Location
Description
Nestled in the beautiful Cascade Mountains near the historic town of Liberty, BLM's Liberty Recreation Site offers visitors an opportunity to camp near sparkling Williams Creek. Liberty is popular with visitors using the nearby U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands and motorized trail system. Summer weekends are busy, with visitors filling most of the 15 campsites. Snow closes the gravel roads accessing the site, but the USFS trails near the area are popular for snowmobiles.
Know Before You Go:
- The Liberty Recreation Site is open YEAR ROUND but snow will close access.
- The site has 15 campsites and two vault toilets.
- Help keep the camp area and community clean by packing out all trash and cleaning up after pets.
- Cellular phone reception is limited.
Point of Interest:
With the discovery of gold in nearby Swauk Creek, Liberty was one of several mining camps that sprang up in the 1870s. The town was renamed Liberty in 1916 and it is the oldest mining town site in Washington State.
Directions
In Kittitas County, drive 12 miles south of Swauk Pass on Hwy. 97. Take the Liberty Road one mile, turn right onto Pine Gulch Road (NF 9726), and the BLM site is on the right.
