Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Chelan, WA

Lake Chelan State Park Campground maintains pet-friendly sites with standard Washington State Park rules requiring dogs to be leashed at all times. Several campgrounds near Chelan welcome pets with varying amenities, including Beebe Bridge Park, Wapato Lake Campground, and Antilon Lake Campground, which provides free camping with pets allowed. Campers browse The Dyrt when exploring the best sites near Chelan, Washington. Most parks require pets to remain on leashes no longer than 8 feet, be attended at all times, and kept out of buildings and designated swimming areas. Tent and RV sites accommodating pets are available at all these locations, though Lakeshore RV Park offers year-round accessibility for those traveling with dogs during colder months.

The waterfront sites at Beebe Bridge Park provide excellent opportunities for dogs to cool off in the Columbia River during hot summer months. Clean, well-maintained grounds with grassy areas are ideal for walking pets, though the campground's location near the highway requires caution with off-leash pets. Lake Chelan State Park features trails suitable for dog walking, while Daroga State Park offers water access and walking paths along the shoreline where leashed pets can explore. Cheval Cellars Wine Camp provides a unique option for wine enthusiasts traveling with pets, featuring private, elevated sites with views of the lakes and valley. Visitors should note that most campgrounds strictly enforce waste cleanup policies and quiet hours to minimize disturbance from barking dogs, particularly during peak summer season when sites fill quickly.

    Lake Chelan State Park Campground

    Beautiful campground on the shores of Lake Chelan

    Great option to camp at Lake Chelan about 15 min from Chelan on the quiet south shore. The campground has great water access, boat launching, some waterfront sites (on the west loop) and a quiet family-oriented atmosphere. Clean bathrooms, shower and great cell reception (AT&T).

    Columbia Cove RV Park

    50/50

    The camp host is fantastic but set your expectations. The swimming pool that is attached is not open on weekends. So that’s a bummer. The sites are narrow and you’re literally within a neighborhood, with views of the homes available at every site. Anglers have the advantage, with the boat launch right there. Benefits - 30 minutes from Chelan, fairly inexpensive $50 a night for full hookup) and the countryside is beautiful. This is not a suitable site for big rigs. We have a 22 foot and it was pretty tight.

    Leavenworth-Pine Village KOA

    We keep coming back!

    We’ve camped here a number of times and love it. 4 kids and a dog. We’ve tent camped, stayed in the cabins and our class C RV. We’ve been in a variety of spots around the campground. Our favorite were tent camping over the river and being close to the playground & dog park on the RV. The store is the best I’ve come across at a campsite. Great kid craft activities, nice playground, yummy pancake breakfast, great access for swimming in the river. We walk to town. It’s awesome.

    Carl Precht RV Park Eastside Park

    Clean and Green

    A comfortable park on the banks of the Okanagan River at the stampede grounds..... Well maintained with large shade trees. And, a great dog park for your pups...

    Blue Lake Resort

    Cute and Nice People

    The spots were solid dirt and our site was on top of the one next to us. It would have been better suited for a smaller rig (we were in a thirty foot trailer). The lake was actually a pond and was so scummy I wouldn’t let our kids swim in it. The dog park was a nice touch and lots of fun sitting areas and outdoor games. Right next to the road. Hosts were accommodating and so nice. Turtles in the pond were super cute! The wine bar was a nice touch. Showers kept flooding the bathroom but they were clean. Laundry was expensive.

    Chumstick Mountain Dispersed Camping

    Great area to camp along the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route

    Within the almost 4 million acres of the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest, lie countless locations for dispersed camping. This area of the southeast corner of the NF has very little traffic compared to others, we saw only one ATV for the whole time we were there. This area lies along the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route between the Cashmere and Chelan sections along NF-7400. Obviously, this is a 4X4 road and I wouldn't suggest it in anything less. Incredible sunset views of the valley in front of Chumstick Mountain, it gets pretty windy at night but there are treelines you can position against. This particular spot photographed is just up the hill off the roadside in a nice grassy clearing. More spots were just up the hill around the bend as well.

    Laurent’s Sun Village Resort

    Second time was not the charm

    I was so excited to visit the campground again, but when I showed up I heard the words “we have new ownership” uh oh… the park was still the same with amazing water access, great boat launch area and lots of cabins for those not wanting to commit to a full camper set up. The newest verbiage that they do no encourage pets any more, and the $25 a night pet fee was a little unsettling. Also this was not communicated and we got hit with almost $100 in pet fees when we checked out. Night two resulted in the power to 20% of the campsites going out and would not be fixed. 100 degrees with no A/C was a great way to clear a section of the campground. Overall a good trip, but my rating went down to 3 stars because of the new pet policy. If you don’t have pets then it is a great place to stay. For us we love Blue Lake itself, but will be moving to another resort on the lake.

    Baldy Mountain Dispersed Camping

    Stellar views of Lake Chelan yet worlds away

    This campsite is along the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route between the Cashmere and Chelan sections along NF-8410. Obviously, this is a 4X4 road but if you approach from the Chelan side you could maybe get away with a high clearance AWD vehicle. Incredible sunset views of the valley overlooking Lake Chelan to one side and a vast forested mountain range to the other. This particular spot photographed is on the south side of the road to the north of the Baldy Mountain crest. This area seemed to have a good number of sites in the immediate vicinity, not that we saw anything in them. This particular site was clearly well used as it was flat, had log stump seats, and a stone fire pit (even if you aren't supposed to have fires most of the year in this forest). Someone even built a rustic camp toilet in the woods just away from the campsite.

    Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park

    Small and crowded

    Not the greatest campground, but ok overflow if you can't get into Lake Chelan State Park. Sites are very close together, it's nuts on the weekend, and the swimming area is a bit sad. Upsides include clean bathrooms and showers, nice dock, a small store, and it's right on Lake Chelan. Not a good value for the price though. Cost=$25-$35. Discovery Pass required, too. Reservable through Washington State Parks.
