About

Hause Creek Campground is located along the Tieton River below Rimrock Lake Dam in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, just off U.S. Highway 12. The campground provides 42 campsites including standard and tent-only configurations, with vault toilets but no potable water or electrical hookups available. The setting offers warm summer days ideal for family camping excursions. The campground serves as a base for diverse recreational activities throughout the year. River enthusiasts can enjoy whitewater rafting on the Tieton River, which becomes especially exciting in September when the Bureau of Land Reclamation floods the Tieton Valley, releasing fast-moving water. Anglers can fish the Tieton River, while hikers have access to numerous trails including the nearby Pacific Crest Trail and the popular Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail. The surrounding Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest features dramatic landscape diversity, from high glaciated alpine peaks along the Cascade Crest to lush valleys of old-growth forest, with elevations ranging from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet. The campground operates seasonally with some sites available for reservation through Recreation.gov and others on a first-come, first-served basis. Campers should come prepared with their own water supply and be ready to pay camping fees with cash or check. The maximum trailer length is 30 feet, and ADA-accessible sites are available.

Directions
