This campsite offers a peaceful and spacious retreat perfect for families or large groups, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the privacy of nature. While not directly on the water, the nearby lake is just a short drive away, making it convenient for those who enjoy water activities. The site's clean amenities, including well-maintained porta potties and a propane fire pit, contribute to a comfortable camping experience. However, campers should be prepared for limited cell service and some minor inconveniences like rocky ground for tents and bees in certain seasons.

Nice and private and spacious. Plenty of room for the whole family and a few friends. Nice to have the wifi in case of emergency because very spotty cell service. Lake really close like 3 minutes away. 2 general stores with ice and necessities that may have been forgotten 1 is like 2 or 3 minutes the other about 10 minutes. Really enjoyed our time here.

Not close to water

Tent · Group trip

The campsite was nice, grill with burner and propane fire pit. It was not near the water and you could not access it as private properties were in the way. Expect to coordinate driving 5 min to speelyi beach. Porta potties were clean, pack trash out, bring your own water

Beautiful Stay 🖤

Tent · With pets

Just be careful of all the pitch that will get stuck to your shoes! Bring some tarps for your tents! I also recommend something for bees. We never got stung but they’re around. Highly recommend staying there. The place is gorgeous and quiet. It was perfect to sit and relax for a few days. Plenty of places to hang hammocks and small trails to casually wander with morning coffee 🖤

A great spot for larger groups! Having the propane fire pit was awesome. Tents can be set up away from the main camp table area which makes it ideal for multiple people. Not too far from the lake and felt very private.

Awesome little secluded camp spot! Super close to Speelyi Beach and quick trip into town. The cell service is spotty so the WiFi was great back up. Super clean and the toilets were also very clean. Will definitely be back!

Secret little nook in the woods!

Tent · Group trip

This is an ideal spot for family camping! Two minutes from the beach, five minutes from Roslyn Grocery, a fire pit, BBQ, and electricity. We brought an extension cord. Bees were not bad, bugs were decent, and squirrels were around. It was fairly quiet and neighbors were barely hears, we had a 12 person tent, a 6 person, and a 2 person tent and they all fit great. Bring a mattress as the ground was a bit rocky. Porta Potties were awesome and clean. BYO TP and wipes if you must. We loved this site and felt comfortable leaving out gear behind when we went to the beach. Lost a canopy due to the wind at the beach, and spots fill up fast there so make sure to head out as early as 10am if you want to drive on the beach and park. Sandler areas are to the left and rockies areas are to the right. Bring your own propane and wood was $5 a bundle on the highway at least 4 times on your way in. Pizza place in Roslyn was good, I think it was called Villiage Pizza? It's next to the grocery store and across from The Brick. Awesome town, good communication with Drew, and good times here. This place was perfect!

Large group camping!

Tent · Group trip

This site was absolutely incredible! I stayed at this spot for three nights with 23 of my friends and it was perfect for our large group. There was plenty of space for all of our tents, chairs, cars, and equipment. We loved how close the site was to the beach, to Roslyn, to Cle Elum, and tons of amazing hikes and other outdoor activities. Drew was an awesome host and was extremely accommodating to our group. I would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect summer weekend

19 ft Class C · Group trip

Spring Creek Getaway was awesome for my birthday weekend! Property was easy to find and close by to Lake Cle Elum and made for a very fun lake day for my group. Porta potty was very clean, lots of places to set up tents, we loved the fire pit, and the wifi was a bonus. Neighbors are around you, but you feel quite a bit of privacy from the trees. I had forgotten to bring any string lights but the campsite had some already which was awesome! This is a great spot to meet with friends and family and feel a little more outdoorsy and private than a public camp ground. We did not see any wild life, but we saw some signs of a bear, so we made sure to keep food and trash inside our cars at night and when we left camp and everything was fine. We’d love to come back again sometime, thanks for making my birthday weekend a blast!

Lovely stay!

26 ft travel trailer · With pets

Such an amazing spot for the kids! They loved the trails and creek. The adults appreciated the amount of space and being close to the lake. I will say that pulling our 29’ trailer in, was tricky to say the least. We attempted to pull straight in but should have checked it out first. There wasn’t adequate space for us to be able to unhitch and turn around so we had to back it out turn around and back it in and the road have little space to do it. If we visited this spot again we’d tent it. The field was lovely and had pretty wildflowers and we great for the tents!

This site does the trick for a weekend in Cle Elum. It’s close to the access point to the lake, where you can drive your car onto the sand and post up for an entire day (on a sunny weekend you may be sharing with hundreds of other cars / groups but it’s very fun!). Keep in mind that cle elum has a very conservative population and you may end up next to a Trump flag at the beach. As far as the campsite, the cabin that is mentioned in the listing is RIGHT next to the “campsite” which seems to be a dusty driveway with a fire pit and two picnic tables. No one was there (as promised in the listing) but it is right there and has twinkle lights on it, which I would have loved to turn off for star gazing and general darkness at the campsite. The porta potty was pretty full and had no toilet paper or hand sanitizer, so def bring your own. This site was 100x better than a public campground, no doubt. I wouldn’t go back though, mostly because I wouldn’t choose to recreate in Cle Elum again.

Beautiful Site - loud neighbors

20 ft campervan · With kids

We loved the site itself. Location was very convenient and beautiful. Good communication from the host. The little creek nice and cool and was a huge hit with the kids. Site was as described. We stayed over memorial day weekend and unfortunately the next door neighbor was running loud dirt bikes on the property late into the night. There was requent chainsaw noise next door on both sides and one of the mornings a neighbor sawing down a couple dozen large trees.

It was easy to find, but 4x4 was needed to pull my trailer through the snow. It was a nice quiet spot, perfect fit for a trailer. The fire pit was great to have. I'll probably be back!

Plenty of space and even in late summer it wasn't a dustbowl, which was welcome for an east side camp. The lights in the trees are a nice touch. Overall, a great location for couples or groups. :-) The only downside completely out of the control of our host was construction on neighboring properties. As a builder myself I get it. Looks like those projects will be done in a few months.

Serviceable, but not amazing

20 ft campervan · With pets

Pros: proximity to Speelyi and other water access as well as Last Resort for ice and other necessities! WiFi was nice to have, as was access to a clean porta potty. We liked the propane fire pit and appreciated the picnic tables to spread out. Cons: probably due to the time of year, but BEES! They drove us bonkers to the point we left a night early. Fairly limited truly flat ground for large tents, though the site itself is very large. Had to buy our own propane for the fire pit. Also, the properties surrounding this site are building homes so there was definitely a lot of construction and road noise — not exactly the peaceful nature retreat we’d expected. Overall, this space is perfectly serviceable but in my opinion overpriced for what you get.

Best spot at lake cle elum

22 ft Class A · Group trip

Drew is so easy to work with and accommodating. The location is large and can easily fit 4+ campers/trailers. There is a hookup and porta potty on site. The public lake access is almost directly across the street. The spot is quiet and private, yet 2 mins to lake access and 10 mins to town of Roslyn. 10/10 I cannot recommend this camping location enough! Will be back next summer.

A great private spot with good shade for most of the day. The WiFi worked great, it was enough for two people to work remote on. The porta potties were very clean! We had a blast just hanging down by Cle Elum Lake and trying to beat the heat by getting in the water.

We loved tent camping at Spring Creek! The location was perfect for all kinds of adventures. There was a nice flat spot for our large tent near the firepit and picnic tables. The porta potty’s were super clean and the string lights were perfect for lighting up the area in the evening. It was really nice to have electricity available as well. Overall a great place stay while exploring the beautiful Cle Elum area!
