We stopped for just one night so never saw showers or bathrooms but our stay was very nice. Fast check-in and friendly escort to our site. There is a river running through the property with nice water front sites. If we were to stay longer we would have reserved one. 4/6/2021

The water was turned off on our slot, even though had requested one with water. 4/5/2021

Check-in and help with finding our site was exceptional! 4/5/2021

What a beautiful place to stay. Fortunately we had a relatively full tank of water. I was sad to see that your water was turned off. 4/4/2021

Stayed in a cabin this time. Have stayed in RVs there several times. As always the grounds and facilities were clean and maintained. The cabins are close to the road and the road noise was much more than at the RV sites... 4/3/2021

There are few mountaintops in Washington that are accessible by such a short and easy trail. Red Top is a great trail for kids and for adults wanting a half-day hike in the Teanaways. This area is also considered one of the best by valley rock hounds.

From I-90, take exit 85 and go north on Hwy. 97 North for 18 miles. Just past the Mineral Springs Campground, go north on FR 9738. In 2.6 miles, go left on FR 9702. Drive 4.5 miles to the trailhead at the picnic area, elevation 5,000 feet. NW Forest Pass required.
