About
Riders Camp sits at 4,200 feet elevation in the scenic Manastash Ridge area of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, northwest of Ellensburg. The campground is a favorite gathering spot for trail riders heading into the mountains on popular OHV and equestrian trails. The surrounding landscape features dense forests and views of the Cascade Mountains. The campground offers 11 single campsites and 3 double campsites with vault toilets and picnic facilities. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. The area sees heavy use during fall hunting season. Access is via Forest Road 3100 to spur road 114 from Manastash Road. Recreation opportunities include off-highway vehicle riding, horseback riding, hunting, fishing in nearby creeks, hiking, and wildlife watching. The campground accepts the Northwest Forest Pass and Interagency Recreation Passes, with fees payable via the Recreation.gov mobile app.
