Taneum campground
Taneum
Nearby points of interest include the Taneum Falls Trail, which leads to a beautiful waterfall, and the Cle Elum River, which is popular for fishing and swimming. The campground itself is equipped with amenities such as picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. It is a first-come-first-serve campground with 25 sites available.
An interesting fact about this area is that it was once home to a large herd of elk, which were hunted to near extinction in the early 1900s. The herd has since been restored and visitors may have the chance to spot elk in the surrounding forest.
The best time to visit the Taneum Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, with average temperatures ranging from the low 70s during the day to the low 40s at night. It is important to note that this area receives heavy snowfall during the winter months, which can make camping and hiking difficult.
