Turn left onto Ash Lake Rd. heading East on SR-14. There is a pull out on the left side of the road, just around the bend past the brown hiking signage. The space is big enough for a large van to pull in safely away from road. Although there wasn’t any traffic on this road itself, but you can hear traffic down below. This spot is good for sleeping with close proximity to Stevenson, WA and the gorge without having to go off grid on gravel roads.
If you continue north up Ash Lake Rd to Blue Lake Rd, you can find nicer pullouts with fire rings and a large area overlooking small lake at the end of road. <-----XXXXXX
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
The Blue Lake road is partially closed, but you can travel it for about 100 yards. There’s a good pull off that takes you about 20 yards from the road. Level. NO FIRES ALLOWED! There’s no traffic either. It’s a dead road. Lots of Raspberry bushes so Yogi may be an issue.
EDIT: holy gawd! The sites are really close to the train tracks. The trains come through all the time, and they blast their horns right at the sites. It will blast you out of your bed. NOT the place for people or little ones who need to sleep. It could actually be traumatic to kids.
Report Check-InReally great after a long drive. You can see the river, bridge and hear the train!
Report Check-InAfter driving up Ash Lake Rd and making a right on Blue Lake Rd, we drove all the way to the government protected road, with an established gate. All pullouts on Blue Lake were pretty much taken up by what was seemingly, permanent stayers... Felt sketchy from the start, but that was further established by some scary visitors around sunset. We left and ended up at the first pullout on the left side of Ash Lake. Would suggest only this one, for its closest to humanity.
Report Check-InI drove up the road a bit, lots of pull offs. No signs that do not permit camping. Very little road traffic. Only noise was a train in the distance. For being off a paved road it felt very secluded. Easily fit my Skoolie.
