With 300ft of private waterfront river access across 4 acres, River's Edge provides easy access to the best fly fishing in Washington state. There are endless opportunities to relax, fish and enjoy a quiet stretch of the Yakima River. Complete with 4 RV hook-ups offering 30/50 AMP + water service and 4 tent only sites, you can enjoy this slice of unique Washington wonderland with your whole family. Rustic and remote, you will feel instant peace and relaxation as you arrive. Just over an hour east of Seattle sits our beautiful property. It's an easy and beautiful drive on I-90 all the way, then a short drive to the property. Being on the east side of the Cascades, this campground is almost always sunnier than the city, warmer in the summer, and snowier in the winter. But the riverfront is where the true magic is. Fly fishing and bird watching heaven! Many hours have been spent relaxing in, on, or near the river with friends, family, and dogs. It's always changing, always alive, and that's why we love it. If you need supplies, groceries or a restaurant, the town of Ellensburg is just 13 minutes away, and the fun town of Cle Elum/Suncadia resort with its restaurants and the Swiftwater Winery, is about 22 minutes away. Remote yet connected! Our property amenities include a shared, central fire pit & gazebo/table/chairs for all guests to use. There is a flush toilet available on site (however no shower or laundry access). Our site is intentionally rustic and we can't wait to share it with others who love being outdoors with nature. Suggested Packing list: River shoes, bug spray, sun hat, suncreen, camping chairs, binoculars, layers (it can go from chilly to blazing and back again), a good book, board games, s'more supplies, floaties/life jackets, leashes/poop bags.Your group will have the property entirely to yourselves! 3 crushed gravel pads with electrical and water hookups for RVs and can easily accommodate 3+ tents. 10 guests are included in the base price. NO WOOD OR CHARCOAL FIRES AT INDIVIDUAL SITES TO REDUCE FIRE RISK, PLEASE. We follow all county fire codes and bans. Pack-in, pack-out all trash including food. Be respectful of our neighbors, access road and noise.

Camping and concerts!

26 ft travel trailer

Convenient for concert at the gorge. Beautiful spot on the Yakima River. We arrived at dark and it wasn’t well lit. So hook up wasn’t ideal. First gate a little janky, but nice to be safe behind two gates. We had one neighbor, then were kind and had a dog. Price was worth it. Would go back!

Quiet along the river

19 ft campervan

This property is extraordinary. It has power/water at most sites and very nice restroom facilities. The owners are easy to communicate with and readily available. We loved being by the river, it was quiet, and private. Highly recommend.

Site #2 was right on the river. We parked facing the river and the was more than enough room for our shore power to reach. (Connection was near the front of the camper.) Rest room outside the gate was clean. Quiet weekend only disturbed by the every once in a while train. River access was nice and since the water was low enough a wading pond was out front. No dump station on site, we used the Indian John Hill on I-90 heading west since it’s on the way. Only gripe, wish the gate were automated since we went to and from a couple times. Definitely will be back if going to concerts out in the gorge again.

I loved camping here with my cousin! The morning was so beautiful to look at the river and enjoy the serenity of the world around us. I will say that you should prioritize getting there in the daylight, we had gotten there after dark which made everything confusing. Overall such an amazing place-thank you for having us!

It's quiet. We only heard the train noise.The property could use a little sprucing up. We would stay again.
