Great place for camping and relaxing with your family. The forest rangers are great too and pleasant to talk to. My main reason for writing this review is to caution the people who are travelling from Ellensberg. The cops lay a trap there to strictly or falsely(sometimes) ticket you for silly or no reason. Please read the reviews on "Lower Kittitas County District Court" and know for yourself. I myself was ticketed for slowing down but not stopping at the stop sign(which am sure I did not), and the officer was pretty rude during the conversation (as if she was against the people visiting from the city). Sad part is you cant do anything about it. So be extremely cautious while travelling from Ellensberg.

Beautiful State Park. Didn’t get to explore much because of a down pour. But it was filled with the sounds of spring which was totally refreshing as was the rain.

Do I need a reservation to go camping with a tent and a pickup

Tim Lucas | Aug 17, 2021
Chris Wright | Aug 17, 2021

A reservation helps. All slots can be reserved, but if you don't have a reservation its first come first served. Check the pay station board for avaliable slots, as the individual sights aren't marked as to their availability.

Is the park currently open and can you just go for the day and swim??

Laly dyan | Aug 17, 2020
