Some mention

noisecrowdedtrain

"Reviewers consistently praise Lake Easton’s scenic lake, clean restrooms, kid‑friendly paved loops and well‑maintained trails; the full‑hookup loop and large flat tent pads receive particularly positive notes. The most common negatives are persistent highway and train noise, variable site privacy (many sites are close together), limited showers in the tent loop, and summer crowding/day‑use areas filling early."

Best Time to Camp at Lake Easton State Park

Summer brings families for swimming, paddling, and shaded trail exploration, while winter transforms the park into a popular snow play destination for sledding and building snowmen. Be prepared for occasional strong winds, particularly in fall months, when gusts can bring down larger branches from the towering conifers above.

Spring (Mar-May)

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.

Best
Summer (Jun-Aug)

Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.

Fall (Sep-Nov)

Beautiful fall colors, cooler temps, quieter campgrounds. Ideal for peaceful trips.

Winter (Dec-Feb)

Off-season, limited services. Check for closures before visiting.

Planning Tips

    About Lake Easton State Park

    Nestled along the sparkling shores of Lake Easton in the heart of the Cascades, this family-friendly state park offers the best of mountain lake camping with spacious, level sites—especially in the highly-rated full-hookup lakefront loop. While the park delivers classic Pacific Northwest forest camping, swimming beaches, and miles of trails perfect for hiking and biking, it's important to know that I-90 and active railroad tracks run directly alongside the property, creating consistent road and train noise that's most noticeable in the tent camping areas.
    Two separate camping areas: a full‑hookup RV loop near the boat launch and a separate standard/tent loop about a mile apart. Group camping option(s) available.
    Weather and SeasonsSummer brings families for swimming, paddling, and shaded trail exploration, while winter transforms the park into a popular snow play destination for sledding and building snowmen. Be prepared for occasional strong winds, particularly in fall months, when gusts can bring down larger branches from the towering conifers above.
    Natural Features and SceneryTowering firs and pines create a cathedral-like canopy throughout the park, where the Yakima River meets Lake Easton in a quintessentially Pacific Northwest setting. Six miles of scenic trails wind through the dense forest, connecting to historic railroad corridors and leading adventurers to a sandy swimming beach and peaceful lake access points. The natural beauty is undeniable—think tall timber, dappled sunlight, and mountain lake views—though the wilderness experience is tempered by the visible presence of I-90's highway corridor and the rumble of passing freight trains that remind you civilization is never far away.

    Good to know

    Common complaintsConstant noise from Interstate‑90 and nearby freight trains (reported day and night) is the most frequent complaint. Many standard/tent‑loop sites lack privacy or visual buffers; shower availability is limited (one shower in standard loop), and day‑use/beach areas can fill early and become crowded in summer.
