About
Halfway Flat Campground is nestled in an old-growth forest about 30 miles west of Naches, Washington, in the eastern Cascades. The campground offers eight sites along the Naches River, with vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump. Sites accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers, with pull-through driveways up to 115 feet and maximum vehicle lengths of 95-110 feet depending on the site. The cold, clear waters of the Naches River sustain populations of rainbow and brown trout, making fishing a primary draw. Whitewater enthusiasts can paddle the river or nearby tributaries. Hiking and horseback riding trails extend into the William O. Douglas and Norse Peak Wilderness areas, though horses and pack animals are not permitted at the campground itself. The campground sits conveniently located 30 minutes below the summit of Chinook Pass and Mount Rainier National Park. Off-road vehicle and snowmobile access draws visitors to the Little Naches drainage during appropriate seasons. Wildlife in the area includes deer, elk, porcupine, native fish, and migratory birds.
