About
US Forest Service campground. The campground is a single loop above the scenic high Cascade Hideaway Lake. The campsites are tucked under a heavy canopy of mixed conifers, including douglas fir and hemlock. Rhododendron and ample spacing provide excellent privacy. A very attractive, tranquil campground. Recreation activities include non-motorized boating, and fishing. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
