Entiat City Park maintains pet-friendly policies throughout their campsites, with accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces, and walk-in spots along the Columbia River. Dogs must remain leashed while on campground property except in designated areas. Several campers have noted the campground remains quiet and family-friendly even during busy summer weekends. Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground offers similar pet-friendly amenities with additional cabin options that accept well-behaved dogs. Lincoln Rock State Park and Daroga State Park also welcome pets with specific guidelines including designated pet areas and waste disposal stations. Most campgrounds in the area enforce standard leash requirements of 6-8 feet maximum length and limit pets to 2-3 per site depending on the facility.
Riverside trails at Entiat City Park provide excellent pet exercise opportunities with some pathways connecting directly to campsites for convenient dog walking. The campground's location near the water gives pets cooling options during hot summer months when temperatures frequently exceed 90°F in July and August. Swiftwater Farm maintains a more rustic camping experience while still accommodating pets with 5 spacious sites. Morning and evening walks present the best opportunity for pet exercise as midday summer temperatures can be too hot for dog paws on exposed surfaces. Wildlife encounters are possible in this region, so keeping pets properly secured prevents unwanted interactions with deer, raccoons, and occasional small predators that frequent the riverside areas. Veterinary services can be found in Wenatchee, approximately 30 minutes south of Entiat.
"Stayed here with my dog. Beach and swimming area are NOT dog friendly. There are areas to play in the water but it’s not as accessible. Staff was pleasant."
"With that being said the walk in sites along the lake are amazing. The walk in on most of them is not much more than a normal site (down a few steps)."

ScoutIt was fairly easy to get to this area however despite our best efforts we only found one established campsite with a fire ring. Road getting here was mostly paved with some debris on the roadway. We lost GPS signal just before arriving and passed NF200. I gave 3 stars because we were unable to locate other sites. Maybe it was just me but we drove quite a while on NF200 and only found the one right at the entrance.
TravelerThe heated bathrooms with showers were definitely comfort on our cross country road trip. We arrived after hours but because we already had made reservations that morning we were able to use the slider and enter the campground. Star gazing is always top priority. We headed down to the lake’s beach to snap some shots with my iPhone 14 Pro night, setting on a tripod and remote.
GuideIt's really a great little gated park that's fairly affordable. Unfortunately, it's right off the highway and on the other side of the river are the train tracks. Both are quite active. Otherwise this is a 5-star. Office folks were friendly and helpful.
LegendWe spent a pleasant evening in this beautiful park. Facilities are clean and well kept. Sites are spread out with plenty of grassy area between each site.
RangerDecent little camp ground, designated spots at the top an you can drive down to the lake. Walking around you did see a fair amount of trash N no cell signals.
LegendWe dry camped here for three nights. On and off there was two or three other campers with us. Lots of area probably could hold 20 to 30 campers. About 20 minutes from grand Cooley Dam. Right on the lake. Downfall there really wasn’t any place to hike or walk in the area. Sign posted you were to have a Discover pass from Washington, but we were unable to get one and nobody ever stopped to check.
RangerNot far off main road, and gravel road not bad at all. Absolutely no cell coverage, a few designated spots.
ScoutLots of camper trailers, basically a cow field. If you want a private spot you have to traverse a sketchy road that if you don't have awd and decent tires and ground clearance you'll be screwed.
ScoutFREE!! NO FEE!! This place has around 20 spots. Some of the spots are on one road right as you enter with a vault toilet. But if you continue and take a right down that road there are more spots and another vault toilet. The larger sites are on this second road.
Each spot has a picnic table and fire ring.
It looks like the road has a closed during the winter but the camping is still open. Snowmobiling to the sites.
Entiat sits along the Columbia River at the mouth of the Entiat River in north-central Washington. Summer temperatures often reach 90°F during July and August, with cooler spring and fall seasons offering more moderate camping conditions. The riverside location creates opportunities for water activities while the surrounding Cascade foothills provide hiking terrain for outdoor enthusiasts.
Swimming access: Entiat City Park features a designated swimming area along the Columbia River with a small beach that runs the length of the camping area. "This was a great place to take the kids for a weekend to swim at the lake. There is a picnic table at each spot it seems, which is convenient," notes Kate I. The park includes a dock perfect for supervised swimming.
Paddle sports: Lake Chelan State Park is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding. Steven G. shares, "This park is about 10 miles from town and has tent sites that are right on the lake, its amazing. There is a boat launch and large swimming area." Many campers rent equipment in nearby towns for day use on the water.
Hiking trails: Lake Wenatchee State Park offers trails suitable for all ability levels around the lake. "There are quite a few trails to do around the lake," says Crystal F., adding that "the lake is absolutely beautiful." The park connects to longer regional trail systems for more extensive hiking opportunities.
Riverside views: Lincoln Rock State Park provides stunning Columbia River vistas. "Open area for running around, playground etc. can get crowded, but nothing out of the ordinary for a state park," explains Zane G. The campground's position offers views of the river gorge and surrounding landscapes.
Clean facilities: Daroga State Park maintains high-quality amenities. "Even in November, there's groundskeepers maintaining the sites, leaf blowing, etc. would not hesitate to stay here again!" reports Lori. The park's attentive maintenance creates a comfortable camping experience even during shoulder seasons.
Grass camping areas: Many campgrounds near Entiat feature well-maintained grassy sites rather than dirt or gravel pads. At Beebe Bridge Park, "Perfect grass, hot showers, shade trees. Get a site on the River for less freeway noise," recommends Sarah L. The grassy sites provide comfortable tent setups and play areas.
Reservation requirements: During peak summer months, advance planning is essential. "Make sure you reserve a site online. If you just show up last minute you may be Sol," advises Kevin K. about Lake Wenatchee State Park. Most established campgrounds accept reservations 6-9 months in advance.
Sprinkler schedules: Several campgrounds have automatic irrigation systems that run regardless of camping setup. Travis B. warns about Daroga State Park: "The only unpleasant part of the trip was the automatic sprinkler system coming on Monday-Friday for 30 minutes at each site. We had to almost pack everything up into the trailer each day."
Weather considerations: The area experiences significant temperature fluctuations. "In my experience it's always warmer on the east side of the mountains so be prepared with plenty of cold drinks and sunscreen," notes Dawnielle C. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F while spring and fall offer more moderate conditions.
Playground access: Many campgrounds feature dedicated play structures. At Wenatchee Confluence State Park, "There's extra parking available as well as several pull-throughs. The day use area included a boat ramp, seating on the river, tennis courts, picnic tables, and a very nice play structure," describes Corinna B.
