Families with kids who fish or swim will get the most from the two floating docks and the accessible fishing dock. Smaller rigs under 25 feet handle the gravel access road without drama, and $20/night is fair for a lakeside site with potable water and a camp host on-site.
Big trailers at or near 30 feet will have a hard time on the narrow, steep Poorman Creek gravel road. Pack-out-only trash rules are a real hassle on longer trips, and there's no hookups, dump station, or showers anywhere on site.

The elevation is 2,800 ft. The campground is a large single loop for equestrian campers only, at the edge of Alpine Lakes Wilderness. The seasonal Black Pine Creek flows along one side of campground with sites on the creek side more open and sunny. Other sites enjoy ample shade from large Douglas fir, cedar, hemlock and other conifers. Maples and a variety of shrubs provide excellent privacy. All the campsites have pull-through parking aprons many of which can accommodate small portable corrals even though most have hitching rails.
Open May 1 through October 15.
The water system is solar powered.
The parking aprons are dirt. These pull-through sites will accommodate most any size tow vehicle/stock trailer combination.
In Leavenworth, WA, at the intersection of US Rt. 2 and Icicle Rd. (Leavenworth Nat'l Fish Hatchery), take Icicle Rd. south 18 miles to campground on left. NOTE: After 12.5 miles, Icicle Rd becomes Forest Rt. 76; it is a dirt, single-lane road with washboard surface.
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Summer is the prime window, with daytime highs between 65-80°F and nights dropping to 35-50°F. July through August sees the heaviest use, especially holiday weekends. The lake is fully accessible then, with docks in and the interpretive trail open. Cooler mornings and evenings persist even in peak season due to the elevation. The campground closes in winter under snow.
Prime season (June–Oct); lake fully accessible, hosts on site, comfortable daytime temps.
Black Pine Lake Campground offers essential amenities to ensure a comfortable camping experience. Potable water and restrooms are available on-site, and picnic tables are provided, enhancing the convenience for campers. However, there are no trash receptacles at the site, so visitors are required to pack out all their trash. This lack of trash facilities has been noted in user reviews, such as one camper mentioning, 'Wish there was a dumpster for campers' trash.'
