We camped with our 36' DP a few years ago in the Methow State Wildlife Area about 6 miles north of Winthrop right off the asphalt road at Boulder Creek. BTW - Many but not all Washington WMAs (wildlife management areas) offer free dispersed camping. This time of year, there are no hunters and we had great camping luck in several nice WMAs. As a matter of fact, boondockers should always check the states WMAs wherever they are as even in the populated east, many are open off season to dispersed camping, though you may be limited to the WMA parking area. Almost all sites have pit toilets in Washington I've found.
