About
Ponderosa Campground offers a rugged, no-frills camping experience in the heart of the Little Naches OHV recreation area within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Situated at 2,800 feet elevation off Forest Road 1903, this dispersed camping area provides space for approximately 5-6 camp groups in non-designated spots that can collectively accommodate around 9 vehicles. The campground is especially popular with 4x4 enthusiasts, as nearby trails provide direct access for off-highway vehicles. Facilities are minimal: one vault toilet and a bulletin board with an iron ranger for fee payment. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. Payment is $8 per night, payable via cash, check, or the Recreation.gov Scan and Pay mobile app (cellular service may be limited). Interagency Senior and Access pass holders receive a 50% discount on the single site fee. Access is via Little Naches Road (Forest Road 19) to Road 1903, approximately 32 miles west of Naches.
