Nestled along the forested banks of the pristine Bumping River, Cedar Springs Campground offers an intimate escape into the heart of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This charming riverside retreat serves as your gateway to year-round adventure, where summer days invite you to cast a line into crystal-clear waters and winter transforms the landscape into a snow-draped playground perfect for cross-country skiing. Whether you're seeking the thrill of whitewater rafting or the serenity of forest trails, this small but perfectly positioned campground provides the ideal basecamp for exploring the Pacific Northwest's natural wonders.
Cedar Springs Campground accommodates a variety of camping styles, including tent and RV camping. The sites are described as primitive, with limited facilities and no hookups.

Learn how ancient geological forces shaped these mountains, discover the delicate balance of flora and fauna that call this region home, and understand the role of fire in maintaining this dynamic ecosystem. Each sign along the trail adds another chapter to your understanding of this remarkable landscape's natural and cultural heritage.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal transformation of the Cascade Mountains at Cedar Springs. Summer arrives with warm, golden days perfect for riverside relaxation and trail exploration, while autumn paints the surrounding forest in brilliant hues. Winter blankets the campground in pristine snow, creating a wonderland for snow enthusiasts. Spring brings the excitement of snowmelt and rushing waters, with precipitation patterns that shift dramatically throughout the year, ensuring each visit offers its own unique character.
ElevationPerched within the embrace of a verdant alpine forest, Cedar Springs Campground offers that perfect mountain atmosphere where towering evergreens create a natural cathedral overhead and the crisp mountain air invigorates your senses.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to the gentle melody of the Bumping River flowing just steps from your tent, its clear waters home to rainbow, brook, and steelhead trout that dance beneath the surface. Towering conifers create a emerald canopy overhead, their branches filtering sunlight into magical patterns on the forest floor. For those seeking grander vistas, the nearby American Ridge Trail rewards hikers with breathtaking panoramas of sapphire alpine lakes nestled between dramatic ridgelines, where the raw beauty of the Cascades unfolds in every direction.
Geological RegionCedar Springs sits at the crossroads of diverse ecosystems within the magnificent Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Here, glacially carved alpine peaks pierce the sky along the Cascade Crest, their snow-capped summits feeding the streams below. The western slopes harbor ancient groves of towering old-growth forest, their moss-draped trunks telling stories of centuries past. As you venture east, the landscape gradually transforms into the rugged shrub-steppe country, creating a remarkable tapestry of environments that showcases the incredible diversity of Washington's natural heritage.
