Large private sites in a small campground. Our spot was on the river. Campground close to hiking at Blue lake

This is a small campground along the North Fork of the Cispus. Some sites are adjacent to the tumbling river. All are well forested. Campground is well maintained. Small loop trail goes to a bluff over the campground, and lots of other trails nearby. Did catch small trout in the river--bring a Tenkara if you have one!

Beautiful forested campsite. Friendly camp host. Clean bathrooms. Site 8 was a bit tricky to get backed into, the site sits on the corner and the road is not wide. It took a few tries, but we were able to get backed in and set up. The Chevy 2500 short bed plus 30 ft trailer fit without issue. Pad was just wide enough for the trailer with the slide out to still have a paved area to step off onto, but the step from the paved pad to the surrounding area was a bit tricky. The site itself was clean and beautiful and had plenty of room between us and any of the neighbors.

Very quiet beautiful place. We were in a pull thru site by the water. Would definitely go back if ever in that area

Well we did never get there. So it is nit about the campground itself, rather information on the road condition. We came from the South from Hood River and the road to Randle is 17 mi gravel. I would never have booked if I had known that; we travel we a rental motorhome and a gravelroad is not insured. So we had to go back to Hood River and travel around that part of the mountains. Please make a note of the gravelroad on the website of the campground. It would help

Great hikes right from the campground. Just down the road are some ancient Caves. Just down the road is camp creek falls which is a good hike and the falls are amazing! Great ride-abouts - especially if you have a motorcycle.
