Sweltzer Creek Campgrounds

Pretty average campgrounds, it’s not a far drive from Cultus Lake (5 mins or so) and it has a nice, calm, shallow creek along some of the campsites. It was relatively quiet and definitely family friendly although they do not shy away from the party crowd, within reason. They have a beautiful green field in the middle of the site with a great playground. We had a large site, across the grounds from the creek and while it was not private, we did not feel crowded either. Everyone kept to themselves and the camp staff were very nice when they came to see you in the evening.
We had our two small dogs with us who we kept off-​leash most of the time and received no complaints. They warned us to keep them on-​leash at night due to the wildlife in the area but were very kind about it and clearly meant to keep us safe, rather than simply uphold a rule. The only reason this place is not getting 5 or even 4 stars is because of the bathroom situation…
We stayed in Site 40 which is on the opposite of the grounds from their main bathroom, unfortunately, this meant we must use their porta-​potties. The problem with this was that their was a very large group (20+ women) using the same ones so by the time we left on Sunday morning, the porta-​potties were full. No… I am not exaggerating. They were basically unusable for women. As disgusting as that is to read, think how disgusting they were to use.
The large bathrooms on the other side of the grounds had two showers which was nice but it was way too far from us for us to use regularly. Probably a 5 minute walk or so, which is unreasonable in the dead of night.
$ 30/​night for one spot and one car, $ 5 additional for another car, reservations are available for all sites, which was really nice.

A bunch of sites have a shallow creek you can wade around in and float in. Sites aren’t huge but were big enough, had picnic table /​firepit /​bit of grass. Could be bigger. Apparently had showers in the front area, but I didn’t use them because we left in the morning early anyway.
I was there with a bachelor party, so we were probably a lot louder than most guests. The camp staff fortunately was very good about making clear what quiet times are and didn’t get pissed at us for being too loud or having a huge fire, they just would come buy and very diplomatically let us know to keep it down.
Being cool about it is why I’m giving them 4 stars.
