Overview
Three Creek Campground is a group-only site on the Entiat River, approximately 36 miles up the Entiat River Road. Tucked in a forested section of the upper valley, the campground is best suited for groups of around 20 people and accommodates up to 30. Reservations are required through Recreation.gov; there are no individual or first-come, first-served sites. Despite being in a forested setting, most of the camping area receives a good amount of sun.
The Entiat River is just 20 yards from the group site and easy to reach. Fishing is permitted on this stretch. A pit toilet is on-site; there is no potable water, so bring enough for your group or plan to filter. No hookups are available. Several upper-valley trailheads are within a short drive, and the campground makes a solid base for group backcountry trips into the Glacier Peak Wilderness.
