Site 6 - Cascade River Retreat

Hosts Dog Highly Aggressive

Since 2022, I have been here multiple times, but I will not return after my last stays events. On October 6th around 5 pm PST, my spouse and I were walking back from the river on the trail with our bassethound dog. My dog was wearing her collar and walking by our side as shes trained to do so. We also had her leash on hand. We came into contact with the hosts parents who also reside on the property. They were coming out of the woods onto the trail and their pitbull mix dog ran up to us. They expressed concern that they didn't know other dogs were down by the river. We didn't understand what that meant at the time. Their pitbull mix dog didn't have a collar or harness and we didn't visibly see the owners have a leash on hand. The dogs were smelling and my bassethound was wagging her tail. Within, a few minutes their dog attacked our dog. The attack lasted around five minutes. Their dog wouldn't stop until my husband and I intervened. And the hosts farther told us to grab our dogs collar which my spouse was finally able to do without potentially getting bit by their dog. Their dog left a deep gash in my dogs ear along with a second bite in the same ear. The hosts mother, Kathy expressed how terrible she felt and provide us with a disinfect that evening. We left quickly the following morning. The attack occurred 5 days ago and my dogs wound is still healing. *I would like to point out that Kathy and her husband did NOT warn us that their dog was aggressive.*

Site 4 - Cascade River Retreat

Great site! Everything you could want for a campsite: fire pit, nearby firewood, space for multiple tents and a couple cars, and a quick walk to a nearby stream with beautiful views of the mountains in the morning.

Walk in site 15

Had a great stay at the camp. One night stay at a walk-in tent site near the river. Close enough to river to hear it which was soothing for sleep.

Site 7 - Cascade River Retreat

Site 7 was perfect!

We’ve stayed at Cascade River Retreat before and we will stay there again. Absolutely lovely as always! Site 7 was nice, it seemed a little more tucked away than the other sites we’ve stayed in. Plenty of flat space for two tents.

Site 3 - Cascade River Retreat

Very easy to book and find! Perfect “base camp” for exploring North Cascades. It was great that we could buy firewood right on site.

Walk in Site 12

Overall good!

The site felt private and spacious; the walk from the car with the help of wagons weren’t bad at all! Firewood was available for purchase in a self-pay station. The only slight negative is that it was very hard to find the potable water station; we walked around the entire campground but couldn’t find it. (We could’ve messaged the host though, it was just too late at night so we filled at the river and purified the water instead.) This site is the closest walk from the car, but if you like being closer to the river, sites 15-17 are next to the river bed and looked cute.
