When we say this campground is on a patch of land that juts right out into Kachess Lake, we really mean “Bring a towel.” You’ll have plenty of places to dry off after a swim or a day on your boat, too, since there are more than 100 sites to choose from. Because it’s so large, this is a perfect spot for families. And a mountainside forest of beautiful evergreens isn’t a bad place to squeeze in some quality time with ‘em, either.

Just 45min from Leavenworth as well! Guests have the option to add on the Sauna package and enjoy our wood fired river view barrel sauna! No better feeling than to take a cold plunge in the river after a sauna:) All tent sites are riverside and feature mostly level tentpads and riverside fire pits! Some with room for multiple tents.

The Landing at Index WA

35mi from Kachess Campground · 9 sites · Tents, RVs · Index, WA

Welcome to The Landing at Index - located on the South Fork Skykomish River, in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, off of Highway 2. With 16 acres of beautiful, private woods and breathtaking views of Mt. Index, this is a wonderful getaway to kick back and relax after your day of adventures, or just to escape the city rush. This is a gated property, protected with a code, which you will be sent 24 hours before your arrival. The campsites are at the bottom of a long logging road so an SUV or AWD vehicle are preferable , especially during the wetter seasons. When the property was logged approximately 100 years ago they scooped out gravel from the river to make their roads in the area thus creating the back eddy pool along the beach. A rather peaceful setting, including the rushing sound of the river and the occasional whistle of a train. You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated after you stay at The Landing. Pets are welcome, there are private outhouses at each campsite. These outhouses are protected with a code, which is sent to you 24 hours before your arrival. Campfires are allowed (when burn bans are not in place).

Very popular, especially sites on the water but lots of great spots tucked in and around trees. Some large group sites available.
