About
Misery Spring Campground sits high in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington within the Umatilla National Forest. The campground offers sweeping panoramic views from Ray Ridge looking into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, making it a scenic basecamp for backcountry exploration. The campground is primitive with minimal facilities: a single vault toilet and picnic tables. There is no potable water, so campers must bring an adequate supply. The site is free to use and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. Access requires travel on forest roads from Pomeroy, Washington. The campground is popular with hunters and hikers seeking solitude and wilderness access. Wilderness restrictions apply when entering the adjacent Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.
