Foggy Dew Campground, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Methow Valley Ranger District, Washington
Tent campers who prioritize seclusion over comfort will do well here, especially on the left-side sites near the creek confluence. Bottom-of-the-loop sites offer both the best privacy and the best creek access. Brook trout fishing, mountain biking trails, and day hikes start righ
No potable water on-site means hauling everything in from Carlton or Twisp, and the vault toilets have drawn repeated complaints about maintenance. Weekend motorbike and horse traffic on nearby trails breaks the quiet more than you'd expect for a spot this small.

The elevation is 2,100 ft. The campground has two sections on either side of entrance. Campsites on the left stretch between Foggy Dew Creek and Gold Creek with a few sites on each creek's bank. The sound of rushing water can be heard throughout campground. Sites in the left section can accommodate small recreation vehicles and tents. Campsite parking aprons in the right section are better suited to recreation vehicles. However, this section is further from the creeks and sites are more open. Ponderosa pine, along with Douglas fir and a few Aspen, offer shade to most sites. A thick understory and generous separation between sites, especially in the left section, provide excellent privacy. The right section lacks these features and has poor privacy. Little is left of the campground's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) origin except for a small sitting pavilion at the entrance.
Open mid-May through October 31
The parking aprons are dirt and irregular in shape.

Summer delivers mid-70s to mid-80s days and 40s-to-50s nights, with dry trails and accessible forest roads. This is peak season for creek fishing, swimming, and biking. Weekends fill quickly. Spring brings cool mornings and rain that awakens wildflowers. Fall turns the aspens gold and introduces crisp air. Winter closes in with snow and subfreezing temperatures, transforming the area into a quieter landscape for those equipped to handle it.
Peak season: mid-70s–80s, fishing, biking, trails dry; weekends fill quickly.
Foggy Dew Campground provides basic amenities suitable for tent and small RV camping. "Picnic tables are available at this site" and "Restrooms are available at this site" according to authoritative sources. However, potable water is not available, and campers must carry out their own waste due to the lack of trash receptacles. Vault toilets with wheelchair accessibility are provided, but user reviews note that the restrooms can be "relatively clean" or "a bit rough and not maintained right now." Grills are available for cooking or campfires.
