ElevationPerched at 3,300 feet above sea level, this mountain camping destination offers the perfect balance of accessibility and alpine atmosphere. The elevation provides cooler temperatures during summer months and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, while remaining low enough to extend the camping season well into autumn.
Natural Features and SceneryWake to the soothing symphony of the South Fork Tieton River as it winds through towering evergreen forests, creating a natural paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The crystalline waters reflect the surrounding mountain peaks, while ancient conifers provide a verdant canopy overhead. Just moments from the expansive Rimrock Lake, campers enjoy the best of both worlds—intimate riverside camping with easy access to broader water recreation. The landscape shifts from dense forest groves to open meadows, offering diverse ecosystems that support abundant wildlife and endless photographic opportunities.
Geological RegionNestled within the majestic Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, this camping area showcases the geological wonders of the Cascade Range. The South Fork Tieton River has carved its path through ancient volcanic terrain over millennia, creating the dramatic riverside canyon that campers enjoy today. The surrounding mountainous landscape tells the story of volcanic upheaval and glacial sculpting, while the proximity to Rimrock Lake—a reservoir created in the river valley—adds a modern chapter to this geological narrative. This unique positioning creates diverse microclimates and ecosystems, from riparian zones along the water's edge to montane forests climbing the surrounding slopes.
