Ten Mile Campground

Ten Mile Campground is located along the seasonal Ten Mile Creek, a short walk from the Sanpoil River across State Highway 21 and 10 miles south of Republic, WA. Lightly used, it is a perfect campground for travelers desiring a quick overnight rest or a week of exploring and relaxing in the wonderful backcountry of Ferry County. Campsites are tucked against wooded slopes, providing shade throughout the afternoon and evening. Steep rocky ridges and slopes provide a beautiful backdrop while larch and Douglas fir provide lots of shade throughout the day. Ten Mile Creek typically runs through the campground from April through July, going dry as summer progresses. The Sanpoil River, approximately 100 yards east of the campground, provides lots of opportunities for waterplay and fishing. The Ten Mile hiking and mountain biking trail (2.5 miles) can be accessed directly from the campground and is part of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail; the Thirteen Mile Trail (16.5 miles), also part of the PNT, is three miles south. Both climb up from the Sanpoil River through forested canyon slopes and offer spectacular spring and early summer wildflowers and numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing. Within ten miles, Swan, Long, Ferry and Fish Lakes offer fishing, swimming and non-motorized boating, with canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding the most popular water sports; Long Lake is a fly fishing only lake. The Stonerose Interpretive Center & Eocene Fossil Site, a family-friendly museum and dig site where families can often take home their very own fossil, is 10 miles north within the City of Republic, and numerous backpacking and mountain biking opportunities are available along the Kettle Crest, 15 miles east of Republic. The five campsites are pleasant, with shade, tables, fire rings and flat parking spurs, three of them adjacent to seasonal Ten Mile Creek. The 10 Mile trailhead is within the campground, and a day-use area has parking, picnic tables and access to the Sanpoil River across the street. The campground includes a single accessible vault toilet. No potable water or garbage service is available.
