About
South Fork Group Campground is located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest along the South Fork of the Tieton River. Nestled in in the eastern Cascade Mountains, the campground offers warm summer days and access to a multitude of recreational activities, making it an ideal setting for large family and group gatherings. This area offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, ski, raft and enjoy a multitude of outdoor recreational activities throughout the year. Rimrock Lake lies less than a mile from the campground. Whether casting a line out for kokanee salmon or trout or paddling a kayak along the shore, visitors will enjoy the mountainous terrain as a backdrop for a myriad of water-based activities. River enthusiasts may enjoy a whitewater rafting trip on one of the many scenic rivers in the area. The Tieton River is especially exciting in September, when the Bureau of Reclamation floods the Tieton Valley, releasing fast and furious water. The group campground offers nine designated spurs and can accommodate up to 80 people and 20 vehicles. The site is equipped with picnic tables, vault toilets and a group campfire ring.
