later. This system does not work because there’s cellular coverage.

The campground itself, is fantastic. The church-in process is completely broken. It’s called beta testing, I suggest you try it.

Thought it was a very good campground even with the water bump turned off. The outhouse was very clean. The road was a bit tight in spots so definitely not the best for trailers and MH’s but we thought the campsites were well spaced and good sized. FYI, the campground is a good 45minutes off Hwy97.

Bring ‘strong’ deet mosquito repellent. We bring 2 types + 2 or 3 citronella candles. This park is my favorite. Not really great for kids because there’s not a lot of places for them to play. It’s very hilly and steep drop offs. This park is great for folks wanting to disconnect and recover. Also, the bathrooms and the garbage dumpster is far apart from most sites, so you might want to bring your own portables. There was no water available this weekend, so carry enough water for drinking, cooking, and washing dishes.
