The Cle Elum River Campground is an ideal spot for large family and group camping, fishing, swimming, and birding in the summer, while winter brings opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. Fishermen can find rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and kokanee salmon in the river and nearby reservoir. The alpine peaks, mixed-conifer forest, and diverse wildlife make it a great spot to stay or just stop by for some water access, a bathroom break, and picnic tables.
