Campgrounds were absolutely filthy. It wasn't even just our campsite that was littered with garbage, it was the whole campground. We were willing to overlook that and just clean up our own site, but then found that the whole campground lacked water access. Tried multiple spigots, all dry. Asked the hosts and they just said that there wasn't water and we could go up the road to a natural spring to fill water (which they didn't even know the location of), or we could go back to town and buy water. It's like the hosts were just not doing their jobs inspecting the sites after visitors checked out. Won't be back.

Sites were dirty w tp and garbage throughout campground . None of the reservation tags were updated . Someone was set up in one of my spots on our arrival and stayed until following day causing us to alter plans w rest of group . Host claims not his job to pick up garbage

Lovely campsites....clean and well maintained.No water surprised us but I guess we didn't check first.....it was noted on the website

I could not have found a better campground. It was beautiful and relaxing.

@JennyH8270248 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #9

This is a beautiful campground. The porta potties were a big bummer. When we were there they were almost full to the brim and one of the two toilets was out of tp. I probably wouldn't stay here again because of the lack of proper toilets.

@PaulV2D86EED12 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #23

I'd say going before the height of the season was ideal. It was good weather, but not too crowded.

@AshleyM6190418 · Camped on Sep 5, 2023 at Campsite #21

We visited Wish-Poosh in early September. Cle Elum Lake was drained, the campground water had been turned off and the bathrooms were closed (porta potties were instead provided). Probably not worth paying full price for a camp ground that only provides dirt to camp on. Could be a cool place to visit if the campground amenities and the lake recreation were available. The host was super nice though.

Everything was great except there was no water supply. Make sure that you carry enough water to drink and wash.

@SeanD7997205 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #3

Camp site was great host was helpful.wish there was water available.

@GaryT6790939 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #15

Campground needs a lot of work. Not working bathroom and no fresh water is not common in government campground. Road need works too. I have the impression this campground is about to close and turned into another private development. Explaining why no work is being made to fix the issues

@ThomasN5861088 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #17

Nice campground for small rvs mine is 30 ft and only able to use 4 of the sites. The sites have a good amount of privacy and shade there was no water at the time of our stay and only three porta potties that was very inconvenient. The shining light of our stay was Bill our camp host. Bill is the host all others should strive to be. Bill is friendly knowledgeable and courteous with just the right amount of host and camper, great guy.

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #5

Overall the campsite was clean, I was at campsite 005 which is a large site that can easily hold 10 people comfortably. The one issue I had was the restrooms, most did not work at all, and the portable toilets were full to the brim, this was due to poor planning, the portables get pumped on Monday, (My stay was Sunday and Monday), the problem with pumping the portable toilets on Monday is by the time of the weekend the toilet tank is full to start the busy weekend, possibly this is a vendor problem, bottom line; good campsite if you have a trailer with a restroom in it, if not bring one of those portable camping toilets.

@Stephanie43603 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #1

Me and my friends had a great time there!

@MariaM4161283 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #7

The sites were beautiful. The lake was amazing. I have a couple complaints. To begin with, the portable restrooms were disgusting! Full to the brim!!!! Also, the capers across from our site were noisy past 10, playing loud music.

@MatthewG245698 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #19

See private comments regarding no running water like it used to have.

@EmilyM5280790 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #27

Nice location, close to the reservoir but not right on the water. We stayed on a two family site, which were nice, sunny, and had nice amount of space. This is a smaller campground than someplace lie kachees. It was pretty impactful to not have functional water taps or drop toilets. We were not expecting them to be out of order. There were just port-a-potties (which were clean) and no water available. Host was great but, overall this isn’t the nicest national forest site around.

@HeidiG1682452 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #29

Potable water would be awesome. Maybe usable vault toilets instead of port a poties.

@SolvitaU216602 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #21

Location is very nice with lake being right there. Good hiking near by. Quiet. Porta potties reasonably clean.

@CrystalV929858 · Camped on Aug 21, 2022 at Campsite #17

Quiet and Beautiful area! The camp host is very friendly and knowledgeable!

@AprilB5759478 · Camped on Aug 5, 2022 at Campsite #5

Great camping area! The lake is really close by, easy to get to. We had a great weekend of camping!

@FERESHTEH61945 · Camped on Jul 30, 2022 at Campsite #7

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

@MelissaM982934 · Camped on Jul 27, 2022 at Campsite #17

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.

@RayB4446613 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #17

Lovely places to swim on a hot day.

@ZachH8629698 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #13

Camp ground is pretty decent, only thing is alot of shops were closed and it was a Tuesday lol

@TrinaS6398196 · Camped on Jun 29, 2022 at Campsite #1

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.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
