South Fork Bay Campground

The South Fork Bay Campground sits within the stunning Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, offering a tranquil escape in Washington’s eastern Cascades. This dispersed camping area combines a rugged, natural setting with convenient access to recreational opportunities like Rimrock Lake and the Tieton River, where you can enjoy fishing, water activities, and scenic beauty. The mix of forested areas and open spaces provides a sense of seclusion while accommodating both tent and RV campers.

The campground’s location near Rimrock Lake, less than a mile away, enriches the experience with a variety of water-based recreation such as kayaking and fishing for trout or kokanee salmon. Adventurous visitors can explore nearby hiking trails, including segments of the famous Pacific Crest Trail. With its proximity to the Tieton River, late summer is particularly exciting for rafting enthusiasts when water releases create exhilarating whitewater flows. Basic amenities include vault toilets and picnic tables, but campers should be prepared for a true back-to-nature experience with no potable water or hookups available.

Located roughly 25 miles west of Naches, this campground is an ideal retreat for extended stays, weekend getaways, or staging outdoor adventures. Whether you’re rafting on thrilling rapids, hiking alpine trails, or unwinding in the calming shade of Ponderosa pines, South Fork Bay Campground provides an authentic wilderness escape surrounded by breathtaking Cascade Mountain scenery.
