"Leavenworth in washington is one of my favorite places to visit. One of the reasons I love coming here is because the hiking is incredible. Colchuck Lake is a must if you are in the Leavenworth area!"
"I went to Leavenworth for the Oktoberfest event with friends. We stayed there for two nights. We checked in and out very easily and it was very perfect. There are something that I like about KOA."

"We camped here due to all the campgrounds near the enchantments being full, but the 25 drive to and from leavenworth was very pretty and not too bad. Try to get a site on the creek!"
"Very close to amazing hikes and Leavenworth. Camp hosts were helpful, bathrooms were clean and comfortable."

"Convenient location between Leavenworth and Wenatchee. Must call or show up to make same day reservations. Otherwise can reserve online. Road noise during day. Was quiet from 10pm to 6am."

"We chose this campground because it was close to Leavenworth but we could still have a fun camping experience. We also checked out the Eightmile Lake Trail nearby for a pretty hike to an alpine lake."
"Quick last minute bouldering trip in Leavenworth"
LegendNice folks at check in. A gate code is needed to check in. We had a pull through, gravel site. Utilities were well placed. There was a note not to flush your tank due to there sensitive septic system. There is a nice lake in front of our site. Paths that go to the Yakima river or along side it was nice. Just on the other side of the freeway is the town of Cle Elum. Nice bakeries and breweries is what attracted us. :-)
Clean restrooms, everything well maintained.
GuideQuiet with great views. The site is very sandy so be prepared to be covered in it!
TravelerPros:
- Lots of trees for shade, but open enough to get lots of sun, too.- Flat, sandy soil, good for tents, lots of room.
- Three picnic tables, steel fire pit, bear proof trash cans, 2 clean porta potties are well stocked.
- Right by the river(it's loud, so that might be a con for some).
- You can drive right up to the tent/table area to unload.- Great fishing/swimming hole nearby.
- No trash around, very well kept.
- Beautiful area and river!!
Cons:
- Sandy soil blows around pretty bad if it's windy. Gets in EVERYTHING.
- The gate is kinda hard to unlock because the lock has been abused, needs replacement. Also quite certain the code never changes, so other people could easily get in if they've been there before.
- Porta potties needed emptying.
- Fish in the river are very small, but plentiful.
General comments, suggestions:- Bring fire wood, if fires are allowed- make sure you check before you come.
- Bring a few wasp traps in mid-late summer- BIG black& white hornets, but not too bad early summer.
- Lots of ants, beetles, flying bugs, some mosquitoes, so come prepared.
- Bring buckets for water, and a shovel.
- Good river for fly fishing, but spinners ok too, just harder. COLD water.
- This is bear/cougar country - bring protection.
- Lots of good hiking trails and rock climbing spots nearby.
ScoutWe go to this place every summer. Many people already know the entrance, so nowadays there is a portable toilet available for campers. I recommend downloading the offline map and be prepared to have no cell phone signal. During the day, the view is breathtaking, and at night, the stars complete your stay. Don't expect to have running water, electricity or a shower. Clean up after yourself and take your trash with you because there is no trash can nearby. The coordinates we used for the spot:
47.33285919069752, -121.10736907478774
TravelerThis place is amazing, easy to get into, lots of camping spaces, beautiful views.
There is a lot of garbage, and especially broken glass bottles 😢
Asides from that is great! We have full bars on T-Mobile, and have no neighbors with 300 feet or so.
The entrance is a little tricky, and the “road”s are a little rough when you’re down here.
TravelerPassed a park ranger on the way and he never said anything. There is also paid for camping on the way up here. But this spot is prime and free, just takes about 40 minutes to get to while on an unpaved road. Also have full service. About 4,750 ft high.
TravelerJust went out last night to check and see if it was open, Lewis G. is correct. A big gate is up at the end of the road saying "road closed"
LegendThis review, and apparently most other reviews here, are for the south campground. I didn't see a Dyrt record for the north campground, but it should potentially have one as south and north are pretty different. North is more basic and peaceful and rugged, and south is more developed and family friendly. There is direct access to the lake here, with a boat launch. There's a playground, store with snacks and basics, and accessible and gendered restrooms. 20 ft max vehicle length, per sign at campground entrance.
No Discover Pass needed to camp here, but the Discover Pass will get you in for free day use if you aren't camping here.
LegendWe checked this place out but decided not to stay. It’s free, and nice, and easy access, and there were a few spots where we would have fit in our 26ft class c, but it somehow seemed too overgrown and claustrophobic. We decided to continue on and look for boondocking in the forest.
There was only one set of campers when we visited here in the middle of the week. It’s a small campground, with around 10 or fewer sites, one way in and out with an area to turn around at the end.
Sites come with picnic tables and fire pits. Zero cell reception for Verizon or ATT. Clean pit toilet at the campground entrance. 14 day stay limit. No trash service, no water.
