About this campground
Nestled deep within the Entiat Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Three Creek Group Campground offers an enchanting riverside retreat where towering evergreens frame the rushing waters of the Entiat River. This mountain sanctuary serves as your gateway to adventure, with prime fishing spots above the dramatic Entiat Falls and an extensive network of trails—both hiking and motorized—that wind their way through wildflower meadows and into the pristine backcountry of the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Whether you're casting a line at dawn or setting off on a high-country expedition, this campground provides the perfect basecamp for exploring one of Washington's most spectacular forest landscapes.
Three Creek Group Campground is primarily designed for group camping, featuring three separate tent or trailer areas that accommodate approximately 30 individuals and 10 vehicles. It lacks hookups and is suitable for non-electric group camping experiences.
Historical Significancenull
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal contrasts of the Cascade Mountains, where sun-drenched summer days invite endless outdoor adventures and crisp, clear winter skies frame snow-dusted peaks in crystalline beauty. This remarkable region showcases nature's extremes—from the rain-soaked western slopes receiving up to 140 inches of precipitation annually near the Cascade Crest, to the arid eastern edges where only 10 inches fall each year. Summer visitors bask in warm temperatures perfect for river activities and high-altitude exploration, while winter transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland of snow and solitude.
ElevationSet within a dramatic vertical landscape that captures the essence of the Cascades, the campground rests in a mountain environment where elevations span an incredible range—from river valleys below 1,000 feet to soaring peaks that pierce the sky at over 9,000 feet. This remarkable elevation gradient creates diverse ecosystems and microclimates, offering visitors the chance to experience everything from temperate riverside forests to alpine tundra, all within a single adventurous day trip from camp.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a landscape that reads like a love letter to the Pacific Northwest, where ancient forests carpet the mountainsides and glaciated peaks scrape the clouds above. From your campsite, witness the stunning transition from dense stands of old-growth timber to open shrub-steppe country, each ecosystem supporting its own cast of wildlife characters. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic mule deer browsing at forest edges, elk bugling across mountain meadows, and the powerful silhouettes of bald and golden eagles soaring overhead. The forest symphony includes the rhythmic drumming of woodpeckers by day and the haunting calls of owls echoing through the darkness, creating an unforgettable wilderness soundtrack.
Geological RegionThree Creek Group Campground sits at the heart of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest's geological wonderland, where ancient tectonic forces and glacial artistry have sculpted a landscape of extraordinary diversity. This dynamic region showcases nature's full palette—from the ice-carved amphitheaters of glaciated alpine peaks to the gentle river valleys cloaked in centuries-old forests. The dramatic elevation changes, plunging from below 1,000 feet to summits exceeding 9,000 feet, create a vertical mosaic of life zones. Here, lush old-growth forests give way to open shrub-steppe environments, each providing critical habitat for the region's abundant wildlife and offering visitors a front-row seat to one of the most ecologically diverse landscapes in the American West.
