"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!"
"Rolled in late at night on an audible after campground at Lake Wenatchee didn't work out. Great tent sites, with decent spacing between them."
"Loved how close to the river it was was nice white noise throughout the night. Close to town and lake colchuck"
"So we got wet when it rained and had a bit of an issue with water pooling next to the electric outlet but the staff was right on it and dug a small trench for the water to drain."
$18 - $36 / night
"First visit to Washington and I went camping in my hammock. Perfect cold weather. Unfortunate that the wood was too dry for any fire. Next time!"
"Beautiful location not too far outside of town, several sites were available when we arrived, unlike the first two campgrounds we checked closer to town."
"The campground is divided into two parts by a crisp clear and cold Wenatchee River, flowing out of Lake Wenatchee, locat d in the central Cascade Mountains of Washington."
"_We love camping in this area of Washington. There are so many campsites and each one is just far away from the nearest town which is so nice to know that you won't be bothered by the busy road."
"The grounds are next to the Wenatchee River between a highway and railroad tracks. None of the noise is bad at all (of you’re sound sensitive this probably isn’t your place)."
"Great location on the river. Lots of places to walk the dogs. Sandy areas on the river to hang out. About 20 mins to Leavenworth and 15 mins to Wenatchee. Friendly staff."
"Close to the highway but wasn’t loud at night"
"This beautiful campground has everything you want and need: water, trails, scenic views, ample campsites, clean bathrooms and easy access. "
"Nice campground close to Wenatchee. Access to swimming on the Columbia. Open area for running around, playground etc. can get crowded, but nothing Out of the ordinary for a state park."
$27 - $54 / night
"I think I paid $22. for a walk-in tent site (but we camped in the parking lot in our rooftop tent). The best walk in tent site is right on the river. Very relaxing. Beautifully wooded sites."
"Close to Leavenworth and so far away at the same time. Beautiful hiking! We’ll be back again and again."
$152 / night
"The river: the campground is next to Icicle Creek which we was lovely to listen to and our pup loved splashing around and cooling down."
"We didn't get to camp right next to the water (unfortunately) as all of those spaces were full (for obvious reason)."
"Gorgeous views of the river and surrounding hills everywhere you look. However you do have to navigate the city of Wenatchee office park to get there."
"The campground is just outside of town and next to the river. The river level was low so the swimming area was disappointing at the time we were there. Campground was so quiet. "
ScoutNext to Hwy and behind tall bushes. Vault bathrooms 1/4 mile down the road. Pretty quiet spot even though 300 yards from highway.
ScoutDrove out there to find out that it's closed such a waste of time ! 6-12-25
ScoutLovely area such beautiful surroundings. But be very cautious as near one of the camp sites are very dangerous plants that are fatal and they are lined all around the campground so not recommended if you have children.
GuideSo first time camping here and the park is really nice and clean. We camped in the RV spots with our trailer and they have a nice concrete pad that the picnic table is on. Garbage is close by and clean around it. The swimming part of the park is nice and easy to access. The trailer dump site is clean and easy to get in and out of. Will be going back again
LegendWenatchee River County Park Really nice basic park that feels like a campground but it’s RVs only, no tents allowed. We stopped here for 2 nights with the Passport America discount to do a reset from boondocking- showers, laundry, cleaning, etc. We stayed in a back-in, PHU site by the volleyball court. Full price for this site is $40, no additional taxes or fees. The 50% Passport America discount is weeknights only, April and October only, for up to 5 nights. Campground is only open April through October.
The showers here were hot and clean and $0.25 for 4 min, payable with quarters. Laundry room was nice but very small with only 2 washers and 2 dryers, $2.50 each, pay via credit card or download an app. There’s a book exchange in the laundry room as well. There’s a “dog run” which is just an open strip of land along the side of the park, fenced on one side and tree-lined on the other. Dogs are allowed off leash in this area. The campground also runs along the Wenatchee River, but it’s surprising they haven’t developed this area with a nice walkway along the river and benches and things. The area around the river is kind of rugged and overgrown, hard to really get to the water. They will fill propane here as well, $5/gal (yikes!), and not on Sundays. There’s a dump station here as well, and I didn’t see a clean water fill but I’d imagine they’d let you fill at an empty site. Staff here is really friendly, the campground has an entry gate with is nice for security.
The road noise was loud and a little obnoxious. There’s also a train that goes through here but the train noise doesn’t bother me like freeway noise does. There are signs everywhere that no tobacco is allowed- they seem to be very strict about this! They also asked what breeds our dogs are, which a county park has never done before, but I told her “mixed” and that was acceptable. Good cell reception and their free wifi also worked well.
LegendGreat boondocking. We made it fine in our 26ft class c, but the big sharp-edged rocks were concerning to drive over. And when we left we found a giant rock wedged between the two back tires (the dually tires). Not sure if we would go back, for this reason. But the lake level was really low when we stayed there, so there was plenty of available space for camping. A van or two, a truck camper, tent campers, a little scamp, and lots and lots of day time ATV users shared this space with us.
Cell service was good for both ATT and Verizon. Even though the area looks so remote, it’s right next to the road, so you have road noise that’s fairly loud. There was some trash, normal amounts, nothing horrible, until we came across this massive dumping ground of cans and food waste and broken glass and just general garbage, a couple miles north, along the lake. It was so disheartening.
GuideAlmost at the top of the mountain but not quite. Pretty good view of the lake below and almost no light pollution. Very windy road to get up but I pulled my trailer fine. Washboard road at the beginning but it gets better. Several places along the way, and beyond, to pull off to camp, at least a dozen, and they're quite dispersed from each other. Only saw one other person the entire time.
GuideHas a vault toilet and picnic table, first come first served
GuideThere are a ton of really great sites along this road, although most of the drive-in sites will be taken if it’s a busy weekend, so get there early!
