My family has been spending time in this little town nestled in the eastern slope foothills of the Cascades for 50+years, so I'm kinda partial! Conconully State Park has changed a little over the years and just keeps getting better and better! With the addition of rentable cabins with electricity and a wonderful play area for children (and parents 🤣) and an updated bathroom with multiple stalls and showers that are phenomenal (no charge) there are plenty of fish in the lake adjacent to the park and another lake less than 1/2 a mile at the other end of town. And many, many of miles of good condition road's to explore further into the Cascades on side-by-side, ATVs, 4x4s and pretty much anything people get a wild hair to drive into the woods. I've personally seen a really nice Camaro up above Salmon Meadows out towards Tiffany mountain, which is definitely not a trail you expect to see a nice Camaro. You can also drive from Conconully in any car a route through the woods all the way over to the Methow valley to Winthrop WA and go over baldy mountain pass which is a beautiful 40ish mile drive through the woods.

It was easy to find right in town on Conconully Reservoir. There are three campgrounds – main, south camp and west camp. In the main campground wites have straight level gravel pads with picnic tables and firepit in grass beside pads. Easy to park and hookup. Grass was mown, and the park was well cared for. Lots of geese, large picnic area with playground and old trees for shade. Small boat launch at west camping area which was tightly packed with small spaces. The west campground was very rustic with rustic boat launch and large parking area. Lots of people riding ATV’s on park roads and public roads nearby. No signs in park about ATV trails but there must be trails nearby. Water and electric sites were just as nice as tent sites with lots of room but not much privacy. No...
Read moreCamp hosts are so friendly and help to create the relaxation mode we were after. The lake(s) are stunning to look at and even better to boat and fish in.
Both the tent sites and cabins are easy to access and unload all your stuff for your vacation.
Bathrooms are clean and very well kept.
(Beware of the large flock(?) of geese and their droppings that call this park home)
The sunsets and views all around the area really surprised me in how beautiful and relaxing it made us feel.
What surprised me was how friendly the locals are. From the current and former owners of Shady Pines resort (just around the corner) for our ATV rental to the sweetest karaoke and owner of Liars Cove, you start to feel like they are your old friends. The people in this town made our visit over the top with their friendliness and welcoming spirit.
