Area Riding:
This area is in the central Cascades and there are numerous good roads in the general vicinity. There are forest service roads going to quite a number of scenic areas as well as Stampede Pass. A lot of great dual sport riding to be had in this area of WA.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the campground is very close to I-90 (!1mile south) and road noise was pretty loud.
