Teanaway Boondocking

[kipkohl]

Looking for info about the Teanaway Community Forest (WA state) and camping. Just wondering if anyone here has stayed in the area, and your impressions.
We'll be pulling a 20ft Geo-Pro with a small pickup. Is the terrain trailer friendly, are the camping areas relatively quiet and private? Access to the river? Likelihood of finding a spot midweek?
We're brand new to trailer camping and want to do a shake down trip near to home (Olympia, Wa). We're not really interested in staying at a big RV campground, but are looking for quieter, more secluded areas. We're pretty well set up for solar & battery capacity, and our tanks will allow for a couple of days (I think).
I understand not wanting to advertise favorite spots, but any info would be greatly appreciated.

Kip

The teanaway community forest is pretty popular. Right now there's a road closure in the area so a couple other campgrounds might not be available if you don't find space in the teanaway campground.

Just for the fun of it there's a closer site for boondocking on the West side. Look up "Buck Creek Campground" near Enumclaw. Right off hwy 410 just E of Greenwater (11.8 mi).

It's next to the Ranger Creek Airstrip and this time of year there are frequent light planes landing or just practicing touch and go's. Just enough to be entertaining and not enough to be annoying.

I'm planning on being there Mon. 6-12 til Thu 6-15. If you camp at the NNW part of the campground off the end of the airstrip you might have breakfast guests. When I stay there a herd of elk often grazing in the large cleared safrty zone.

As a rule this campground is not as busy or as hot as the ones around Cle Elum, etc. Lots of hiking and a nearby stream.


Note: this area does require a forest pass or any if the interagency passes like America the Beautiful- - - .

Discovery Pass does not work here.

Thanks for the beta on this! I think we're going to go further east and hit Lone Fir campground just east of Washington pass.
