Camping at Blue Lake Creek Campground - Gifford Pinchot Nf (Wa) near Randle

Public campground · Randle · 11 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Blue Lake Creek is positioned for multi-use trail access more than lakeside lounging: the campground opens onto the Valley Trail system (used by OHV riders, mountain bikers, hikers and horseback riders) that connects to more than 50 miles of motorized routes, and the shorter High Log Trail is strictly for foot traffic down to the Cispus River where fishing and other water activities are possible. Hikers wanting the turquoise waters and mountain scenery of Blue Lake follow Valley Trail #270 to the Blue Lake Trail a moderately difficult route.

“The area was fairly dispersed with a pretty creek nearby. There were bathrooms. We just slept here overnight and hit the road the next day.”
