The campground's website lists several important policies: quiet hours start at 10pm, no open fires are allowed (in fact a fire ban is in place), and no more than 1 car per site.
Imagine our surprise then, when the family of 8-10 Russians in 4-5 vehicles next to us were playing techno music until past midnight, were being rowdy and obnoxious, and had an open fire going.
Contacted the host, who was otherwise absent all afternoon/evening, and heard nothing. Am now requesting a refund - my 4yo and I got zero sleep and have an 8hr drive ahead of us.
I'm trying really hard to avoid using profanity, avoid this place at all costs.

The campground was beautiful and serene. We camped in the tent sites and a deer walked right through our site while we were setting up! Cindy was very helpful. We highly recommend!

RV Site 9
A great camping spot. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the area. We loved the walking trails, the pond, feeding the fish, the little kid play area and generally exploring. Close to downtown Roslyn and Cle Elum. Flush toilets were kept up. Need quarters for the shower.
We visited when it wasnt full but noticed that the individual sites are very close together. If they had been all full we most likely would have felt claustrophobic and not been able to get our camper in it's spot. The camper spots in the field are so close together. We easily took up two spots since there was no one checked in next to us.

We had a great time at the campground. Cindy was great and was there to greet us. She gave us fish food to feed the fish in the pond which was super fun for us and the kids. We camped with our friends in spots 4 and 5 but we really took up more like 3 spots. Luckily there was no one else in that area so we weren’t crowded but if there were other campers it would’ve been way too close together. Nice bathroom with a quarter operated shower. I wish fires were allowed at the campground because it got really cold at night. There were some fun trails around the campground to walk around. About a 15 min drive to Roslyn. We did see a bear 2 times on 2 different mornings. One time it was pretty close to our camping site and the other time it was on the trails. Our kids had a great time, ages 4-9. They had a little play structure and a volleyball net set up with a volleyball and badminton supplies for 4 people to play. We will be going back!

We got lucky having the tent sites mostly to ourselves this past weekend. It was lovely being so close the pond and being able to spread out a bit. Definitely would stay here again!

This place was a nice spot for camping.
The bathroom was well maintained and there is a shower. You just have to pay 25 cents to start the shower. The lake was a little underwhelming and didn’t look like the picture. You are able to swim in it though, but there is no lifeguard, so swim at your own risk. There is a porta potty near the camp sites if you don’t wanna walk to the bathroom. Another thing is that the campsites are a bit close to each other, so you just have to be mindful of everyone around you.

It was a nice location. Camp host is very welcoming. Some sites I feel are to close to each other. We would go there again, but select a different site.

RV Site 31
We loved our stay here. Site 31 was a little tight but we made it work. The grounds were really nice and we enjoyed walking around.
We did share our electric box with the site next to ours because theirs was too far for them to connect. And our connections were on the opposite side of where they usually are but we made it work.

Nice restroom with one shower. Small and pretty lake with a dock. Grass field was green and lush. Electricity and water hook ups were a real plus. Hosts were available, helpful and kind. Great for kids to run, play volleyball and ride bikes.

T 6 Tent Site
Well maintained campground. We stayed in the tent area site 6. Beautiful open field with trees and trails to walk on the property. The lake, not for swimming, had all types of dragonflies flying around and occasionally could see a fish jump. . Fun to sit on the bench nearby to watch. The night sky was great for viewing and was full of bright stars. The camp host Cindy was very welcoming and informative.

I loved site 7. Very secluded and back in the trees! Sites 8, 9, and 10 offer similar seclusion as well. We had the whole tent area to ourselves. There were a couple RV campers in the RV area. Our second day here a fire started a few miles away and we were panicked that we would have to evacuate. Tried calling the camp host, but similar to our attempt to check in she was a ghost. I did talk to the RV campers and they had heard from her. Apparently she wasn't feeling well but assured them that the fire Marshal would show up if we needed to evacuate. Was disappointed to never see the host, but we had a good time either way. I will warn future campers that there are no water spigots anywhere near the tent sites, nor are there bathrooms (there is a port o potty) so bring your own water or prepare to lug water from the bath house to your site. I'd recommend driving honestly.

It was beautiful, quiet and would’ve been incredible star gazing had the clouds dissipated. Felt safe and would’ve absolutely go back. Also, the portapotty was well maintained and that’s a bonus!

Overall, we had a good experience camping for three nights. Cindy, the camp host, was friendly and helpful and answered my questions readily when her phone had battery charge.
The tent sites were pretty much just some space on the edge of a large field with a few trees here and there. While spaced apart from the other sites, it didn’t have the same feel as most campsites. I did appreciate that there was a picnic table at every site.
The bathroom was clean and well maintained. The shower costs 25¢ for enough time to fully wash. There was also a porta potty nearby the tent sites so campers didn’t have to walk the two-tenths of a mile to the bathroom.
Lake Sena was a lot smaller than anticipated. Turns out it’s a sixty year old man-made lake that drains into a nearby river. The water was clean and refreshing and we enjoyed floating in our tubes for a while one afternoon.
The location of the campground was convenient and about 10 minutes from downtown Cle Elum. Directions from the freeway were accurate and easy to follow.

We had a great trip. The lake and location were fabulous and Cindy was friendly, responsive, and helpful.
The campground seems to be new and still developing. It has great potential but there are a few things to be aware of.
Address does not bring you to the site. The website has directions which got us there but it would be good to have that info on Hipcamp.
Shower takes quarters.
Tent sites are all in the field together. The trees block buildings and some of the RV sites but not the other tent camps. There is lots of room but you can see other humans.
The lake is small lake/large pond side. Great for swimming and floating but not kayaks or SUPs.
Water spigots are not at the tent sites. Bring a jug to fill up in the main camp.
None of these created a negative experience. They are just things that I would have liked to know.
We did have some difficulty during our trip because there seemed to be a lot of humans who belonged to just a few sites in the camp and not all of them were respectful of other campers space, noise pollution, and left so much trash all over. In addition to this the main bathroom had to be closed on our second day which meant no showers after the lake as expected and more importantly meant that ALL of the humans in camp were then utilizing a single portable toilet which rapidly became unsanitary.

T 7 Tent Site
We stayed at tent site 7. I spoke to the camp host on the phone upon arrival and she was super friendly, cordial and informative. Even gave us tips on local restaurants, which we wound up using to eat at Mike's.
We drove through the entire campground to check it out for future trips.
Our site was possibly the most shaded of the tent sites, being set underneath a grove of mixed pines and firs. We liked the shade as it was a warm day. The bathroom for the campground is quite deluxe with a full shower, flush toilets and sink. It was very clean.
The sites are well spaced and private. Some are right next to the beautiful pond, or scattered amongst the trees for the RV sites. The entire campground was quiet and peaceful.
As for background noise, if you listen carefully, you can hear the hum of I90 in the distance, as well as an occasional train, but neither of these kept us from sleeping. There is also an almost constant wind, but we have that at home too, so not a problem for us.
My only recommendations for this camp would be to double check and rewrite the directions, as they currently state to turn left from whichever way you are approaching. And also to give actual mileage of distances from major landmarks to the camp, as we found locating the road somewhat problematic.
As owners of our own Hipcamp, we are very aware of the importance of accurate directions.
That being said, we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this Hipcamp to others.

The upper RV campground seems pretty great-it has shade, space between sites, grass, and you are close to the bathrooms and trash. Bathrooms are very clean! However, the lower tent sites are pretty far removed from water, bathrooms, and trash. So if you have little kids that can't be left alone for at least 15 minutes while you take a trip to take care of necessities, I'd stay in the upper loop of RV sites. Site T6 is small and feels a little more private It has some shade, but the ground there seems to be freshly overturned dirt and everything gets very dusty and dirty, whereas the other tent sites are grassy. You can't beat the price for a tent campsite here!
