This is a spacious tent site located very close to the Cascade River. There is a trail that runs parallel to the site but there is vegetation between the two. Other than that, it is secluded from the other sites. You will have sun and shade throughout the day in different places, and it has a nice gap in the trees for stargazing. There is no fire pit but you are able to have a fire at the river when there is not a burn ban.

Cascade River Retreat is a charming campsite that offers a serene escape with its picturesque riverside location and well-maintained facilities. Many visitors appreciate the thoughtful amenities like spacious sites, picnic tables, and easy river access, providing a tranquil environment for relaxation. The camp's proximity to North Cascades National Park and the attentive host, Heather, are frequently mentioned highlights. However, some campers noted the lack of running water and occasional noise at night as minor drawbacks.

We love camping here. This is our second year. The river is a short walk away and the sites are spacious. The bathroom is nice and well maintained. They have updated the property and are working on new things. We have been in the blazing sun and in the pouring rain. Both were great in their own way. Close to Diablo and Ross Lakes.

Overall we had a good experience and really appreciated the water access. Because the site was in the woods, I wasn't expecting the ground & walkway to be 100% sand which made sleeping comfortable but camping messy. The bathroom light was also not working making it very very dark inside when needing to use the bathroom.

We stayed in one of the walk in sites along the river and it was totally worth it. Loved the privacy, rushing of the water, and easy access to the river. Enjoyed a peaceful stay. Would definitely come back. Pit toilet was a decent ways away but not terrible. The owner was kind and welcoming.

This is a great family site! It is enjoyable for all ages. The campsites up near the playground, open field, and bathroom are perfect for younger families who want their kids to be able to roam a bit while still keeping an eye on them. Spending family time at the river was a highlight! The river course changes each year but so far has always offered slower, shallow areas where kids can play safely. This is an incredibly peaceful location- great for parents to disconnect and relax as well. We have plans to return every year!

We camp here at least once a year since 2022! It’s such a lovely spot. The campsites are clean, and the river is amazing snd just a short walk away. We’ve found site 10 to be the most private. Other campers are always respectful and Heather is super welcoming!

I had the slowest evening and morning of my life camping riverside at this property! I felt like I had the whole valley to myself and it by far was one of my favorite experiences connecting with Mother Earth here. I needed a moment like this in life right now and I’m just thankful I found this place! Sites 14,15,16,17,18 will make you feel the same :)

We stayed in site 17, lovely view of river and mountains, peaceful, slept to the sound of the river. Walk in sites involved sandy terrain, so have to be able to navigate with a pullalong cart. Potable water available at the greenhouse. Several lovely Adirondack chairs at the beach were a bonus! Pallet table was great for cooking on, bring a small table if you want to play cards. Thank you Heather, lovely spot.

Site 6 - Cascade River Retreat
It's a nice spot. The area near the creek/river is lovely. The car sites are quite close together and there is only one outhouse, which is really not enough for the number of humans using the campground. There is no running water at the outhouse and the hand sanitizer unit was empty throughout our visit. While there is a quiet time, it is not enforced. Our neighbors played music until after 2am. It wasn't loud, but it was not a quiet night. There is a covered area (large camper-sized tent/awning) with a group picnic table and games (croquet, cornhole), which was very nice. The water pump is a bit of a walk, near a lovely garden maintained by the owners.

Awesome camp site right next to the river. Very short walk from parking area to camp site with wagons provided to help move your stuff! The site itself is smaller but isolated from other campers. You can still squeeze in a large tent with room left over for a table and chairs. River view from camping spot is tough to beat. Would highly recommend site 14
