The Cascade Campground was good, but I don’t like the sterile ‘modern’ tent pads and the lack of screening between sites. When I stayed, there was no camp host, and no water.
As there weren’t many people staying, I think there was a maximum of five sites occupied while I was there, the lack of a host wasn’t a problem. Despite the government shutdown, I noticed a ranger drove through at least once a day.
Water might have been a bit of a problem, but I’d packed my water filter and pouches, so I just went and got my supplies from Chalk Creek.
One thing to be aware of, if you consider staying here, is how cold it gets when the sun is lower in the sky. That’s because there’s effectively a 2,000 ft. high cliff immediately to the west, so the campground is in shadow for a good part of the day.
