Dispersed camping located near Rimrock Lake with RV and tent sites.
Loud Bass Mexican Music played all day then all night.. still blaring now after 1 am! I enjoy Mexican music But not 20 hours straight!! Crazy people Right now Are STILL Partying around their Huge Camp fire With signs posted NO Campfires! Because High Risk! WTH!! All day ..Atvs racing in and out by same group of about 45+ people adults and children.
It says Be respectful of Neighbors quiet hours start at 10pm ! So Drained & Exhausted from all the yelling, LOUD music and noisy atvs .
I Travel all over National Forests through out North America! For years now this has been a complete nightmare . Seriously blaring music ALL day and loud Atvs spinning up dust back and forth all day ..People go to National Forest for Nature, read, relax, maybe even enjoy being able to listen to the river.. not a bunch of drunkards, dropping trash everywhere and acting like they own the the right to disturb everyone else's peace. Both dumpsters are overflowing with their garbage.. not impressed. It looks like an encampment .. 5 massive tents, 7 smaller ones, all squeezed into 2 campsites ! Plus 3 to four shade canopy's some down on the river with more grills and more loud amplifiers to blare their music all day across the water . Not a moment of peace! Not one other site had fires or music blaring.. What a fiasco! These entitled people look like plan on staying put. Im out of here!!
Be prepared for climate changes and have fun. I enjoyed not seeing all the trash because of the beautiful snow covered it up. What's wrong with people? chopping live trees don't burn. If you don't know how to camping and take your trash out , stay home !!! Forest Department needs to post rewards for people who destroy our lands.
Beautiful, breathtaking, peaceful. No facilities available, so.make sure to bring all your needs with you. Free campsites with fire rings right on the river.
Beautiful and very spacious place for some last minute camping. We were so happy to found this place after checking other campsite everything was reserved. Don't mind coming back this way hopefully, this time we are more prepared for the mosquito attacks tho.
Lots of places to camp up and down forest service road 580. The further you go down the road the less people there are. This place fills up with whitewater boaters and river rafting companies starting Labor Day Weekend and for the month of September. Water is released from Rimrock Lake making the Tieton River turn from a lazy creek into some Class III+ whitewater rapids. I have been camping and guiding rafts just down stream of this exact spot since 2007. I have hiked all over the area and around Rimrock Lake. I know where some cool waterfalls are and how to get to the top of goose-egg mountain. Book a trip with Alpine Adventures and maybe I will see you on the river. Drive up to the airport and check out the lake, it's a special place.
The area around Rimrock Lake was the fall hunting grounds for the Yakima Indians. Goose-Egg mountain and the surrounding area is a sacred place. Every fall Indian tribes would gather here to hunt, trade, play music, and share stories. People still gather here every fall and celebrate the river, sit around camp fires, eat food, and tell stories.
