Red Mountain Campground

Red Mountain Campground offers a rugged and authentic outdoor experience nestled along the banks of the Cle Elum River. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, this site provides a peaceful escape for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Washington’s Pacific Northwest. With ten single campsites available, it serves as a quiet basecamp for adventurers seeking solitude in a classic forest setting.

This is a primitive, federal campground designed for those who enjoy a back-to-basics approach to nature. As a dry camping location, it features no hookups or listed amenities, making it best suited for self-sufficient tent campers and experienced car campers prepared for off-grid living. Visitors should come fully equipped to handle their own water and waste management needs.

The terrain is characterized by its proximity to the rushing waters of the Cle Elum River and the surrounding mountain landscape. Because of its primitive nature and year-round accessibility, it is an ideal destination for those who prefer a moderate, no-frills camping experience away from the crowds. It is a perfect spot for travelers who value simplicity and direct access to the raw, untamed wilderness.
