We just love Bumping Lake.
The scenery and the water.
Sometimes other campers dogs get to be a little to much. Barking and stuff.

We were camping for a long Labor day weekend. Because of nearby wild fire we were evacuated a day early. On a positive note the weather was spectacular.
We always love Bumping Lake campground

Nice campground, clean facilities, roomy sites.

Upper Loop seemed to be the best option for tents, and lower loop was more RV sites. We were in the lower loop, site #60, with a massive circular drive but not much in the way of spots for a tent.

Overall, we had a blast. The kids swam and biked all day. We’ll be back.

Clean, and campsites are as described. Good-sized fire pit but grills are high so you'd have to have a decent fire to cook on them (better for warmth, so bring a camp stove). Only propane fire pits allowed anyway. Table tops appear to be redone/newer and are great for large groups.

Numerous trails make lake and other parts of the campground access, easy. Might want to bring water shoes as the lake shore can get pretty muddy depending on how dry it is or isn't. Water spigot is located near the upper campground (towards the day use parking area). Easy little spot to pull over and fill up your water jugs for washing dishes etc. Another at the host campsite, but might be more intrusive to use that one. Closest store is Whistlin' Jacks about 25 min drive on 410, to Naches - they have wifi but gas is crazy expensive, so fill up before you head out to the campground. There is a store on the other side of the lake, across the bridge but might be seasonal; closed in late August when we were there.

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
