FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Salmon la Sac Campground and Cayuse Horse Camp will be closed this summer to make much needed repairs and updates.
Work began in Salmon la Sac Campground in the fall of 2005 with the replacement of the existing bathrooms with new vault
toilets. This summer work will continue to address the aging water system that services both campgrounds.
“We want to let people who are accustomed to camping at Salmon la Sac and Cayuse Horse Camp know about the closure well
in advance of the summer season so they will have a chance to make other arrangements,” said District Ranger, Rodney
Smoldon. Other campgrounds in the Cle Elum Valley will be open as usual on a first-come first-served basis. Kachess
Campground will remain open with campsites that can be reserved in advance at ReserveUSA.com.
Salmon la Sac Campground and Cayuse Horse Camp were constructed by CCC crews in the 1930s. Generations of families
and friends have enjoyed camping in these campgrounds. “The work we accomplish this summer will allow those traditions to
continue; hopefully with a higher quality experience,” Smoldon said. Salmon la Sac and Cayuse are scheduled to re-open for
the 2007 camping season. For more information, please contact the Cle Elum Ranger Station at (509) 825-1100.
