Buck Creek Pass Camp

Gorgeous drive up, but bring something with lots of ground clearance. Had to drive halfway down the mountain to get cell signal to warn off the second half of my group. Camp ground was clean, the grill was even recently re-coated. Sinage could be better but I also could have actually checked the map instead of driving around. River is fast, loud, and cold. Blissful after a very hot day, but if yo... Gorgeous drive up, but bring something with lots of ground clearance. Had to drive halfway down the mountain to get cell signal to warn off the second half of my group. Camp ground was clean, the grill was even recently re-coated. Sinage could be better but I also could have actually checked the map instead of driving around. River is fast, loud, and cold. Blissful after a very hot day, but if you camp right next to it you might want earplugs. We had three deer come and visit our campground, so be mindful of the wildlife. Our grounds were next to the toilets, but I never smelled anything, making it quite convenient. Mosquitos were oppressing in the morning. We ended up packing out fast and making breakfast elsewhere on the mountain further from the water.

I really don't want to review this campsite because it is such a gem and hidden treasure! Buck creek campground is directly on the raging Buck Creek in some of the most beautiful part of Washington. I've stayed here with my family on many occasions. There is always a camp host on site, bathrooms but no hook ups. Must make reservations and the spots go fast.

What a beautiful, remote campground after a rough drive in. We hauled in our 16 foot Airstream on 10 miles of paved road, then 1 mile of wide gravel, then 4 miles of barely single lane gravel, with low tree canopy, many pot holes, steeps sides, and very few turn around points or turn outs. We were lucky and didn't meet a trailer coming from the other direction. The creek in July was more like a... What a beautiful, remote campground after a rough drive in. We hauled in our 16 foot Airstream on 10 miles of paved road, then 1 mile of wide gravel, then 4 miles of barely single lane gravel, with low tree canopy, many pot holes, steeps sides, and very few turn around points or turn outs. We were lucky and didn't meet a trailer coming from the other direction. The creek in July was more like a raging river and quite noisy but pleasant sounding for sites not immediately adjacent to the creek. Most of one loop has been blocked off and is no longer accessible by trailers per signage because there is no turn around, but small trailers like mine could still be backed in and pulled out forward. Sites 21-26 are all on an active loop and approved for trailer access. I've only pulled a 16 foot trailer but I wouldn't think any thing over 18-20 feet should be taken in due to the narrow roads and tight loop turn. Sites are very clean, shaded, and large with flat 10x10 sand tent pads. There are no utilities, cell service or ranger on site. I didn't check out the pit toilet but they are the solid concrete type. Day time temps July 22, 2022 was high 74, low 57. Cost was $21/night with extra charge for extra vehicles. We used our Sr. Pass and got the site for $11. I only gave it 4 stars due to the drive in and would only go again with a tent due to the road.

This campground was gorgeous! Right on the water and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy swimming in the deeper areas, or just lounging on the bank. The camp host was super friendly and helpful, he made us feel very welcome. They could do a little better about cleaning out the vault toilets (IE spraying them out with water and emptying when full) but overall the facilities were alright. The camp...

The camp host was super friendly and helpful, he made us feel very welcome. They could do a little better about cleaning out the vault toilets (IE spraying them out with water and emptying when full) but overall the facilities were alright. The camp sites themselves were clean, with durable fire pits / tables and tent pads. I can't wait to visit again next year!

We love the quiet, serenity, and beauty of this campground. We stayed in spot #1 which came with a log shelter and was right on the creek. There isn't a camp host anymore so bathrooms weren't as well attended to as they were when we camped here a few years ago, bring toilet paper to be safe! There is no water also but garbage service is provided. Last time we were here in later August and wenwer... We love the quiet, serenity, and beauty of this campground.

There is no water also but garbage service is provided. Last time we were here in later August and wenwere able to see salmon spawning, think we were too early this year. There is a great beach that is perfect for wading in the water or reading a book.
