Whispering Pines RV Park

I recently had a business conference at nearby Suncadia resort. The $250/night rooms at the resort were not as appealing as bringing my house with me and staying at Whispering Pines.

We had a great overall experience.The sites are spacious and our site was relatively private. Each site has 50/30/20 amp, cable TV, and water hook-ups. There were trash bins every few sites. There are no sewer hookups due to the Yakima River being literally a few feet from the campground. The park is well maintained but not overly manicured. They've got a reasonable well equipped RV parts store. There's a bathhouse that appears to be relatively new.

We arrived Thursday night after hours. The campstore was closed but the camp hosts were kind enough to stay up long enough to greet us and direct us to our site. In the morning we registered and paid at the campstore. We met the owners who were friendly and welcoming.

We liked the proximity to Cle Elum (about a mile to downtown), Roslyn (a couple miles), and Suncadia Resort (about 5 miles). We visited restaurants and stores at each place during our four day stay.

This campground is dog friendly. There's an off leash dog run. There's also a nice hiking trail along the Yakima River.

The name Whispering Pines is a bit ironic, because realistically the only thing you'll hear is the traffic on I-90. Tent trailer and tent campers may want to bring ear plugs or run a fan for some white noise.

The noise level from I-90 is the only negative thing I have to say. We'll stay here again next time we have occasion to visit the Cle Elum, Roslyn, Suncadia area.

This park is situated right across the highway from Cle Elum, close to shopping, coffee and restaurants. It's treed and rustic, with paved roads and gravel, level, sites. Some sites have full hook-ups and some have only water and electric. No Wi-Fi. The campground lies directly adjacent to the Yakima river, and some sites actually back up to the river, though there is a high bank, so there are only one or two site where you might actually have a view of the river. You also can't hear it, as the highway noise is pretty loud — loud enough that it makes opening windows unpleasant. Quiet campground otherwise, with well-spaced sites. There's an RV parts and repair right next door, owned by the same people. Lots of mosquitoes in summer!

Dog-friendly; good walking trail along the river. Great Verizon reception.
