CAMPSITE #43 REVIEW, 2ND BEST CAMPSITE @ Bumping Lake Campground! | 4K Washington Okanogan-Wenatchee
This is a 4K Video Campsite Review of Campsite #43, my recommendation as the 2ND BEST CAMPSITE @ Bumping Lake Campground in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington!
Bumping Lake Campground is an ultra high quality premium Developed Campground, particularly Campsites #45, #43, #44 in that rank order priority, which are close to the Shoreline Zone of Bumping Lake! I visited for 3 nights the Weekend of September 16, 2023. The Lake water levels were low creating a very large Shoreline area. The "Boat Ramp" went to bone dry Shoreline and was completely unusable. I happened to be there the weekend it transitioned from Summer to Fall/Winter, and experienced 80F days on the front end, leaves falling en masse, rainy storms and ultimately below freezing temperatures on the tail end of my trip.
This is a 4K Video Playlist highlighting Bumping Lake, Bumping Lake Campground, and Bumping River and includes Narrated Hiking Videos, Silent Perspectives Videos & Individual Campsite Review Videos.
HIKING TRIP PLAN HACK - I would very highly recommend using Bumping Lake Campground (or Soda Springs Campground) as your base Camp to explore the North and/or Eastern Zone of Mount Rainier National Park! I spent a Day of my trip on an all day excursion starting at Sunrise Rim Trailhead and exploring the North Zone of Mount Rainier National Park, particularly Burroughs Mountain Trail (I have a separate Video Playlist for that Area). Google Maps is misleading because it indicates about 1 Hour, 45 Minute One-Way Drive - I found that the algorithm massively overestimates the time it takes to go down the 12 Mile Bumping Road safely, so it actually ended up being more like in the range of 1 Hour 15 Minutes to 1 Hour 20 Minutes to Mount Rainier North. Also, you get the private spacious secluded experience of being at a Lake rather than a massive somewhat sardined National Park Campground. Not trying to throw shade at the National Park Campgrounds and they vary a bit in Quality amongst them, but a more private secluded experience can be had at Bumping Lake in my humble opinion.
As a side note, Bumping River Road is about 12 Miles from the Highway to Bumping Lake Campground, and has multiple Developed Campgrounds along the way which are Shoreline to Bumping Lake - I visited them all and my other Recommendation for this Zone other than Bumping Lake Campground is Soda Springs Campground, particularly Campsite #20 (I have a separate Video Playlist for that Area). If I was booking a Developed Campground I would do either Bumping Lake Campground #45, #43, #44 or Soda Springs Campground #20, these are world-class premium Campsites!
As a further side note, Bumping River Road also has somewhere between a half dozen to a dozen National Forest Road turnouts with Backcountry Camping directly on the meandering Shoreline of Bumping River. It is genuinely world class River Backcountry Camping, in the very top tier I'd say, a bit of an undiscovered gem and well kept secret. I saw multiple Campsites right up against the River - if one is risk-adventure inclined, I would recommend packing up your gear and "going for it" finding a Backcountry Campsite, depending on your timing you have a very high probability of success of landing an absolutely epic legendary Campsite.
Bumping River is an approximately 25-Mile ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL RIVER that flows through Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (particularly the historic Wenatchee side). Bumping River is a tributary of Naches River, Naches River is a tributary of Yakima River, and Yakima River is a tributary of Columbia River, so Bumping River is part of the greater Columbia River Basin, and in my humble opinion one of the most scenic "money sections" due to its Forested Topography. Bumping River has a bit of that undiscovered gem well kept secret vibe, it is a world-class River that would a primary draw in many other States, but because of the bounty of beauty in Washington, and perhaps a bit by design, it manages to stay a bit under the radar.
