Hause Creek Campground

Hause Creek Campground is located along the Tieton River in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington's Cascade Range. Warm summer days and access to a multitude of recreational activities make the campground an ideal setting for both individual and family camping excursions. Hikers, anglers, skiers and rafters all find something here through the year. River enthusiasts may enjoy a whitewater rafting trip on one of the many scenic rivers in the area. The Tieton River is especially exciting in September when the Bureau of Land Reclamation floods the Tieton Valley, releasing fast and furious water. The campground offers standard and tent-only sites. This is a non-electric, no-water facility, so campers will need to bring their own supply. The Okanogan-Wenatchee is a unique National Forest, where high, glaciated alpine peaks tower along the Cascade Crest. Lush valleys of old-growth forest define its western boundary, and at its eastern edge rugged shrub-steppe country comprises a more arid region. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet, and visitors can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer and plenty of snow in the winter. Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail is one of the most popular places in the Naches District, where visitors can walk the accessible trail along the river or explore Boulder Cave, with interpretive signs explaining the geology, plants, animals and fire history of the area. Hikers may want to traverse a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail, which winds from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington. The Goat Rocks Wilderness is nearby; its peaks are remnants of an extinct volcano, taking the name "Goat Rocks" in honor of the mountain goats traversing this isolated region.
