Soda Springs Campground (Bumping River, WA)

We go here every year, for the last 10 or so. This Spot on the river is the best in the state. Huge camping spot, cool, breezy and lovely trees. Other campers have treated it with respect for the lovely place in nature it is. Vault toilets are clean. Local well water is heavy with iron, but with a Brita pitcher fine for coffee and drinking, and of course for washing dishes right out of the tap. We stayed 5 days and would have stayed more if we had planned for it. Only thing is, the fire pit needs replacing, or the bracket that holds the grill need a new hinge welded on to it. It has been broken for years.

Our reserved site #13 was not to our liking - no trees for shade or privacy, no flat area for tent.
We spoke with the campsite manager who graciously offered us several other options. We ended up in #3 which was better and since we had no neighbors to one side it felt private.
Bathrooms extremely clean and scenery is great.
Hiking is difficult to non existent from campgroud.
There was a great swimming hole with swing though!

By far the worst camp host I have ever ran into. I have never seen anyone so angry at campers and those just looking for open sites. I watched him yell from a distance at people who where allegedly speeding over the home made sign he put up of 5 mph. In addition to the speeding he was telling all of us we had to park vehicles in backwards in the event of a fire. I didnt see that anywhere written on this site when making reservation nor in the camp.

Friendly host and maintenance workers. Quiet peaceful and teaming with wildlife. River was high this year and cold but the soothing sound of rushing water made it even more beautiful!

We had a great time. Nice quiet place. Hopefully they can get the water fixed soon. The camp host was helpful and kept things clean. The only complaint I have is in site description. We had site 16 to start with which is a pull through and 70 ft long. The problem is the turn is too tight for longer trailer, I saw the same thing on a couple of the other pull throughs. It was no problem to back into mine and just something to be aware of.
