Beckler River Campground

campsite #15 is spacious and it has space for two tents and a hammock. Came here late August for 3 days and enjoyed my reservation. Didn't have any issues with mosquitos or flies (got three bites, but not bad). Tmobile signal has three bars which is nice. And it's only 1.5 hours away from Renton/Seattle area.. The vault toilet is decent and clean. Blue jays and small birds would frequently visit me throughout the day. 5 out of 5 would come back. Host was an older lady who seems nice. She came around the second day of my stay to confirm my reservations. Vegetation around the campsite has ferns, tall pine trees, and some other medium size shrubs. The vegetation gives a nice forest feel. Book early if you want river view.nnpros: they sell wood on site, clean vault toilets, privacy between sites are decent, the sound of the river is peaceful.nncon: there a lot of families and sometimes kids can be loud, but it wasn't a big issue for me.

Great little camp ground. Several camp sites have direct river access and there is a picnic area with river access for day use if you're not staying the night. There are no showers but there are several out house style restrooms throughout the campground. Fishing is allowed with a license. There is a small store (basic items only) and gas station a half mile up the highway. Fire wood is available for purchase from the camp host for $8/bundle. Additional vehicles at your site are also $8/day. Cash or check only. RVs are allowed but there are no hookups. Each site includes a fire pit and a large picnic table. There is a small water pump at the center of the grounds where you can get water for washing dishes, feeding dogs, etc. but it runs very slowly so you'll need some patience.

Be careful with this campground. The camp managers don't change the 'Reserved' signs. We found a site that was labeled as 'Open' got fully setup only to have someone show up saying they had the slot we found reserved. When we questioned the manager she said it wasn't their job to change the signs, then tried blaming kids, after she had called me disagreeable. We weren't the only campers that experienced the problem. There were 3 groups of us that had the exact same issue at that time. Not to mention the money collection box hadn't been cleared out in at least a week as you couldn't wedge another payment envelope in it. I could have very easily swiped a bunch of folks money if I was that type. We will NOT be returning.

We love beckler river. Big camp sites and fun river swimming holes for the kids.

It would have recieved 5 stars, except for the water source for drinking water was just a trickle.
