Natural Features
Stretching north to south from the Canadian border to the Goat Rocks Wilderness, the Okanogan-Wenatchee is a stunning and diverse National Forest. High, glaciated alpine peaks tower along the Cascade Crest and lush valleys of old growth forest define its western boundary. A rugged shrub-steppe country comprises a more arid region at its eastern edge. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to more than 9,000 feet. Visitors to the area can expect many days of clear, sunny weather in the summer, and winters with clear skies and plenty of snow.

Easy camping
I was in space 9 with a view of a waterfall. That was pretty great. It was late June and unseasonably hot. The river was extremely cold and running fast due to the snow melt so I didn't spend time in the water. The water in the hose wasn't clear so I wouldn't use it for drinking without boiling but the đźš» are clean and stocked. I enjoyed my time there and recommend it for a peaceful camping experience.
Perfect for first timers
I wanted to introduce my boyfriend and his dog to camping and make sure they liked it. This place was perfect. Beautiful scenery (spots 4 and 6 were the only ones with river views).Â
Spot 4 is very spacious, with a more private beach area. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. This campground is right off the highway, so you do hear ocasional road noise. The river is pretty loud though. Bugs were not bad and had no issues with critters trying to check you out at night. The spot is windy, but didn’t have too much of an issue getting the fire going. Other campsites were occupied, but didn’t really see or hear them. I still had plenty of internet, so didn’t feel too disconnected. Overall, it was a great spot for introducing someone to camping.
