Cle Elum River Campground — Hotel in Cle Elum

Great campground! I would definitely go back here. The river looked like it was dried up, but found running water in the field about 1-1.5 feet deep, just enough to cool off. We walked downstream a bit and found a nice swimming hole about 4 ft deep. Very nice! Bathrooms were okay, quite a few flies, but well stocked with toilet paper.

For whatever activities you’re interested in (camping, boating, hiking, off-roading), I recommend researching the area and marking your map in advance as data coverage stops near the...

The facilities were clean and it is right next to cle Elum river so you get this wonderful wooshing river sounds all around. Very soothing! Plan for an hour or two traipsing around Roslyn if possible quaint artsy...
