Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
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.
