What Guests Are Saying

Wish Poosh Campground offers a beautiful location with spacious sites and a friendly campground host, making it a pleasant spot for tent camping. Visitors enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and relatively clean porta-potties, despite the absence of running water and some maintenance issues with the vault toilets. While access to the lake can be challenging and some sites are tight, many found their overall experience enjoyable, especially due to the scenic views and minimal bug presence.

We were at site#1 just next to the entry boards. Campground is nice with nearby beautiful lake. The only issue we had is water was not available to wash utensils so that we can reuse them and honey buckets were provided at few locations around campground which becomes a bit unhygienic but since very few people showed they did not became to busy and dirty. Host is good.

Beautiful campground with lots of space between sites, easy walking distance to Cle Elum Lake, and close to great trailheads too. Host was friendly and helpful, and nice peaceful setting well off the main road.

My family and I choose this campsite for the beautiful lake, this was our first time ever visiting this place. The campsite it’s self was nice and quiet big sites. There is no running water or electricity which was fine the outhouses where clean and up kept. The lake was beautifulunfortunately when we were there the damn had not been open so picnic area was under water there wasn’t any place to really hang out that didn’t stop us though we still went down and enjoyed the water. There are stores and restaurants near by if you need anything also rental places for boats and Jetskis. Beware of bears they have signs everywhere don’t ignore them I seen one way to close to my liking. Overall I would go back probably later in the summer hoping the damn will be released.

campsite very nice. clean porta-potties.
The problem is that recreation.gov showed all but 1 site was reserved for the 2 days we wanted so we reserved the open site. however when we got to the campground sites were marked reserved but so many sites were never occupied, what a waste! and although recreation.gov's own rule is if the site is not occupied the first night of reservation then you are free to use it but the hosts never change the sites reservation status. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Fresh water spouts did not work and only port-a-potties available. The permanent bathrooms were closed. The sites itself were nice.
