The campground was quiet and well maintained. The outhouse was clean and not smelly! Campsite #2 is definitely the best!

It’s unfortunate, but this is my second review of the same campground for the same reservation date. So not certain what happened. Regardless, we enjoy the North Cascades Okanagan National Forest and particularly areas near a flowing creek. Our only disappointment relates to the one and only Loo for this campground. We enjoy many remote areas in Washington State and don’t necessarily rely on the availability of full services for our camping needs. The River Bend campground however is an exception. It’s a health hazard waiting to happen. The structure is deteriorating, particularly the area encompassing the septic vent. Flies and rodents have easy access and actually seen emanating from the exposed septic pit. I do hope a replacement facility will be seen in the very near future. Our parks deserve better.

Great site - could not get the recreation app to recognize the QR code had to drop the trailer and drive back to find cell coverage to pay.
