Indian Creek Campground is located at the edge of Rimrock Lake in the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington's North Cascades Range. The campground's proximity to high alpine lakes, lush forests and towering peaks in nearby wilderness areas make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Indian Creek Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, ski, raft and enjoy a multitude of recreational activities throughout the year.
Beautiful rivers and streams, high elevation lakes and reservoirs provide an endless number of fishing opportunities for the experienced and beginning angler. Opportunities abound to pursue or view the legendary salmon and steelhead, several species of trout or a variety of warm-water fish.
River enthusiasts enjoy whitewater rafting trips 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 several standard sites, perfect for both tent and RV camping. Picnic tables, vault toilets and drinking water are provided. No electrical hookups are available.
Rimrock Lake, adjacent to the campground and along the course of the Tieton River, is surrounded by rugged mountain terrain, wetlands and diverse conifer forests.
The area around the campground supports wildlife such as mountain goats, native fish and migratory birds. Endangered and threatened species, including American bald eagles, northern spotted owls, gray wolves and grizzly bears also find havens in nearby areas.
Precipitation varies greatly thoughout the area, ranging from approximately 140 inches along the Cascade Crest to only 10 inches along the eastern edge. Visitors to the area can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer, and plenty of snow in the winter.
This location has limited staffing. Please call (661) 702-1420 for general information.
Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail is one of the most popular places in the Naches District. Visitors can walk the accessible trail along the river or explore Boulder Cave. Interpretive signs along the trail explain the geology, plants, animals and fire history of the area.

Had a great experience except for the "camp host" he was super picky and made us feel uneasy when patrolling by in his golf cart. The provided toilets were nice, but ran out of toilet paper quickly.
Clean, well cared for, quiet, camp host was friendly. Great views and access to the lake.. Full marks.
We had a blast. Camp was perfect. The host was so cool. 3 days of camping bliss. We will be back for sure.
It was completely full but still felt spacious with spread apart campground. Potties available and dinking water. 20$ a night. Beach was very close but beware of muddy spots. Great for kids and lots of bikers. Dina are allowed but must be in leash at all times. Beautiful place
Great location numerous activities. Lake, river and trails good for short family hikes.
Campground sites are generally large with adequate privacy. Basically no cell service and a bit too close to the Hwy. Clear Lake is only a couple miles West with many activities. Hiking Round Mountain and exploring rivers and waterfalls
