The Dalles Campground Introduce

The Dalles Campground, located on WA-410 in Enumclaw, WA 98022, USA, is part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, providing a camping experience in the state of Washington. You can contact them at phone number (530) 932-0242 or mobile phone +1 530-932-0242.

According to customer reviews, The Dalles Campground is a "very nice camp" with campsites that are well separated from each other by both distance and vegetation, offering a degree of privacy. The campground is described as smallish, with just over 40 sites. The sites themselves are noted as large and generally clean.

The campground facilities include vault toilets, of which there are plenty, and they are reported to be mostly clean. Premium sites located next to the river are mentioned as being particularly inviting.

However, there are a couple of potential drawbacks to consider. One reviewer found the proximity to a busy highway to be "disconcerting," suggesting that noise from traffic might be noticeable. Additionally, there was an "apparent bear problem" mentioned, so campers should likely take necessary precautions regarding food storage and safety.

Access to the river from the campground is somewhat limited. The primary river access appears to be from the day-use area, while the rest of the campground has a high bank. A trail in the day-use area was reported to be closed due to downed trees, some of which seemed to have been down for an extended period.

On a more positive note, there is a good out-and-back trail that passes the "9.5 ft douglas fir tree" and connects to other trails across a bridge, offering opportunities for hiking. However, one reviewer noted that The Dalles Campground was a bit further from Mt Rainier National Park than they had anticipated, mentioning another larger campground called Silver Springs, located several miles down the road, as being closer to the park.

Overall, The Dalles Campground offers spacious and relatively private campsites in a potentially scenic location near a river. However, local users from Taiwan considering this campground should be aware of the potential noise from the nearby highway and the reported bear activity. River access is mainly through the day-use area, and some trails may be closed. If proximity to Mt Rainier National Park is a priority, it might be worth considering campgrounds closer to the park, such as Silver Springs. Despite these considerations, the clean facilities and well-separated sites can contribute to a great camping experience.

A very nice camp with sites that are well separated by both distance and vegetation. The proximity to a busy highway was disconcerting as was an apparent bear problem, but the vault toilets and the sites were all clean. The premium sites next to the river looked very inviting. It was a great experience.

Smallish campground with only 40+ sites. The sites were large and pretty clean. There is only vault toilets but plenty of them, and mostly clean. Really the only river access was from the day use area and the rest of the campground was very high bank. The trail in the day use area is closed due to downed trees. Many of them look as if they have been down longer than a single season. There was a good out and back trail passed the "9.5 ft douglas fir tree" which connected to other trails across the bridge. This campground was a bit further than I thought to Mt Rainier National Park. There was one bigger campground, and closer to the park, called Silver Springs several miles down the road.

09/16/2023: Our group managed to score the last river side camp spot (#31). It's a pretty steep access down to the river and you can hear it from the campsite. Site 31 is located across the vault toilet. Site is plenty large for 4 people.

Amazing campground great maintenance and fun little trails to explore. A nice little creek for playing in down a trail before the host camp site. Next to an outhouse very relaxing.

A lot of portables and running water. The river was nice as well. Don't go for the hiking, because the trail isn't long or great. It's less than a mile and ends at a road. Each campsite has a fire pit and picnic table, though my was pretty eroded and part of it was missing. My site was big, a bit uneven, but most seem to be. It was pretty quiet, even with no vacancies. Wood is readily available and costs $8. Make sure to lick up some old man's beard and flint and steel for the experience. Amenities - 4 Campground - 4 Hiking - 1
