There were no amenities at all.
Chemical toilet, no sanitizer, no running water anywhere.
The stream is freezing, so you can’t use it for anything.
And the nightly price like the campground that have running water and showers.

One of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to. Many sites on or near the river. Most sites have quite a bit of space between them. Nicely paved campground with about a mile of road to ride bikes on. Wood around that can be collected for fires, as well as sold by the host at $8 a bundle. A very good host.

This spot at Salmon La Sac is everyone's favorite. I have stayed twice and both times all my camping neighbors have said so! There is a great little spot by the river where you can set your chair up and relax. Although this time I was told the night before there were bear sightings YIKES luckily they stayed away 😅 love this spot

We come here every year with our kids and their families. The cooper river is great for tubing and just parking your chair in to cool off. The Cle Elum river on the other side of the campground has a nice deep swimming hole under the bridge. There are trails for hiking and just down the road is Lake Cle Elum. The past 2 years we've seen the bears visiting the dumpsters so be aware they are in the area. Lock up your food.

Site #61 was spacious, with one table and many options for setting up tents, but rather rocky. There were some good size trees for shade and hanging a hammock. This site is close to a vault toilet, which was mostly clean. The nearby water tap was broken, so needed to plan a little more carefully for kitchen needs. Access to the river was easy and refreshing for cooling off.
We would stay again!

Cancellation policy

  • 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.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
