8.6mi from Ellensburg · 8 sites · Tents, RVs

With 300ft of private waterfront river access across 4 acres, River's Edge provides easy access to the best fly fishing in Washington state. There are endless opportunities to relax, fish and enjoy a quiet stretch of the Yakima River. Complete with 4 RV hook-ups offering 30/50 AMP + water service and 4 tent only sites, you can enjoy this slice of unique Washington wonderland with your whole family. Rustic and remote, you will feel instant peace and relaxation as you arrive. Just over an hour east of Seattle sits our beautiful property. It's an easy and beautiful drive on I-90 all the way, then a short drive to the property. Being on the east side of the Cascades, this campground is almost always sunnier than the city, warmer in the summer, and snowier in the winter. But the riverfront is where the true magic is. Fly fishing and bird watching heaven! Many hours have been spent relaxing in, on, or near the river with friends, family, and dogs. It's always changing, always alive, and that's why we love it. If you need supplies, groceries or a restaurant, the town of Ellensburg is just 13 minutes away, and the fun town of Cle Elum/Suncadia resort with its restaurants and the Swiftwater Winery, is about 22 minutes away. Remote yet connected! Our property amenities include a shared, central fire pit & gazebo/table/chairs for all guests to use. There is a flush toilet available on site (however no shower or laundry access). Our site is intentionally rustic and we can't wait to share it with others who love being outdoors with nature. Suggested Packing list: River shoes, bug spray, sun hat, suncreen, camping chairs, binoculars, layers (it can go from chilly to blazing and back again), a good book, board games, s'more supplies, floaties/life jackets, leashes/poop bags.

Beautiful property, with a sweet and (cold) pond to float. My kids will swim for short periods of time, due to the cold water, but they enjoyed themselves.. Some sites are very close/too close to one another, while others are more dispersed. Bathrooms are clean. The camp hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Walking distance into Cle Elum is a plus! This is my second time there and will definitely be returning.

Nice clean park with things for kids to do. We enjoyed it. There is some freeway noise but it’s muffled and I didn’t really notice it much.

Weekend Trip to Currier Creek Camp

Very convienent and easy to find in an area with not a lot of options for RVs. Power and water hookup were fine. Could not connect to internet so i used my T-mobile hot-spot. Nice level grassy area and a very friendly dog. Very little roadnoise. If you have a trailer around 30 or more feet you may need extra long power cord although mine did reach. Overall, a pleasant spot and we would stay here again if in the area.

This was a great camping spot for our family plenty of activities to do right here on the property so the kids didn’t get board. Within a reasonable driving distance to see other places if you’re an explorer like our family. Level sites for easy set up to start your adventure. Plenty of trash cans around the property as well.

Camping at Whispering Pines was great for an overnight stop on our journey. There was a burn ban during our visit, which was a bummer.

Peaceful stop with a warm welcome! We had a lovely stay at Currier Creek RV 1. It was a peaceful, quiet spot right off I-90—perfect for a restful overnight. Gage, the camp host (and very friendly golden lab!), was such a sweet greeter and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for hosting us!
